THANK YOU

Ilana helped me get through one of the most difficult times of my life and I can safely say that she fought for me as she would for family. She was professional and considerate during a sensitive time. She did a great job at translating legal-speak into English for me and making sure that I walked aw...ay with everything that was legally mine. It was a tough case, and I am so thankful to have had Ilana on my side. I highly recommend Ilana to anyone looking for an exceptionally strong and committed attorney.

Best expierience with a lawyer

Ilana was the best expierience I had with any lawyer. She was efficient diligent and executed everything we discussed perfectly. Her work is flawless!!! She was able to deliver all my concerns and my terms were met in full. She was 100% dedicated to my case, and really took care of me, which is all y...ou want when feeling so vulnerable.

Thank You!

Thank you, Ilana P Schauer for your kindness, brilliance, and expertise with my most difficult and litigious case. Your willingness to take your time to listen to my situation, be compassionate and effective helped the entire process be reframed in a more humane way. Before I entered your office, I... had spent 15 years and thousands of dollars on several attorneys who were not able to resolve my case. In only 2 months, your office did what no others could do - finally settle my case. For over a year now, I have been free from legal harassment by my opponent. Since then, when any issue comes up, Ilana has been attentive and resourceful. I thank her from the bottom of my heart. I highly recommend Ilana Plotking Schauer and her team for any divorce and especially for the most difficult ones.

Incredible!

Getting divorced is, of course, one of the most heartbreaking and horrible experiences you could ever live through. It also makes you feel so alone and vulnerable... literally every aspect of your work and home life gets dragged out into the open, and one of the people you loved most in the world is ...now your worst enemy, using every tiny detail they can get their hands on to make you seem like *you're* the bad guy. I interviewed a lot of attorneys to try and find one that really understood all that and, while they all paid lip service to the concept, only Ilana truly "got it." She was extremely generous with her time during the initial consultation and, although I could only afford her and her firm on a limited basis, she treated me like I was a longtime, high-paying client. She always made time to listen to me and my concerns, and when I started feeling lost and overwhelmed, she was a calming influence and helped me keep my mind and wits about me. I was so devastated at the time I felt like I could never get back on my feet, but seeing Ilana seemingly able to get me a good result when I thought for sure I would lose everything was the shot in the arm I needed to take a deep breath for the first time in a long time and realize that life could actually get better again. THANK YOU to a wonderful attorney and powerful advocate! To anyone who reads this, look no further: THIS is who you need as your attorney!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
