Neil Michael Edwin Forester

I researched extensively to find a lawyer who was not only smart (Neil was an Anthony M. Kennedy Fellow) but also unwilling to take anything but the high road. I also wanted an attorney who would listen to my concerns, complaints, and even demands, but still keep me on the high road as well. In spi...te of many personal attacks on me and even on Neil by my ex-husband and his lawyer, Neil continued to focus on issues and avoid the low ground that so many divorce cases and custody cases can travel. In my case, I had an ex who after not paying his full child support for six years and owing over $40,000, decided to take me to court to dispute the arrears and get more custody. Yes, that sounds ridiculous and that is exactly the right word to explain the proceedings that took 6 months due to my ex continually making claims and filings that prolonged the inevitable. Throughout the entire 6 months there were many times I was ready to either throw in the towel, or go for the jugular. In each case Neil clearly laid out the correct course of action and stuck to it. Not only did he keep me on the right track, Neil kept himself on the moral high ground. My ex and his attorney resulted to personal attacks on Neil in their court filings, but Neil refused to respond and stayed on point. I believe his approach saved me from getting into an even longer battle of he said/she said. He was fair in his billing, honest in his approach with me and my ex, and clearly experienced with the courts and family law. I highly recommend Neil!!

I have enjoyed working with Neil.I had a very difficult divorce case and my wife's attorney did everything possible to fuel the flames. Neil was able to help me resolve many custody and support issues in a collaborative fashion to minimize the costs and obtain a quick resolution. I have a lot of res...pect for Neil and his office staff - Dorinda his paralegal as well as Kali. I appreciate Neil's approach --he's very calm mannered reasonable and tries to discuss the risks and benefits of different options. At the same time he is realistic and is very efficient overall in getting back to you. Overall I highly recommend him as an attorney.

Neil and his team were amazing helping me through my divorce proceedings this year! He and his staff were professional, kind, patient and supportive throughout the process. They made a very difficult time more bearable with their compassion, attention to detail and responsiveness. I was always able... to get a hold of someone via phone or email and they were more than happy to answer all my questions along the way. I would recommend them to anyone. These guys are awesome and they were worth every cent!

Neil helped me out - I was in a really tough situation and very concerned about my child's well-being. He was honest and worked with me financially. You could see that he cared about the well-being of my child and he did not rush me through the meeting, I felt like i mattered to him. I would highly... recommend Neil.
