Mrs. Birnbaum is the attorney you need when going through a divorce or custody dispute. Mrs. Birnbaum is not only an intelligent woman, but she is kind, compassionate, reasonable, understanding, and dedicated to proving the right result. I highly recommend Mrs. Birnbaum for all family law matters..
