Direct, compassionate , never gives up

I got more than I expected meeting Ariella. She was understanding, understood my budget and my very dynamic situation. She was always available when I needed her, which at times was often and urgent. She is aware of when to push and when to hold back. Her personality and attitude make the world ...of difference when being faced with the hardest thing I have ever gone through . Since this was my second lawyer for separation, I can attest that I got more than I ever would have with my previous lawyer .

Exceptional Lawyer

I've known Ariella for several years, and I can honestly say that she is one of the most hard-working, honest people i've ever met. She also has incredible insight into the legal process and strategies involved in family law. I wasn't able to use her as my primary lawyer due to the distance to my ...location, but she's consulted with me, and been an invaluable resource. My divorce is very complicated and she's helped me navigate through some of the more complex issues. I would strongly recommend her for any type of family law.

First Steps

I sought Ms. Wagonfeld's advice and guidance when considering filing for divorce. She was understanding of my situation and hesitation. She did not make me feel judged while I explained my situation. She helped me understand my options and the benefits of each. She is friendly and knowledgeable. I ...highly recommend her.

Ari was very responsive and helpful!

I consulted with Ari who proceeded to give me well researched advice on my situation. She was responsive, kind and thorough and very knowledgeable. I can tell she would represent my family and I like her own!

My son

Ariella was professional I was not just a pay check to her. She genuinely cared about what I was going through. Most lawyers will treat you like a pay check. She is good at what she does, and didn't make me feel like I was just a client.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
