Daniel Josef Paletz

I hired Daniel to protect my legal rights and act in the best interests of our children. Instead, I experienced the opposite. He pressured me to sign a stipulation in a way that felt like borderline blackmail, threatening to withdraw representation and adjust billing for services not rendered unless ...I complied. He disregarded critical court orders regarding co-parenting therapy, minimized their importance, and ignored my repeated concerns about securing timely school enrollment for our children. Even more alarming, during a call (witnessed by others), he told me “F*** you”, completely unprofessional, disrespectful, and unacceptable for any attorney. I have also repeatedly asked for a clear, itemized bill to understand what I am being charged for, what work wasn’t performed, and whether there are duplicate charges since he had duplicate charges in the past. To this day, he has refused to provide transparency. I always paid my bills and treated him with respect, but I was met with condescension, dismissiveness, and questionable billing practices. If you are looking for an attorney who will prioritize your children’s best interests, follow court orders, communicate clearly, and treat you with respect, I cannot recommend Daniel. My experience was the complete opposite.

Daniel Paletz and Jorge Guardado are rare exceptions in any industry.

Family centric this firm recognizes time with your children is everything!

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!

Daniel Paletz was my lawyer in a very contentious divorce for two and a half years. He is intelligent, has extensive experience with family law and he can relate to young children advising what would be best for the family. He was fair, kind and caring with me during the process. My ex was obstrepero...us and continuously tried to harass me with endless and frivolous ex partes in court. I trusted Daniel completely throughout this difficult journey and he guided me when I was disheartened and unsure. After a long and arduous journey, I received a successful outcome and I am grateful for Daniel's unwavering expertise and knowledge of the courts, the law and the process.

My wife and I had spent thousands of dollars with a previous attorney and there was no end in sight. Daniel was introduced to us by a local public defender. My step sons father was filling countless law suits against us and we could no longer afford the Yale/Stanford attorney who had made zero progr...ess in 3 years. Daniel came in at a much more affordable rate and wrapped the case up in a years’ time. I was very impressed with his ability to negotiate and cut through all the bull that we had experienced in the past. Daniel saved us. Thank you for all your help.
