This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

First of all Graet personality and excellent LAWYER

If to be honest I was very nervous to hire a lawyer I have 3 little kids under age of 3 not really stable financially and newborn getting divorce it was overwhelming I start my case really knowing what I was doing but... end up having an interview with Uma Subardian she really didn’t bother about my ...financially stability she just wanted to help me she really cares about her clients. She took my case she even came for hearing and I was amazed seen her professionalism and very efficiency she really cares about you she will take care of you and will make it stress free for both sides and easy. I’m very blessed to have her as my Attorney.

I do not refer her to anyone

If you have a choice or could represent your case by yourself, I would like to do so instead of waste money to hire her. She spoke very nicely, but performance is questionable. I experience her missed in filling the response documents to the court before the court day. In contrast, she spent 2 hou...rs with me in the court computer room to type the related court documents and fill it after the trial. The poor response to the court document result me a big lost and charged me a lot of money. Think it over again before hiring her.

I urge everyone to view my all other outstanding and exemplary reviews from my clients and other attorneys. This review contains nothing but fabricated lies from an alleged defendant who wants to wiggle out of paying legal fees and costs. Unfortunately, response documents in this civil matter needed to be on hold until pending criminal matter involving this defendant is resolved for good cause. After the court hearing, when the Judge ordered me to prepare the 18 pages of court orders in the court itself, I complied with it in preparing same efficiently. While I was preparing the order, this person was holding his baby and enjoying his baby whom he had not seen for over a month. As a matter of fact, this person thanked me since he had an opportunity to spend time with his baby after a long gap of time. While cases are pending, this person failed to cooperate and communicate with me in his best interests, instead went on a long travel out of country to an inaccessible location. Truly, he seemed to lack honesty and integrity. I am blessed and thankful that he is not my client any more.

Truly meticulous and very sincere

Ms.Uma and her office was very thorough in her field of expertise and went out of her way to help me in my case. Found her to be truly committed and sincere to her client's interests. The way she stood committed to the case 24X7 was commendable. Legal nuances can be intimidating but she took great pa...ins to interpret it in layman terms for folks like me. Would recommend her to anyone who needs a true committed and sincere lawyer who kept her client's interest foremost in mind.

My end of divorce

Attorney Uma Subramanian is an excellent attorney. I retained her towards the end of my divorce but she handled my case as if she started it from the beginning. She does not wait long to let documents process a she is very helpful and specific.

Honest and helpful

Uma helped me get through an EXTREMELY messy divorce, without having to demean myself by resorting to the typical dirty tactics employed by most attorneys and shepherded me through with grace and dignity even though my ex-wife and her attorney tried every dirty quasi-legal trick(and some illegal ) in... the book.
