My Familty Law matter is unfortunately extremely complicated. There is a history of abuse, children with developmental diagnoses, and a significant disparity of income which my ex has used to perpetuate abuse through the Family Court system. In the 3 years since our divorce was finalized, I've retain...ed multiple attorneys and had to represent myself at times when it came down to choosing between feeding our kids and paying for an attorney. My previous counsel was not fighting very hard for my case or for the kids and after a really poor representation at a hearing, I sought new counsel. I have been in Court a few dozen times and seen firsthand how the attorneys at Palmer Rodak & Associates zealously fight for their clients. I wish I didn't need an attorney, but given the propensity for abuse through the legal system, I need someone strong and knowledgeable on my side. For the first time in 3 years, I've finally gotten an award for attorney fees thanks to Matthew and his team. (Enforcement of Orders is another issue, but it's progress.) The way these matters affect our kids is significant. My case is unique and not an easy one, partly due to opposing counsel and the way my ex is directing his side of the case. He has no issue lying under Oath, filing false allegations, and neglecting to follow Court Orders. Having Matthew on my side, I can confidently stand in the Courtroom and know that I have a voice. I've seen the respect he and his attorneys command among the Judge and the other attorneys in the room. My case isn't over yet, but we are hopeful it will come to a close here in the next few months and I'm thankful for the work being done each step of the way. My case file is several thousand pages at this point. Matthew knows the details inside and out. He has diligently argued on issues that happened in the case prior to him coming on my case with the same accuracy as if he'd been my attorney all along. That's not a skill that I've seen many other attorneys master.

I felt through the entire journey that I was in good hands as we navigated my divorce. It was a very difficult time for me, but Matthew and his team were a glimmer of hope, a little oasis that gave me comfort. He is smart and when the moments presented themselves, his responses were always right on t...arget. I am grateful to Palmer Rodak & Associates for their experience, expertise, and support through a time in my life filled with many trepidations and challenges... Michael Raye

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.
