Certainly, here's a sample review that highlights a specific attorney:
"I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Natalya Kalinovskiy at Gale, Angelo, Johnson and Patrick P.C. law firm during my divorce, and I cannot recommend him enough. She was knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate throughout the entire process.
Ms. Natalya Kalinovskiy took the time to explain all of my legal options and answer any questions I had, and she made sure I felt informed and supported every step of the way. She was always accessible and responsive to my concerns, which was especially important to me during such a difficult time.
I was impressed by her attention to detail and her ability to negotiate a fair settlement on my behalf. Her expertise and experience were evident, and I felt like I was in good hands from start to finish.
Overall, I would highly recommend Natalya Kalinovskiy and Gale, Angele, Johnson and Patrick P.C. to anyone in need of legal assistance for a divorce or family law matter. I am grateful for her help and expertise during a challenging time in my life."
Since family court had wonderful self-help workshops, I was confident I could handle this and filed for my divorce as pro per. At first, I was able to deal with discovery and court responses but then the case took a downward turn. I was getting overwhelmed with never-ending discovery and motions, false accusations and threats of sanctions/attorney fees. I was stressed and fearful of getting my mail or looking at my e-mails. Opposing counsel set the case for a long, expensive trial and refused to negotiate with me. I knew I could no longer handle this by myself but knowing many attorneys shy away from cases this far along, I was afraid I was too late in getting legal help. I phoned GAJP and from the very first phone call felt a huge relief. They reassured me that I did nothing wrong and that many pro per litigants get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of paperwork and/or the possibility of being taken advantage of due to limited legal knowledge. Natalya quickly assessed the situation and her calm confident legal proficiency was just what I needed. Lauren and Natalya put their legal expertise to work and I always felt they genuinely cared about helping me. I cannot thank them enough because we were able to reach a settlement instead of an expensive trial. They were very organized and conscientious of my financial limits – they worked on solutions to keep costs down. Thanks also to Nicole, Sara, Brittany and others behind the scene for their tireless work yet always having a minute to answer my questions or concerns. They are an excellent team and I am so grateful to have found them.

Ready to jump in without skipping a beat
Natalya had to sub in for my attorney on 3 occasions on short notice, and in all 3 she was so on point I forgot so wasn't my regular attorney. She can read a room, including the other party and the judge, incredibly well. Knows exactly when to object, and when to just let the other party talk, and talk, and talk... I was very impressed with her in court. But that isn't the reason why I took the time to go out of my way to write this review.
The morning before court one day the other party showed up with a new attorney and a 13 page document full of entirely false, already litigated, and easily disprovable claims and statements. We had a few days to submit our response, and my regular attorney was unavailable. To address each line of the document, I probably sent 30 pages worth of emails, and twice as much supporting documentation. The day before the deadline I'm told she locked herself in a board room and spent the entire day going over everything line by line and drafting our response. The response was so definitive and damning for the other party, I'm convinced it is what lead to us ultimately settling the case outside of court.
She's a rockstar. That's all I can say.
