The FIXER????? He holds onto divorce cases for as long as he can so he can keep collecting money. He DOES NOT settle. Avoids phone calls, will not respond to clients or other attorneys. Does zero to try and settle a case. He is the worst. There is nothing he wants more than to go to trial.

From day one of retaining Barach Family Law Group, the attorney's have been professional, responsive, and extremely diligent. The divorce case I was part of, had been difficult and encompassed many moving parts. This groups suggestions, and knowledge of the process was exceptional. It's very clear they have decades of experience. The team never lost sight of what was in the best interest of my child/children. And for that, I especially thank the owner of this firm.

If you are looking for a divorce lawyer, I highly recommend Nick. He is an excellent, hard-working, and highly intelligent lawyer, based on my own personal experience and outcome, he clearly knows what he is doing and was my greatest asset while going through a very painful divorce. He did his best with my case and was very proactive allowing me to focus on reshaping my life knowing he had my best interests in mind. Here are three things I liked most about Nick and his firm. Nick and his team quickly understood my case, answered all my questions, took proactive actions, and provided the right guidance to me. Nick added precise and clearly written clauses in the divorce agreement regarding my daughter’s educational costs. Nick went above and beyond even working during the weekend to ensure that everything was finalized before the divorce date and so the case would not drag out longer than needs be. Going through a divorce is a painful experience, but having someone as professional and diligent as Nick supporting you, making sure the agreement is fair, speedy and well-communicated made it that much more bearable. Thank you, Nick ????

Nicholas and his team has done a wonderful job on my custody case. Going in with zero experience, i was very nervous. But they explained everything thoroughly and answered all of my questions. They are organized and on top of their game. I needed everything to be done as soon as possible and they got it done sooner than I had expected. Even after everything had settled Nicholas took the time to reach out to make sure everything is okay, which is really appreciated. Over all, I would recommend Nicholas to represent your case. Their firm truly cares for each one of their cases. They work night, day, weekends and holiday just to get the job done. They’re an amazing team and I would use them over and over again with no hesitation if needed. Thank you Halks Firm, you guys are awesome!

Nick and his team are A+++ If you are looking for top notch representation and a team that will listen, keep you informed, and cares about the work they are doing for their clients, then you must hire Attorney Nicholas Halks. I called Nick on a Friday with a scheduled pre-trial date on Wednesday. Nick and his team got to work right way, getting the date moved so they could have time to properly prepare. From the moment, I spoke with Lauren (his paralegal) and then Nick directly, I knew I was in good hands and for the first time in a year and 3 months I was able to breathe and feel at ease about my case. Nick is a craftsman at what he does, he pays attention to detail, he’s strategic, and is not afraid to fight for his clients.  Throughout the case, Nick and his team were responsive, reassuring, highly knowledgeable, and professional. Don’t waste your time and money with other attorneys like I did, give Nick a call and HIRE HIM!

I employed the superb services of the Law Offices of Lisa A. Ruggieri, P.C. for divorce representation. I highly recommend her office and found Lisa and her office to be extremely diligent, helpful and proactive. I received email updates of all developments and each important notification was followed up by a phone call to make sure I received the information and understood it. I also worked closely with her paralegal Anthony and he made it very easy to upload documentation electronically and to provide electronic signatures when permitted. He was also very thorough in guiding me through the divorce proceedings. We conducted the entire process during the pandemic but Lisa was always on top of things, much more than opposing counsel. She was firm and clear in her positions defending my interests and I feel that our judge deemed her arguments were stronger and more convincing than the opposition. Lisa was also insistent that we complete the process quickly in order to save not just time and aggravation but also legal expenses on my end. I greatly appreciated the level of professionalism and dedication to my case and would recommend her legal services to anyone.

I would highly recommend Lisa Ruggieri to anyone who needs representation going through family dispute litigations. I have worked with her for a few years on what should have been a minimal case. She is straight to the point and very knowledgeable in her field. She has been extremely responsive with any questions I have had and has worked vigorously to come to a reasonable agreement. Anthony, her paralegal was also extremely responsive and prompt in answering any questions, reviewing paperwork, and explaining processes. Ultimately, we have avoided trial, avoided incurring additional fees, and will have a judgment that makes sense for both parties.

Strong Advocate through the Pandemic! Even during the pandemic, Attorney Ruggieri successfully negotiated a Stipulation for Judgment on all post-divorce issues without requiring a single Court appearance or hearing. My case was resolved amicably and I couldn't be happier with the final result. I strongly recommend Attorney Ruggieri to anyone currently going through or considering a divorce or separation. Thanks Lisa!

