"I endorse this lawyer. I recently had Mr. Kaufman on a divorce case involving child custody issues where the parties were highly emotional and angry with each other. Once the parties and counsel were all sitting together in an effort to settle the pending issues, I found Mr. Kaufman to be very personable and focused on helping the parties to reach a resolution that made sense. His efforts in that regard were commendable."
