Mr. Daniel Paletz was is an outstanding lawyer, and I am incredibly impressed with his knowledge and ability to handle a courtroom. He took on a case that was larger than anyone anticipated with an opposing team that did all they could to get our side to back down. Daniel, with nothing but profession...alism, outsmarted and out-lawyered the opposition. He won the case and got our team everything requested. It was a tedious fight, but Mr. Paletz never backed down, never got lazy, and never stopped digging to make sure he had every piece of material needed to prove his client's word. I can not express enough how well this man did his job. While I hope to never have to use his services again, I recommend those of you that are in an unfortunate situation contact him. Grade A man. Please feel free to DM me if you have more questions about him and his firm.

If you are looking for a family law attorney, look no further - Kermisch & Paletz is the right choice, for whatever your family law needs are! I have used Daniel Paletz and his associate, Lauren Lookofsky, throughout my very contentious divorce and both of them have been absolutely amazing!!! Not... only are they extremely knowledgeable in family law and know their stuff as well as being dependable, reliable and always get back to me promptly when I need legal advice on a matter or need them to handle a matter, they are also personable and easy to talk to and explain everything which was very important to me. What has also been great in working with them is that pretty much everything could be done electronically which has been great and very time saving so that I don't need to drive to their office for all the paperwork, etc. Most importantly, Daniel and Lauren have been able to negotiate with my ex (who I am certain has been their most difficult opposing party ever), but when negotiation was not possible, they kicked my ex's butt in court! Daniel represented me throughout my trial. He is an amazing and impressive litigator who remembers all the facts of the case and cites all the case laws from memory. He is a very aggressive advocate, which is what I needed in dealing with my ex who has been very difficult and harassing. I can't tell you how many times other parties came up to Daniel as we left the court room, told him what an amazing job he did and asked for his business card. I am very grateful to Daniel and Lauren for the successful outcomes they have achieved for me throughout my divorce process and thereafter. I am certain I would not be where I am today without them. I highly recommend Kermisch & Paletz for any of your family law needs. You won't be disappointed!

My son wanted to move in with me. We needed a ruling before he started school in the fall, six months. This is impossible to do with a slow court system. Originally my case was with Lauren, one of the less expensive attorneys at this firm. Unfortunately she had an accident and was unable represen...t me in court. Daniel, the full partner, called me and told me that he would be representing me. I worried because I felt in that Lauren was on top of case. She is sharp and managed to get a court date that I thought impossible. My first surprise with Daniel was that he would be charging me at Lauren’s significantly lower rate. The judge in my case was going to request an evaluation with my son. Doing this would have prolonged my case months after my original court date. On the morning of my court date Daniel was able to find minor’s counsel to represent my son and get the other side to agree. My second surprise with Daniel was that the judge on my case accepted the minor’s counsel in lieu of an evaluation. The judge ruled in my favor on my first court appearance. Over the years I have become hardened and distrust lawyers. Daniel told me that he is selective of his cases and only takes the ones that should be fought. I thought ya right. Daniel told me that I had a good chance of losing my case. Other firms told me that I had the highest chances of winning. After spending lunch with him I truly believe he is decent person. Every week the partners take the entire staff out to lunch just to bond and catch up. In one of these lunches someone mentioned that they should every have a company Starbucks card. Now the entire staff has free coffee from the Starbucks next to their office. Several times Daniel said bless you to people sneezing nearby that day. After spending the day with Daniel, I truly believe that he cares and will tell you like it is. He will not tell you what you want to hear just to make a buck. If I lost my case, I would post this same review.

Daniel Paletz has been our attorney for the past year out of the 7 years I've had to rely on relief from the family court. In that one year, he accomplished more than had been accomplished by our previous attorney in the six years she represented us. The first time I knew of Daniel, we were in court ...(being represented by our previous attorney). His clients case was called before ours and we were SO impressed with his ability to command the proceedings, while still giving all due respect to the court. My dad and my current husband got his card that day, without knowing the other had asked. Daniel is an AMAZING litigator, when we needed to litigate, but was able to successfully negotiate several issues before we even stood in front of our judge. His office staff (Jillian and Eddie) are amazingly helpful, professional, and always responsive. I also had a wonderful experience, considering the circumstances, with Daniel's associate attorney, Aja. Daniel knew money was an issue for us, and therefore had Aja handle most of the pleadings for us because she charges a lesser fee. Aja is EXTREMELY competent, attentive, and responsive. Daniel and Jillian were extremely flexible with payment arrangements and retainer fees. But above all else, Daniel was able to keep focused on the end result and fought extremely hard for our children. His firm is the best thing that has happened to us in our extremely difficult family court experience. Family court is an emotional experience, and Daniel was able to keep us calm throughout the entire process. When you are called to stand in front of the judge, things happen VERY quickly - he never missed a beat. He is beyond impressive and worth his weight in gold.
