Beyond blessed….
I don’t even know where to start besides this review is long overdue. I don’t typically write reviews but I’m so beyond blessed that I need to express the gratitude i have for Mr.Prager. I hired Mr.Prager for my custody case that was turning my world upside down. He’s extremely compassionate, attentive, and professional. His demeanor in the courtroom and how he speaks is no match to other attorneys…losing is not an option for Mr.Prager. He was always available to speak anytime i needed and he made me feel calm and confident. I will forever be grateful, if you’re ever in need of a family attorney Mr.Prager is definitely your guy!

Child custody
I hired Prager Jones in July 2021 after I had a bad experience with another attorney back in 2020. The moment I spoke with Mr. Prager, I knew he was the right attorney for me; he immediately understood my situation and made me feel good about it. He listened to all my needs and every time we spoke he provided me with quality time. These times can be very stressful, but working with Prager Jones, I felt like I was in the right hands. I am very happy with the outcome of my case this time; I would recommend them to anybody out there, any penny was worth working with them!

Outstanding Attorney
I hired Mr. Pager on a difficult case. He walked me through everything step-by-step, and helped me understand what to expect. Mr. Prager was professional and easy to talk to. He helped me separate emotional from practical issues. I highly recommend Mr. Prager and his team.
