Matthew Eric Palmer

Divorce, Child Custody, Abuse, finally finding the courage to speak out and stand up for myself this year has been one of the hardest, traumatizing, life changing decisions I've been through. Knowing who my ex is I knew I couldn't do it alone so I started the process of trying to find a lawyer that w...ould not only help me but care enough to truly listen to my concerns and needs for both me and my child. Palmer Rodak & Associates from the first call has turned out to be just that. Matthew and his whole team not just the lawyers, Sasha with her warm welcomes and genuine support, Mary with her sincere approach to every matter, and Sidney who's been my rock in more ways than she'll ever know. This is a team that you can tell not only supports their clients but each other. You feel the family environment. To some that may not mean much, but for me being in a state away from all of my family and friends it ended up being exactly what I needed. Matthew, Sidney and everyone at this office stepped in ready to fight for me as if it were their own lives they were fighting for. I've lost so much too much to type out but the one thing I haven't lost is my hope. I've watched Matthew and his team fight this battle for me even when I felt like I couldn't . I've watched them become my Village and couldn't begin to thank them enough for keeping my lifted in what felt like my lowest days. Their help has helped me slowly get my life, my peace, and myself back. So I gladly write this review and hope anyone reading this understands you're not just hiring a lawyer... you'll be hiring a Village ; all ready to help do their part to help every way that they possibly can. Thank you All for making my case... yours.

I cannot say enough good things about Matthew and this law firm. Each person I interacted with was responsive, intelligent, thoughtful, and professional. Matthew worked very hard to avoid additional litigation, find a solution that minimized time and court involvement. In the end Matthew went to batt...le for me. I absolutely recommend.

A few bumps in the road but this office got the job done. No you will not always get to speak to the attorneys directly which in any professional setting you could understand but they have a really good team and staff on they’re hands the paralegals and admin do a great job im very please with the ou...tcome and now I can finally breath and celebrate my divorce! I’m very happy I stuck it out to the end with this office.

First of all, I don't even know where to begin because my entire divorce and custody process was long and painful. I am very grateful for Matthew and Layla for helping me through this difficult time in my life, which felt like would never come to an end. It finally has, and the outcome is what was ex...pected. Full of regret and self-destruction, my ex-husband has resorted to his old ways, past addictions and is thankfully, now getting the help that he always needed to get better. This all after being ripped apart and putting me on a witch stand trial by his attorneys. Karma is indeed a B**th. Things are exactly how I want them to be. I cannot begin to tell you how professional and calm Palmer Rodak & Associates were with the opposing side. The opposing side were pit bulls with a high price tag. They were extremely unprofessional, and had a tacky approach. They poked and taunted me all the time even down to their staff. Rest assured that Matthew and Layla did everything in their power to help. At trial, they were quick thinking and sharp. They defended me to the very bitter end. Kept me calm through the entire process. I now have full custody of my children again. You never think that these sort of things could happen to you and when it does, you do not know how to react and what to do. It is very hard. I am very pleased with how professional and ethical they were handling my case. I know judges appreciate such professionalism as well. It serves one well to have attorneys like Matthew and Layla who you can confide in, tell everything to (literally), know that they listen to you and give you the correct advice. You can trust them with your life! Thank you guys so much for all your hard work on my case. I am very grateful. Also, FYI, trust that they will not overcharge you. Their billing rates are reasonable as compared to other places that take full advantage of billing for everything. I don't think I paid enough. All the emails and phone calls of me venting, frustrated and crying through the entire process, and just things that would inadvertently come up with the ex and the children. I wasn't charged for that stuff. Keep in mind that they are extremely busy attorneys. While they usually won't respond to the "lists" of emails, know that they will always find the time to read your emails and have staff respond accordingly. Their staff are welcoming, patient and responsive. And know whether the attorneys respond to your emails, or not, trust that they read ALL of them. They know everything that is going on with you and your case when you communicate with them. They meet with you and talk to you when they can. They let you know that you are not alone. Matthew and Layla, can't tell you how much it means to me all the positive affirmations and advice.
