CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I had a very difficult divorce and custody battle. I stuck with Lance through the entire process and I’m so glad I did. Lance took the time to fully understand my case and worked hard to navigate complex issues. He has excellent knowledge of the law and his recommendations were spot on. When we had to go to court Lance clearly explained the strategy and reasoning behind it and we always walked away with a positive outcome. I highly respect Lance’s ability as a lawyer and found his advice to be very valuable. Going through divorce and custody issues is an extremely emotional process and I found Lance to be very level-headed and even throughout the process. Lance guided me in the right direction during times when I wanted to go a more adversarial route, which in the end produced a better outcome for less money. I highly recommend Lance as a divorce attorney, he is worth every penny.
As an older male going through divorce and custody, I was very tentative/skeptical about attorneys. I searched and interviewed. If you’re looking for the best, Marie is it. Makes you feel important and is attentive to your wishes. She tells it like it’s is. She’s a fighter when needed but her demeanor otherwise is perfect. Loved her. Would recommend her strongly. Tough to find the good ones.
Caroline Donato was hope to me and my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed constrained. Not only was she able to defend me from an unjust accusation, her calm/confidence and empathetic demeanor offered emotional/compassionate support to myself and those I care about most. My wife, children and I are eternally grateful for her profound knowledge and professional services. I hereby recommend Ms. Donato without reservation.
Lance’s expertise in the law is invaluable. His admirable penchant in navigating my difficult, long divorce, resulting in a positive outcome, is vastly appreciated. For many years, his professional manner and attentiveness kept me confident and peaceful. I am grateful to Lance and his top-tier firm for their capability and for giving me a favorable conclusion to that chapter in my life.
Brian always responded promptly and answered any questions I had. He was very professional and courteous while dealing with this matter. I would highly recommend him.
