Daniel Josef Paletz

I have been going through a very difficult divorce after 29-years of marriage and six children. My first attorney was not performing at an acceptable standard. I interviewed nearly ten attorneys and was referred to Daniel Paletz of Kermisch & Paletz. After meeting Daniel, I was pleasantly impressed b...y his vast education, intellect, tenacity, and confidence, I was instantly convinced he was the best choice to represent me. Daniel has accomplished more in the brief time we have worked together than my previous attorney in nearly a year. I wasn’t looking for the least expensive attorney because I had a lot at stake, nor was I able or willing to pay the exorbitant fees that other attorneys were quoting. Daniel, Sarah and their team have compassionately treated me like a friend and taken pride in getting me the best result, all for a very reasonable fee. If I could give 10-stars, I would. I feel so much gratitude for Daniel and Sarah that I will never be able to reciprocate to them for helping me and making this process far less stressful. I am happy to take calls from anyone interested in knowing why Daniel, Sarah and their team are your very best choice for an experienced, successful divorce law firm. The firm will provide you with my cell number.

December 1, 2016 will go down in my personal history as my day of freedom and redemption. I was involved in a legal challenge for over 15 years with many different attorneys being unsuccessful at making it end, costing me thousands of dollars. The first time my opponent experienced Mr. Paletz in act...ion the case was settled. The entire office's professionalism, care, concern, and humanity brought Faith back to me in the legal system. I cannot thank this legal team enough for the kindness, compassion, and expertise they brought to me and my family. I have immense gratitude, and for the first time since my divorce, I had a year free of legal burden that has haunted me for years. My life has begun anew. Do not go any further if you are seeking an attorney to represent you. He is the best of the best.

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!

I usually don't write reviews, but in this case I want to make sure I really help out others who are diligently looking for a faithful, honest and a decent Lawyer. My experience with Daniel was totally opposite to what you would look for/hope for in a lawyer. He along with his staff is VERY INCOMPETE...NT! First, he promised to me that he will be in the court on the date of the court, so listen this; he called me like 10 min before the hearing that he will not be there as there is another urgent case that’s needed his attention. How preposterous is that? Second, he tells me that his assistant, who also is a fresh graduate out of college, will be able to handle my case. She was a total mess and couldn’t handle it. On top of that his assistant was billing me like crazy that only after I warned Daniel that I will take him to court, he pulled the amount out of my invoice. Last, I found him very in competent that he couldn't get a single judgment in my favor, instead tried to rationalize with me. Not even a good visitation rights. He was just so incompetent that he couldn't advise me on the best possible options for me. I ended up firing him and hired a NEW lawyer. You get what you paid for. Ask yourself why an attorney would have a low hourly fee compared to any other good attorney in the Market. If still you want to hire this cheapo, then go ahead. But you have been warned! I am glad I fired him early in my case. Good Luck!

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.
