Review Omar Jose Famada

Confident with Omar Famada representing me in my divorce action

5.0 stars

Posted by Manny
July 7, 2015

After initially hiring another attorney, an attorney who provided me with advice that was less than forthright, I was fortunate enough to meet with Omar and subsequently hired him to represent me in my divorce proceedings. Omar has been entirely honest with me throughout the process - I value candor. Omar and his staff have readily kept me abreast every step of the way. During each of the hearings which we have attended thus far he has exhibited a tremendous knowledge of the law and has cited case law at each hearing. He clearly does all of his research without outsourcing. He has succinctly explained every single rationale for each step of the process. RESPONSIVE? - HE HAS PERSONALLY RESPONDED TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF MY EMAILS. Getting a response from my first attorney was an endeavor.

Omar was the light in the darkness when it came to relieving my anxiety relating to my divorce. His knowledge and confidence reassured me when I felt truly helpless and ignorant. When I called I was always afforded an opportunity to talk directly to Omar, no waiting, no messages. He has kept me in the loop 100% of the time, and if I ever had a question, it was answered with a confidence I felt I could trust.

Last year in 2014 I was fighting my ex is a very aggressive child custody battle. At the time I though I would be able to do it on my own but I was incredibly wrong. A friend of mine gave me Omar Famada's email address and phone number letting me know his incredible drive and success rate in these kind of cases. Omar immediately took stand against my ex husband filing motion after motion to stop my ex from taking my son. He picked out each thing my ex was doing wrong, even small things that I would have never known by myself and even in my fragile state he would not let me give up despite how much I wanted to. He stood by in each aspect of the case not letting my ex manipulate me like he was doing before I hired Omar. After a long 8 month battle not only did Omar win our case and I received 50/50 custody of my son (just like he told me he would when he took my case) but he also won our court hearing concerning child support. Without Omar Famada taking on my case I do not know where I would be today. He is one of the best lawyers I have ever come into contact with and I would recommend him to anyone. He is loyal, driven, and sticks to the facts. He also takes it above and beyond, making sure his clients are calm and ready for any tacit made by other parties. He is truly a fantastic lawyer and was a blessing in my life. I am forever grateful everything he did for myself and my son.

If your spouse is hiding assets or concealing income, Omar will chase it down.

I hired the firm Omar worked for, but it was Omar that went above and beyond my expectations especially for him being a young attorney. Long story short, when I filed for divorce, my ex husband stole 70K from our bank accounts and lied about what he did with the money, Omar tracked the funds, subpoenaed banks, and even sued my ex-husband's daughter from a previous relationship and brought her into the lawsuit proceedings because he was funneling monies to her to hide them from me. After a four day divorce trial, the judge recognizing the deceit, deception, and perjury spewing out of my husband's sworn testimony, the Judge awarded me 4 out of our 5 real properties worth around $1 million. My husband was left with a warehouse and the business, and the judge ordered my ex husband to pay for my attorney's fees because of the extraordinary amount of work Omar performed to uncover all of my ex's lies and deceit because of his failure to fully disclose his income. In the end, my ex was left with $50,000 out of $1.2 million in our total real properties (all of which were free and clear). Words cannot express my gratitude to Omar. My ex husband tried to get Omar removed from the case by filing a Bar complaint because he was being so successful uncovering what my husband did not want anyone to find out. .Without him and his intensive investigation and paper chasing, the results would have been different. I don't refer clients to the firm that Omar worked for, I will only refer clients to him. He kept me informed throughout the process unlike his former boss. I am so happy he opened his own practice. I would not hesitate to use Omar again.
