Our saving Grace! Smarter than smart, kindness unsurpassed. Relentless and Brilliant.

Dina is the most amazing person first of all and the BEST attorney when you need help. My case has been to protect my grandson. It has gone on now for 2 years. I want to say my case is unusual. Usually it doesn't take this long. Dina, saw and headed off so many things to protect my grandson. NEVER GA...VE UP...not once did she stop fighting for us. Within these past two years I have had many ups and downs, however Dina never did, always the positive force driving me forward. Giving me honest expectations all the way. Not once did I ever look back over my shoulder. I didn't have too..Dina had our backs 100%. Our case was vital for the safety of a baby...what could be more moving than the safety and well-being of a little boy? When I tell you from my heart and soul, we wouldn't be where we are today if not for Dina. I have the great privilege to not only call her the FINEST attorney, but also trusted friend. Trust me you want her on your side..NOT against it! If not for Dina Mikulka God only knows what would have happened to my grandson. It is my honor and pleasure to write this about Dina. Thank you always Dina, YOU ARE THE BEST!

Experience, skill, and client focus in your time of need

Given the nature of our case, we were referred to Dina by another firm, who were booked solid at the time, but they were extremely comfortable in referring her to us. We are so thankful they did, as she was the right person for a very violent and turbulent situation at hand. We called her office a...nd she made the time for us to meet and consult on the matter at hand. Domestic violence issues are traumatic for the victim as well as the family members, especially when the victim and the family have no experience dealing with a stressful situation such as this Dina is highly intelligent, an excellent strategist, and extremely level-headed. She is not intimidated by anyone or any situation. Trust me, you need someone like that in your corner when facing the unknown. She took the time to get to know our family, our dynamics and was unbiased in her professional opinions and rationale. She is also well respected in the court; its processes and procedures. Its that integrity and character that she beings to the table in dealing with issues on your behalf. She works with fact, passion, and focus, while ensuring the clients best interests are at the forefront at all times. Her communication, follow up and her attention to detail are second to none. Her reputation precedes her; that of integrity and professionalism That was an added benefit we realized about her during this grueling process. We were in great hands with Dina Mikulka; I am confident the defendant came away with a harsh reality check after dealing with someone with her tremendous skill set and understanding of the law. If you are looking for someone who understands family law (all aspects), who can represents with your needs (and desired outcome) with the utmost integrity and focus – Dina Mikulka is your answer, without hesitation.

2nd to none representation from Dina Mikulka

When I needed attorney representation for a matrimonial matter out of my county, I asked a dear friend who is an esteemed, well respected attorney in my county for a recommendation. Without hesitation or pausing for one single second, she said "Dina Mikulka is the attorney you need to contact". Well,... the experience and expertise from Dina and the entire team at Sparta Family Law was certainly 2nd to none. From my initial phone call to the firm and speaking with Dina to my final, most favorable result in court in my divorce matter, she made it all seem almost painless. Dina was truly incredible both inside and outside the courtroom. She was absolutely brilliant and patient in her explanation of the law and was very clear on what I should and should not expect. Ms. Mikulka was also someone who listened and treated me as a person and not just a client she had to represent. I could not have been more pleased with the representation she provided for me. The rapport that she has with people, her colleagues, the judge etc, is exemplary. That, I believe, is what gave me the most favorable and best outcome that I could have hoped for. I understood that there was a chance of a much more unfavorable outcome, but Dina, with her confidence and many years of expertise in matrimonial disputes, made sure that that did not happen. From the start with my separation agreement, until the final judgement of divorce, she was very clear, concise and walked me through the entire process. Dina truly enjoys her job and it is certainly reflected in the way that she shows compassion and care for those that she represents. I am very pleased and grateful that she was recommended to me and that I chose her and Sparta Family Law to represent me in this matter. The diligence, experience, compassion and expertise from all those at this firm is nothing short of awesome. Dina Mikulka truly showed that she cared for this client and certainly helped me through some of the not so pleasant days. I would certainly recommend any family member or friend to retain her for any marital or family law matters. Dina is absolutely and excellent attorney.

Outstanding service with a personal touch

Dina is a very knowledgeable attorney and really took the time to understand my situation. She was always there when I needed advise about my situation. She was truly an advocate for me giving me guidance every step of the way and setting realistic expections. She is very professional, has excelle...nt written and presenation skills in court. She was very timely in meeting deadlines and responsive to requests. Dina's staff was also professional, excellent, and supportive. They were always willing to help when Dina was not available. I would highly recommend Dina to anyone needing help with Child Custody and Child Support matters.

HAPPY TO BE DIVORCED

DINA M MIKULKA is a true professional. From day one I unloaded a pile of issues on her from my divorce. These matters were unresolved by a previous incompetent attorney. Dina dove right in taking charge to explain our position with great ideas of her own. With a constant flow of emails and notices, ...I was kept well informed. I felt peace of mind in a yet already chaotic divorce. For the first time walking into court I felt confident that we would reach some resolution. She made a compelling defense pointing out key issues facing my divorce including my Autistic son and his long term care. I could see that her adversary often had the (deer looking into headlights) response. My attorney dictated and controlled the flow of my Marital Settlement Agreement. A fare and equitable resolution was reached with little to no damage felt by me. In the end she delivered exactly what she promised. Not only would I recommend her to my friends and family but in the event I ever need an attorney in the future she will be my only choice. She gets a triple AAA rating in my book!
