Finally Solved My Dilemna!

Dru Horenstein is certainly an expert in her field. She was the fourth attorney I had contacted about my problem and she solved it! After my divorce, I had tried to remove my ex from all access to my pension through the Washington Teachers Retirement System. Dru was very patient in explaining what... others could not. Through several emails and a lengthy phone call, she put me at ease and helped me realize the facts of the survivorship. She helped me weigh the pros and cons of pursuing my case through the courts. She kindly told me not to "beat myself up" regaring the previous decisions I had made. I feel so much better now knowing the "real strory" behind my decision. I would recommend Dru to anyone who asked. I've already raved about her to several friends! She knows her stuff, is kind and very fast about getting back to clients!

Dru got me through.

Separating from my wife was one of the hardest things I've ever done. But I felt better with Dru at my side. She didn't judge me and provided competent representation every step of the way. I got a resolution that kept my kids in my life. After attending maybe 6 court appearances with Dru, I can ...tell you that even on her worst day she was better than most.

Court is a drag, but Dru got my orders enforced (and got them improved, too)

I first retained Dru Horenstein several years ago to obtain enforcement of parenting plan and child support orders that my ex had consistently ignored. My ex's attorney used every trick in the book to delay, confuse, and prolong the matter. Despite this, Dru got results that saved my residential... time and finances from a bitter antagonist (who repeatedly drew contempt judgments). Dru knows what counts in court filings and hearings and is skilled in organizing presentation materials that are focused and on point. She's a consummate professional who keeps me in the loop, answers my calls, and provides excellent counsel. I don't like to bring business to court but when I do, I trust Dru to take care of it.

Won important issues for me

Dru gave me great advice on child custody issues that were very important when my ex took me to court and we won in great part due to that advice and due to her knowledge of what the judge would find important in our declaration.
