Alan Scott Funk

I hired Alan on pure referral as someone to help me defend a child support modification filed from my former spouse. He asked me for information or details but then interrupt and be dismissive. He would only explain legal jargon with lots of prompting. He showed up late to a trial. We had a 1.5 h...our mediation to which nothing came from it. He was always on the defensive and never used the expensive research to help defend a position. He never wanted to meet in person as he works outside of the City. His manners are rude and demeaning. Due to time constraints with the trial date, I could not change lawyers but should have. In the end, he lost every trial, mediation and oral argument. I was charged for tons of prep work yet spent hours a day myself correcting his work and writing his briefs. He checked out on Fridays when all verdicts are decided and ultimately I walked away with the worst possible outcome. Another attorney had to step in at the end as he left the court order non enforceable. He lost to an unknown criminal law attorney that charges a fraction of what he does an hour. I can only guess the embarrassment this caused his firm. Save your money and find an attorney that wants to help you versus just have a billable client that he tells what to do.

I was a medical doctor in China. Alan Funk is my attorney for my family and divorce cases. I think good attorneys just like good doctors: they understand patients/clients' pain and think of their side of benefit and treat/help them with their maximum knowledge and skills. I came to Alan after having ...a bad experience with my previous attorney. Alan definitely is the one I should have hired from the beginning! I was really impressed that he is very sharp, smart, confident, considerate, knowledgeable and direct ( I would like to use all the good words I have ever known of the best attorney to describe him). He communicates with me efficiently and clearly. I would recommend Alan to anyone who needs a family law attorney. I also recommend his paralegal Dorene. She is a very warm and nice lady. She is also very professional and good at her work. I have confidence Alan and his team will help me with good and fair results of my cases.

I have a very high regard for Alan Funk. First and foremost is his strength of character: he always takes the high road/the ethical course and because he does, his clients have the best outcome. It is possible to have a clear conscience and restful sleep because Mr. Funk will do the right thing and... make sure the children involved will have what they need to grow into happy well-adjusted adults. Mr. Funk is caring, empathetic, brilliant and always poised and confident. He comes up with ingenious ideas and plans to overcome obstacles and opposition (often times his plans are better than those the therapists or GAL’s come up with). He’s always available to answer questions and to help with day-to-day concerns. He is an extraordinary and brilliant strategist. He reminds me of first rate, unsurpassed, virtuous attorneys that are only found in fiction--except this one is real. He has never let me down. If you think Mr. Funk's rates may be unattainable, think again. If Mr. Funk is retained, your money will be more than well spent. I previously spent more than twice the amount of money on an attorney that was careless and ineffective at best. Hiring Mr. Funk ensures that quality and effective representation will be received for a reasonable price. For his price, one does not get someone who only “knows the law;” instead someone is retained who makes a sincere effort, and has vision, integrity, courage understanding, power of articulation and profundity of character, but most importantly, gets results. Mr. Funk is priceless.

Alan is a wiz kid attorney and the complete package when it comes to zealous representation! I worked as a legal assistant at two other family law firms in the area, before becoming his client, and know for sure Alan is a cut above the rest, he is simply the best! When looking for a superior family l...awyer I wanted someone who not only had the wisdom of experience but also cutting-edge knowledge of case law and could make moves quickly. Alan was all that and more! Alan helped my whole family put our heads together and come up with a plan based on the best interest of my daughter and the results were levels above my expectations. We won our case! Alan was a complete blessing to have on our team and made the difference for my daughter's quality of life for years to come! Alan's paralegal Doreen is very efficient, warm and easy to work with, so Perfecto! We are now going through a similar custody issue with my step-daughter and immediately called up Alan Funk to handle our case, why would I EVER call anyone else? Thank you sooo much Alan!!!!
