Getting Divorced? Don't hesitate, hire Hannah.

I was represented by Hannah Gurewitz from Sophia Palmer Law Group during my divorce, and highly recommend her. Hannah struck the perfect balance: compassionate yet direct, amicable but no pushover, efficient yet always explaining key details.. and she gets results. It should be noted that my case ...was stacked against me, yet we still came out on top. After 26 years of marriage, as the primary provider, my ex sought lifetime spousal maintenance and refused to contribute any of her income to our household bills or a temporary children support agreement. Hannah expertly guided me through every stage of the process. She was also far more organized and prepared than opposing counsel, so much so that my ex eventually replaced her lawyer to try to keep up. In court Hannah, achieved the result I wanted most: the earliest possible end to spousal maintenance so we could both go our own ways. In another win, although the judge ordered me to pay my ex’s legal fees, the amount was capped at what I paid Hannah: over $20K less than my ex’s lawyer’s bill. I’m deeply grateful for everything Hannah did for me and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled, caring, and incredibly effective divorce attorney.

Exceptional Lawyer — Highly Recommend!

Exceptional Lawyer — Highly Recommend! Hannah and her team were absolutely exceptional! Hannah was always available when I needed her, sharp and on point with every detail, and gave me so much confidence throughout my case. Her expertise and dedication helped me achieve exactly what I wanted. I co...uldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you for helping my son and I. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and delivers results — hire her!

Excellent representation

I cannot recommend Hannah Gurewitz highly enough. From the very beginning, she demonstrated excellent knowledge and dedication to my case. Hannah took the time to explain every step of the process in a simple way, ensuring I understood my options and what to expect. She, and her assistant Kristen alw...ays responded swiftly to my questions, even when she is busy in a mediation or in court, she would let me know that she received my email or massage and that she will get back to me once she is done, sometimes after office regular hours. Hannah was committed, leaving no detail overlooked. She understood the stress that I had and knew how to deal with it. Thanks to Hannah’s hard work, my case was resolved successfully. I will definitely turn to her for any legal need in the future.

Trusted and expert guidance, not simply an opinion

I will attempt to make this clear and concise. Hannah delivered wise counsel from the very beginning, and prudent counsel where necessary. Not only was she honest and transparent from the beginning, she continued to earn my trust and respect as WE moved forward with our legal matter. Hannah was not ...only cordial, she listened, she actually heard me as a client. Not only that she understood and offered expert and strategic guidance on the handling of our case, she never once treated me as her source of income as some lawyers might do. As her client I felt like she gave me equal respect and did not try to assert dominance or take over control and dismiss my own thoughts on matters. Hire Hannah Gurewitz, she is a formidable advocate and delivers a fierce argument in the courtroom. You won’t regret it even if the outcome YOU want isn’t achieved. Read her bio, it’s true and stunningly accurate.
