I would recommend Halpern Law firm to anyone

Due to the fact that my husband and I were expecting our first child when the divorce was initiated, the process was complicated and wrought with emotion. Not only did Daniel Halpern handle my case with promptness and extreme efficiency, he was also sensitive to anguish that I was experiencing at the... time. Each request that I made of Scott was executed to exacting standards. Never once did I have to wait for a response, nor did I ever have any question that was not answered fully and in a way that I clearly understood. His billing was clear and fair. I feel that without Mr. Halpern and his team on my case I could have never gotten the settlement that allowed me to spend the first three years with my daughter. I think of Daniel as one of the people who made what was a terrible situation better by being available and attentive to my needs as his client. I would recommend Daniel Halpern and his staff to anyone who has decided to end their marriage. Four years later I still have Scott on retainer, and he still provides me and my daughter with the legal protection we need to conduct our lives in peace. Visit his website http://halpernlegal.com and schedule a free consultation. You won't be disappointed! Thank you again, Mr. Halpern.

Stay away from this lawyer

He kept me in the dark for the entire case. He told me not to worry at all, he will take care of everything. He went to the court without me, got new date of hearing and never informed me. My ex got ex-party divorce. I came to know I am officially divorced one year later. He allowed the house get sol...d. I objected the sale of the house and was waiting for his response. He neither responded to my email nor to the opposite counsel. He was inattentive and disrespectful to the client. Because of his failure of submitting paper correctly and promptly, I was sanctioned. He is a lair!!!!!!!! His stuffs are also incompetent and liar! He is incompetent, irresponsible, does not keep the client informed on the important date, he will call the client the day before the hearing and ask to get the information. He will submit incomplete documents without thoroughly understanding it. Because of his irresponsible action, I lost financially as well as emotionally. His action negatively impacted me in the court system. He sits on the case. Does not take any action, hence it is cost effective. But if you have child, and other side have competent litigant, STAY AWAY FROM HIM! He will sink you financially. He may not take your money, you will end up paying other party for his misconduct as well as you will lose what could be yours!!!!!!!!!!!
