This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Absolutely excellent lawyer, goes above and beyond!

Tabitha Brincat and her entire team did a phenomenal job for my stressful divorce/custody case. We worked together for 10 months and throughout the entire time I had nothing but the absolute best care! She is focused, friendly, incredibly competent, and knew every detail of my complicated case the wh...ole time. She is a great listener and really made me feel like we were a team in making decisions when that was appropriate. When we had to go to the court room she was calm and explained everything so well to me. It was a horrible and scary time for me and every single time I contacted her office someone was there to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and guide me with their knowledge. When we were in private mediation she stayed so calm and always knew what to say. I was very impressed how she remembered every detail of my complicated case even though she has other clients. I felt seen and heard throughout the whole process. Her entire team worked so well together and whoever I was working with was knowledgable, competent, kind, and patient. I would absolutely recommend Tabitha Brincat (and her team) to anyone that I know, especially if you are dealing with an aggressive ex husband. Also, her writing of documents and emails to opposing counsel was top notch. Beyond impressed and forever grateful that she was able to work so hard for my case and help me get a fair divorce in place.

Went above and beyond

Tabitha and her highly skilled team went out of their way to take care of every detail in my case. They are kind, respectful and very helpful. I cannot recommend her enough and will be forever grateful she was on my team throughout a stressful case. She is knowledgeable, considerate and thorough. She... caught things my ex and his lawyer were trying to sneak in and change without notifying us. Call and schedule a consult, her rates are very fair and she knows her stuff!

Highly Professional with Structured Client Ease Positive Results

Ms. Brincat orchestrated two difficult cases for my family. Both had good outcomes. Tabitha and team are well organized, prepared, and kept us well informed, with communication and flow chart to keep us up to speed and aware of any materials we needed to supply. Ms. Brincat is Family Law and a real a...sset.

Above all expectations

I don't write reviews to avoid being accountable to them however in this case there is a huge exception. Ms Brincat represented me in courts for three years. She is very committed, knowledgeable and honest person. I had a very complicated custody case that involve different elements including, not li...mited to, residency, international laws, refugee rights, asylum seekers, protection and multiple domestic and foreign courts involvements and judgments. I believe any other order legal firm will give up on my case because of the complexity, remotely located client and vast knowledge and expertise that is required for a such case. I think after multiple court hearings over the years Ms. Brincat managed to get us an exceptional ruling that is beyond our expectations. I highly recommend her services to everyone.

I would recommend Tabitha over and over again

I worked with Tabitha during my divorce, and then later asked her to represent me during the custody modification of my children. She gave very clear guidance on how to proceed, what to document, and how to handle every issue that came up. She always had my best interest in mind, but always remaine...d concerned about what was best for my children as well (even though they were being well represented by their own attorney). Ultimately we ended up settling at the last minute and avoided trial, which was not an easy task given the lack of cooperation by the the party. The outcome was absolutely the best one for my children. She was always responsive, knowledgeable, gave me realistic expectations and was very pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. I would eagerly recommend Tabitha to anyone who asks and would absolutely hire her again.
