Beware!!

I agree 110% with the other ONE-STAR review. >They will talk a good game and follow through well with responses when it involves retention; they will be available to respond to questions to get you to hire Dimitry. They: Dimitry and his wife, Kristina, who is the “business manager.” >>They act li...ke they have compassion and creativity when it comes to solving divorce issues because they have gone through them themselves. But what I found is that they are close minded, jaded by their own past history and current step kid and coparent troubles, and the lack of compassion once hired shows. >>>NOT a “free consultation” as stated on the website. Once you retain this firm, if you don’t go through with the “strategy” advised by Dimitry, they will charge you for that “free consultation”. And mind you, his rate is TOO HIGH based on the services provided. There are plenty of attorneys out there that will charge much less and provide better quality work and services. For my case, the strategy advised was not able to be followed through with because the coparent I am going through issues with did not want to participate in it. To save money, I decided to ask my coparent directly if he would be willing to follow the strategy recommended by my lawyer, and he said no. Based on this, the consultation (no further legal services needed) should have been free, but Dimitry and his wife did not want to entertain it and did not stick to their word. They would rather have Dimitry get paid $465/hr to reach out to opposing counsel and my ex to incur costs (only to get a “no thank you” when asked to follow his strategy) - how CROOKED!! Instead, they would rather sip bottles of Dom and buy expensive clothing then help clients and unethically make money off of our troubles. BIG MISTAKE to go with them. As a hard-working person who has dealt with Customer Service for over 20 years in a compassionate and genuine way, I’m appalled by this experience. Keep shopping folks - this is your family and your livelihood at stake!! Best to you!

Wonderful

I don’t think I can put into words how grateful I am to Mr. Erudaitius. He went above and beyond the call of duty when representing me in a complex custody case. Even when things got tough and I felt like throwing in the towel, he never lost hope and fought for my rights with unwavering determination.... I feel incredibly lucky to have found him and I truly believe he’s one of the “good guys”. Not only is he a brilliant lawyer with a wealth of knowledge, but he’s also a genuinely caring individual who puts the clients first. I would recommend him to anyone searching for a top-notch attorney that knows how to get the job done with compassion and skill.

Get on Board or Find another Lawyer

Dimitry has been my family lawyer on 2 issues. One was a simple post judgement retirement issue that he took care of in short order. Although I could have easily taken care of that issue, I wanted to ensure he was able to deal with my second issue - a more complex custody issue and that we were a goo...d fit. When it came to strategy on the custody issue it was clear to me, he was not up to the task after I read a Declaration he wrote on my behalf (without first discussing it with me). Demitry initially talked a good game but sent me a nasty, rude, disrespectful and unprofessional email which apparently was supposed to urge me to “... get on board to his way of thinking or find another lawyer.” I found it extremely cowardly why he didn’t pick up the phone and discuss the issue in person rather than acting so immaturely. But when you look at how long he’s been licensed he is very green in complex family law as well as client management. Normally I like working with younger lawyers as they typically have imagination, collaborate with the client and has not been jaded by the judicial system. Demitry forgot who pays his bills. It won’t be me and like he said I’ll find another lawyer. Perhaps he should stick to personal injury.

I understand that you're feeling upset and frustrated with my recommendation to find another lawyer, and I'm sorry to hear that you also felt that I was rude. That is certainly not acceptable, and I apologize for any hurt or frustration this may have caused. It is important to me that all my clients feel heard and supported during their difficult matters. I want to assure you that my recommendations, and my communications, were made with your best interest in mind. Lawyer's have a professional obligation to provide the best possible representation for their clients, and sometimes that means recognizing when another lawyer might be better suited to handle your case. This would include personality conflicts that make it difficult for effective representation. It's also important that you can trust your lawyer's judgment and one who can provide the representation you feel you deserve. It is unfortunate you were unavailable when I initially called, I left a voicemail and will reiterate now that I would, and will, make time to speak to you if you so wish. I wish you the best.

Child Custody

He is the BEST attorney in my opinion! He was always straightforward when there were hard decisions to make, not scared to litigate, but also truly concerned with the best interest of my family and my kids. Nobody ever knows what the Judge is going to do, but Dimitry predicted everything to th...e tee. Everything he said was going to happen did. I trust with my family, and will always be my number one pick for my lawyer.
