The BEST divorce attorney you could possibly hire
I have been with Robert, pre and post divorce for over four years. Without hesitation, I would recommend him to anyone out there looking for the best attorney to handle just about any divorce matter. We have NEVER lost a RFO and I have been through the divorce from HELL. His staff is superb and get the job done. I have shed many a tear and almost went over the edge several years ago, when the divorce stalled. Robert has been my rock and without him, I would have NEVER been able to deal with this narc. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

Robert Borsky is one of the few honest, honorable and professional attorneys out there with a heart and a soul.
4.8.14 “In short, I was represented. Robert Borsky pulled it in, got control, then got it done, instead of taking me for a ride. My only regret besides having to go through this travesty called “Family Law”, is not engaging Robert Borsky from the very beginning.” My divorce took 6 long years to finish from February 2008 to January 2014. Seven attorneys later, it was the divorce from hell that would not end. Having to thank the corrupted “Industry” of California Family Law for that, too much time, energy and all of my resources were completely wasted, only to see my entire family become the victims. I’ve experienced the “super attorney” who was only super at keeping me on the clock as they dragged their feet with delay after delay, only to satisfy their own financial interests, to the attorney who was very hard working and honest but lacked courtroom savvy/experience and the ability to get things done. The other five attorneys were everything else in between. My case was a train running out of control because of bad and/or dishonest representation (or lack of). I met Robert Borsky at a workshop he was heading in 2008 that offered assistance to those who wanted to educate themselves on the subject and process of divorce. I liked his workshop and message and decided to give him a call after being betrayed and abandoned by attorney number 6. My brief experience with Mr. Borsky was a very positive one. Besides being very accessible, he was always well prepared in our meetings both in and out of court and would exercise his ability to collaborate and contribute good ideas which complimented his knowledge of family law and my case. Always fair and honest and fully engaged, he also shared a sensitivity level that really helped me rebuild my confidence towards a resolution to my case especially after six laborious years of litigation. Additionally, he had no problem exercising his bravado in court or asserting himself when dealing with the rouge antics of opposing counsel. In short, I was represented. Robert Borsky pulled it in, got control, then got it done, instead of taking me for a ride. My only regret besides having to go through this travesty called “Family Law”, is not engaging Robert Borsky from the very beginning. In conclusion, I was not commissioned by Robert Borsky to write this testimonial but only asked to share my experience regarding the services performed by his firm. Thank you once again Robert, for all of your help. VS
