Very Efficient

I hired Roberta in April of 2015, and my divorce was finalized by August of the same year. And I paid less than half of what my ex did for her attorney. Needless to say, I highly recommend her.

Roberta Madow & Damon Canfield - Weak Representation

Very large ego's in this firm. Roberta & her Sr. Partner Damon Canfield spent a considerable amount of my time & money trying to manage my expectations in a divorce case instead of advocating for me. After taking over $20,000 in legal fees they withdrew representation because they seemingly didn't ...want to expend the effort preparing for trial. They both struggled mightily dealing with opposing counsel and both specifically told me they did not like dealing with opposing counsel because they viewed her as a weak attorney. I did not have a good experience with Roberta or Damon! I subsequently hired another attorney that had my case settled through mediation within 2 months for 29% less maintenance than Roberta & Damon predicted I would. I reached out to Sr. Partner Damon Canfield for a refund on 1/2 my fees but he chose not to respond.

Quick and efficient

My divorce was a complete mess and to make matters worse, our first attorney quit the firm. This left Roberta with a lot of extra work on her hands, and she still completed my case in a quick and efficient manner.

Highly Recommend

I truly can't thank Roberta enough for being diligent, skilled, trustworthy, honest, articulate and professional. My case was extremely difficult and long. Any questions or concerns I had, Roberta and her staff were always quick to respond and extremely helpful in understanding certain statues that p...ertained to my case. Also, her staff is amazing-always received excellent help and support. I highly recommend Roberta and her law firm for any and all family law situations.
