t.d.

Two of my longtime friends/patients, both attorneys, referred me to Ellen Politano because their association with both parties involved in my divorce prevented them from representing me. Knowing me and my situation well, they felt it would be beneficial for me to be represented by a woman who had bo...th strength and compassion, and that Ms. Politano would be a good match, and handle my case well. Though very busy at the time, Ms. Politano took me on as her client, at my attorney friends’ request. This was a non-melodious, gut-wrenching, rather drawn-out situation, following a long marriage, with complex property division issues. Ms. Politano provided legal expertise with endless strong positive energy, efficiency and structure, while being sympathetic to my situation and feelings, with realistic advice and guidance—a remarkable feat, given my sensitivity and disposition. Working closely together, and through mediation, we achieved a favorable outcome most had not felt was possible in my scenario. A hard-working dedicated professional and very actively involved single parent, who also makes time to provide assistance to those in need, attorney Ellen Politano deserves the highest recommendation possible. t.d.
