Top Family Law

Getting a divorce after 30 years is the most devastating experience to any family. After 15 months of being represented by Dishon & Block I am convinced I made the best choice. Aaron Dishon listened attentively to my situation and organized the best team for my case. He helped me evaluate first all o...f my critical decisions. He demonstrated the highest ethics when he would remind me that a divorce is difficult on both sides. His extensive experience gives him quickly a clear picture of a plan when we had an obstacle. Marc Garelick is a perfectionist and has an unbelievable patience whenever he would explain to me his wealth of information. Marc understood it's difficult for me to believe in any words of hope. But, he continually repeated kind words of hope and support. Leea Summervelle is very professional and detailed oriented. The whole staff was always available to talk with me and eager to help. My questions were answered Via Emails within 15 minutes. They have given me the strength to survive the biggest loss anyone can ever face “his Family”. I am grateful for their sincere concerns and hard work. I am confident Aaron and his team got me the best settlement.

Aaron Dishon Family Law Attorney

Amazing Lawyer

Aaron Dishon demonstrates a high level of knowledge, talent and professionalism in his field of law. They gave me legal options I didn't even know existed. I was in an abusive relationship for many years and was ready to take measures to dissolve my marriage. Aaron came highly recommended to me by se...veral others and it is now apparent to me why he is so well respected in the legal world. His staff is professional, courteous and Aaron has exceeded my expectations in representing me. Dishon and Block goes above and beyond and truly cares about their client!

A GSD Lawyer!

Aaron Dishon had represented me in my child support dissolution challenged by my ex-wife. He was my third attorney to finally get it right with a G.S.D. - Get Stuff Done approach and attitude that was able to save me thousands of unjust monthly child support. His office staff was incredibly professio...nal and responsive on any and all requests, communications and inquiries. Aaron's ability to be strategic and factual with reference to the law was superb. His knowledge and reference to case history is strong and assisted us in planning our case that ultimately won a fair and equitable resolution. Aaron was not afraid to engage when needed and immediately act on tactics to win. On a personal note Aaron was personable, understanding and was finally the attorney whom gave me the confidence I needed as a father to be able to fight for what was right instead of the typical "father against all odds" scenario that many attorneys will just want you to accept. Thank you Aaron for seeing this through fruition , being my legal counsel and advisor through the toughest time of my life!
