excellent representation

Stephen Bedor represented me in a high conflict divorce and custody fight. Mr. Bedor was my second attorney after my first attorney went on maternity leave. I wish Stephen had been my attorney from the beginning. He really stood up for me. Stephen showed strong moral values and really cared about the... best interest of me and my children. He was very honest and up front with me while helping me see the reality of my situation. He aggressively pursued assets my husband tried to hide. His strong attention to detail led him to catch my husband making false statements at trial. He also was an excellent life coach, setting me up with a wonderful vocational expert to assist me in getting into the career path I need to support my family after being a stay at home mother. He helped me get the support I needed to set me up for financial independence. I am eternally grateful for the assistance Stephen gave me and I would highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce or custody battle.

Worth Every Penny

Stephen Bedor represented me in a highly contested divorce and restraining order case. I just wanted to take the time to tell anyone who is interested in using Mr. Bedor how happy I am with the outcome of everything. I got pretty much exactly what I wanted the day I walked into his office. I have... Mr. Bedor to thank. Mr. Bedor was able to have the restraining order dismissed after a two day hearing. In the divorce he obtained the time I wanted with the children. I knew I would be paying spousal support and Mr. Bedor negotiated a very favorable settlement on this issue. I had substantial and complicated assets to deal with. Mr. Bedor obtained a very favorable financial settlement . He did so without being nasty and while preserving a working relationship between myself and my ex-wife. I have dealt with lawyers before on a variety of issues. Mr. Bedor is the best lawyer I've ever encountered. Mr. Bedor is a truly great attorney and he should be proud of what he accomplished in my case. He deserve every penny of what I paid him.

Child Custody/Parenting Time Modification

According to other attorneys, a complete change in sole-custody is almost unheard of, making my case a lost cause but to Mr. Bedor it was a challenge he was eager to take on. I came to Mr. Bedor wanting to gain sole-custody of my two sons whom my ex-wife had sole-custody of for the previous five year...s while I was out of state for the majority of the time serving in the military. He was very honest with me about what the possible outcomes of each of my desires were, and expressed his professional opinion in a respectful manner. He was very knowledgeable about the detailed process my case had to go through, and was very prompt and firm when responding with the opposing party. He and his staff knew my case very thoroughly and kept in close contact to keep me up to date with each detail. Not only did Mr. Bedor win my case, but he granted my sons their child hood and a hopeful future. Mr. Bedors efforts, simply put, were the miracle that an unpromising situation and innocent children needed. Two years later, I felt the judgment needed to be changed again in the best interest of my sons, and that contempt issues needed to be addressed. Without hesitation I returned to Mr. Bedor for his assistance. Again, he was honest about the possible outcomes of each issue, and immediately started drafting paperwork to start the legal process. Not to my surprise, Mr. Bedor was a true professional both pre-trial and during my trial. He expressed both my concerns and my sons best interests very accurately and did not let the opposing counsel manipulate or construe my case. Yet again Mr. Bedor brought victory to myself and my sons case. The level of expertise Mr. Bedor can offer to your situation, and the results he can get for you and your child/ren is priceless! I have recommended him and will continue to recommend Mr. Bedor in every legal matter both large and small.
