Non ethical Lawyer

Worst attorney to hire. Did not file any interrogatories, request for child support. Nothing. Do you want to lose a case? Want to waste your money? Hire Alan Solomon.

Absolute DOG

The consummate professional Mr. Solomon is an absolute dog in court. I've used him for several issues around the same case. He was instrumental in getting the settlement we wanted. In court he's proven to be mentally agile, unrelenting in cross examination, and a top tier strategist. His relationship... with clients is second to none. He cares about a client, but does his absolute best to remain objective to keep the client informed. I wish I had him for when I was first divorced instead of trying to fix the aftermath. I will be a repeat customer for years. I will gladly pay these lawyer bills.

Fantastic attorney!

Alan was outstanding. I came to him through a referral after being represented by another firm that just wanted to bill me but not get any movement on the case. Alan got right on my case, understood my needs, my requests, and brought us to resolution within 3 months after a year of fighting. I couldn...'t recommend him more!

Fast on his feet

Alan is a solid lawyer who shines in the court room. He’s fast on his feet, is a creative arbiter, and genuinely seems to enjoy the intellectual debate. Throughout the pre-trial period, he is supportive, readily available, and his affable personality makes going through a tough ordeal just a littl...e bit easier. While he maintains regular office hours, his brain doesn’t shut off. He thinks about - and more importantly -cares about your case so much - he’s called me as late as 10pm to discuss strategy. That’s how much he invests! But beyond that, the guy is a family man himself. He understands the dynamics of different situations, and has the empathy to adapt. He will fight for your cause, but not blindly. He takes time to get to know you. He actually seems to care! Which anyone who has dealt with lawyers knows is rare! He’s a stand-up guy with a good heart, a big brain, and will give 100% of himself to your case. Highly recommend.

Avoid

Mr. Solomon is unprofessional and incompetent. Do not hire him. He is rude and ineffective. He is dishonest. He ignores client instructions. Poor strategist. One hopes that his best days are merely behind him, but I think it is more likely than not that he has always been a terrible attorney.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Nov 30

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Alan Solomon for many years. Although my connection with him has been primarily in serious criminal cases and a probate case, I know of his work on domestic relations cases as well. I have handled complicated cases with him, and have also spoken at length with him about other cases. More important, I have watched his work in court. I think Alan is not only one of the smartest lawyers I know, he is also amazingly quick-witted. He can absorb the salient facts and discover the issues and get up to full speed on a case while most other attorneys are still getting their legal pads out of their briefcases. He sees and understands the whole picture with lightening-like speed. I have discussed cases and strategy on cases with him, and have always found his opinions to be insightful and right on point. He is able to cut through the fluff and hone in on the heart of the issue quicker than most people I have ever known. I would highly recommend him for any type of legal case."
