Layla thank you also for all the back up work you do!!

I cannot recommend Matthew Palmer and his team highly enough. Throughout my trust case, they provided an incredible amount of guidance, support, and professionalism every step of the way. What could have been an overwhelming experience was made so much easier because of their knowledge, patience, and... genuine care. Matthew Palmer, along with Kestlyn and Aveline, went above and beyond to answer my questions, explain the process clearly, and help me navigate a difficult situation. They were also mindful of my financial concerns and did everything they could to help, which meant more to me than words can express. The entire office has such a welcoming and comforting atmosphere. Even the hypoallergenic office pets helped make visits feel less stressful and more relaxed. The excellent espresso coffee was a wonderful touch and made me feel right at home. If you’re looking for an attorney and team who truly care about their clients, treat you with respect, and provide outstanding legal guidance, I highly recommend Matthew Palmer, Kestlyn, Aveline, and everyone at the office. They made a challenging time much easier, and I am incredibly grateful for all of their help.

* Highly recommend Layla Zad *

I knew my divorce was going to be contested and complicated. Before I filed, I did quite a bit of research and interviewed multiple attorneys. From the initial consultation, I could tell Layla was the one to retain. From the filing of the first papers to receipt of the Divorce Decree, Layla and... her team provided timely advice and measured responses. In court, Layla was always prepared, confidant and efficiently rebutted opposition. In the end, I am more than satisfied with both the outcome of my case and the rest of the Palmer Rodak team. I highly recommend the firm!

Layla is amazing!

I was extremely worried because my ex is military and didn’t want to do ANY leg work regarding filing. Layla did in a few months what other lawyers told me might take years. She explained everything every step of the way and was extremely knowledgeable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I am so happy I could cry. I ...honestly never thought I would be able to navigate the divorce process and keep my sanity. So gray for her!!!!

Meg- a happy mother

Layla is an exceptional attorney—expert, professional, and deeply dedicated to her clients. From the moment I hired her, I knew I had made the right choice. Layla’s intelligence and clarity are second to none. Not only does she masterfully advocate for her clients, but she also ensures that they are ...actively involved in developing strategies, providing both a clear voice and guidance in challenging situations. Layla’s knowledge of the law is comprehensive, and her work ethic is undeniable. She fought tirelessly on my behalf, and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. I’m truly thankful for her dedication and would recommend her to anyone in need of an outstanding attorney.

Divorce Mediation

We engaged Palmer Rodak & Associates to mediate our divorce. We were able to come to an agreement in one full day of mediation (about as good as one could hope for). I think that Mathew and Layla did a solid job w/ that part. However, what would follow that agreement was much harder than I antici...pated. The real rock stars here are the paralegals that help you to the finish line. Especially Ashley who guided us through the cumbersome process, dealing with the courts (to save me time), and quickly responding to inquiries and (only) escalating when necessary (for cost savings), etc. I would recommend Palmer Rodak & Associates for your mediation needs.
