Patient and Understanding

A divorce is emotionally devastating, Ms. Trani prevented mine from being financially devastating as well. During my entire ordeal it was reassuring to have an attorney who was not only competent, but incredibly patient with me when I repeatedly called in a panic over new situations as they arose. M...y case was handled in a manner in which I never felt like "just another client." My case is settled, I have custody of my children, and I thank Ms.Trani for helping me rebuild my life.

She is very patient and explains everything so it's easy to understand

I am not very knowledgeable about child custody law. Mrs Trani sat down with me and explained each possible scenario and its probable outcome. She was able to answer my questions in a way that I could understand. I followed her advice, and I am very happy with the outcome of my hearing. I would ...definitely use her services again!

Custody /Parenting Time

After consulting with a few lawyers, I was losing hope for getting sole custody of my child. I was referred to Krista from a friend and after meeting with her I knew she was the one. I have read the reviews on here and was a little nervous by the negative review, I will admit She is hard to get ahol...d of ( like any Good lawyer, they are busy in court & do have other clients) However, her legal secretary Rachel, answered any and all of my questions. Krista filed an amazing cross motion, and did her homework on my child's rare disorder. This really impressed me. She really took the time to learn about something that many Doctors don't bother to do. She was able to help me obtain sole custody, as well as supervised visitation through a family therapist, requiring the NCP take drug/alcohol testing on a weekly basis, and to have the NCP take parenting classes. Every other lawyer I spoke to about my case told me that getting sole custody in NJ is next to impossible. I was also told that the judge that had my case was a very lenient judge, that particular judge looks at each case as a new starting point - forgiving to parents with past/present substance abuse/alcohol problems. This worried me immensely. However Krista came through and made the impossible possible for me. I can't thank Krista /Helmer Conley & Kasselman enough for the amazing work they did on my case. I highly recommend them.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