Very rude., never listen to the client. I am stuck in court for almost 5 years because of her inability to listen, she always yelled and do only what she wants. I was her client during 13 months for my divorce.In 1 year she put in her pack the whole profit of my part on selling of my marital house in legal fees and I still in court with many problems because she didn't protect my kids properly and most of my Divorce agreement has different interpretation accordingly to the law.

It was supposed to be an amicable divorce initiated by my ex-wife. It became clear that she wanted to set the financial terms based on what she thought was right. David was always calm and took some of the emotional elements out of the mix and focused me on the real terms. He was nonetheless a good listener and showed empathy while guiding me through the legal process. He shared with me some of facts he would have presented to a judge had the amicable process gone awry. But all in all David worked hard at moving a difficult process through to its conclusion with minimal acrimony. If you are looking to grind an axe I don't think he is the guy for you! Otherwise I would highly recommend him to anyone going through the inherently difficult and emotional challenging process of ending a union while minimizing the collateral damages. He will make the tough journey that much easier. He is really a good guy and a good attorney!

David defended me against a non-compete claim in which the plaintiffs tried to claim that my accumulated industry expertise, as well as material that can be learned from any undergraduate Computer Science curriculum, were protected trade secrets. I worked closely with David to rebut these claims; I was impressed with David's ability to assimilate complex technical information I provided, and use it to formulate legal arguments that demolished the plaintiff's claims. In my position as an out of work geek who was being sued, I was also very happy with David's cost-effective and collaborative work; this helped me exit the process with my wallet and my confidence in good order.

Divorce isn’t easy. It’s emotional, it’s draining and it’s complicated. We have one daughter that was pretty much stuck in the middle of all of this along with a pretty complicated financial situation due in part to the fact that I am a large shareholder in a small privately held family business. What we had hoped would be a fairly reasonable and amicable arrangement, turned into three years of an heartache and trauma. But, what was key through all of this was David. David allowed me to go on with my day to day life and not get bogged down but the inner details of the divorce. If a meeting needed to happen, I didn’t need to worry if my lawyer was prepared. David had it all together, so frankly, I didn’t have to. He was the level headed one. If I had an emotional breakdown, which happened, he helped me work through it. David also understood the workings of a small closely held business. That helped a ton. He got it. He got the fact that if you drain the business of cash there will be no money to go around. David and I ran a three year marathon together, and I appreciate all that he did.

David Burgess was an absolute pleasure to work with. He advised me through the process of mediation for divorce in which a child was involved. This was a highly stressful time for me, and David had a calm confidence that was just what I needed. He did not ratchet up the situation as I have a sense some other lawyers do. He made sure we addressed everything we needed to at each meeting, and his billing was always very fair. When we had our court date, I had the curious feeling that I was being walked down the aisle in reverse by someone I felt very safe with. I was proud to be represented by him.

I wish I knew of Deborah during my divorce. The attorney who represented me in my divorce told me (and I quote) “don’t be an a******, sign it”. That mistake has put me in the hole significantly. I retained Deborah for a post-divorce matter which was financially and emotionally exhaustive. Deborah stuck with me every step of the way- when I was unexpectedly laid off, especially. We actually were able to mediate a post divorce agreement that my ex-wife and I both walked away feeling good about. Deborah’s commitment to her clients and their children’s well-being clear. Without hesitation I would recommend Deborah Katz to anyone facing a family court or probate matter.

My husband & I have used Danger Law for our Wills about two years ago and recently for trusts. They made both processes very easy and I feel good that they are solid legal documents that will disperse our assets the way we want to be done. They ask enough to get to really understand what you want, then take the ball and run with it. We found pricing to be in line with other options we quoted. Overall a very professional experience which I can highly recommend.

We specifically chose DangerLaw because of their focus on LGBTQ families. It was great to go to a law firm that understood our family and went the extra mile to have that outreach and support. I highly recommend using DangerLaw and have already recommended them to multiple friends!

I am so glad we hired Tyler. He served as our mediator and he put together and filed all the necessary paperwork for us, and he did it all for a very reasonable flat fee. I was nervous that the divorce process would be a nightmare but he made the entire process as quick and painless as possible. He was so kind and professional and he always responded to all of our questions very quickly and made sure that we understood everything. He is the absolute best at what he does and I highly recommend him to anyone going through a divorce, even if you are filing jointly and are tempted to do all the work yourselves. I know that hiring Tyler to do the paperwork for us saved us a lot of time and that we would have made mistakes if we didn't have his help. Thanks to his help there were no issues with the paperwork and the judge granted the divorce with no problem. If you're looking for someone to help you with your divorce look no further!
