    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.

    Attorney Matt Barach and his staff went above and beyond and provided me with second to none service. I always felt like a ‘client’ as opposed to ‘another case’ every step of the way. Thank you so very much.

    Barach Family Law worked tirelessly to represent my best interests and see that needs were met.

    Matt and Jenn Salermo did an amazing job for me. I will always be grateful to them and how they have handled my case since the first day until it was officially final. They are very professional, patient and thoughtful. I appreciate what they have done for me. Thank you. I highly recommend Matt and Jenn!

    Great Attorney, David was always on time for court and made the process easy. He was very attentive to what needed to happen to make the divorce as painless as possible for both parties. Worked around my schedule for meetings and go over the paperwork, informed me when the papers got served. All around a great service for someone who had never gone through a divorce!

    Dave was very responsive, efficient, and professional. He got the job done and was very knowledgeable of the matter at hand. I would recommend his firm to anyone looking for an attorney specializing in family law.

    David was very helpful in guiding me through my legal process and explained everything to me in a way I understood it. My process was smooth, professional, and quick turnaround. Definitely would recommend using Callahan law firm. Thanks for all the help!

    To start, I'm amazed by how well Laurel Barraco guided me through my case and fought for my best interests. While many legal matters are stressful, attorney Barraco takes the time to answer questions and ease concerns. Most importantly, attorney Barraco doesn't beat around the bush about difficult matters. Rather, attorney Barraco is willing to say what her client needs to hear. Overall, a very positive experience.

    Very professional, engaged and responsive throughout my case. They were also excellent at responding to issues/questions years after the case was finalized. High recommendation

    Attorney Wons is not only a great person but a fantastic lawyer and is dedicated to helping people every day!

    Leila is a great attorney to hire if you are going through a divorce. I find her compassionate, easy to reach and very well prepared in court. I highly recommend her if you are going through a divorce.

    Leila did a fantastic job representing me through a recent collaborative divorce. At first I was a little skeptical on the collaborative process in general, but she helped me understand the benefits and it worked out as well as it could have. I have found that law, especially divorce, can be cold and difficult - so I was really pleased with Leila's balanced approach of being both an analytical professional lawyer but at the same time a genuinely kind person who understands and doesn't disregard the emotional side of the process.

    Leila is an experienced family law attorney that genuinely cares about every client. She is detailed oriented with superior listening skills. Her passion for honest and accurate legal representation leads to the best possible outcomes which exceeds client expectations.

    Leila was outstanding to work with. She is very professional and effective. She offered a lot of experience, good advise and pays attention to details. I highly recommend her as an attorney.

    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!

    I highly recommend working with Lisa Ruggieri- she was thorough, accessible, and a fierce advocate for me and my children. Though the process is difficult, Lisa and Anthony made it seamless. Having Lisa in my corner was the best decision I could have made.

    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.

    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.

    Deborah did a great job with my divorce. She was prepared, knowledgeable and responsive during a stressful period. She listened to my requests and concerns - something that not all attorneys do well. I recommend Deborah wholeheartedly.

    Aaron has consulted with a family member regarding some personal family matters. He was polite, courteous and honest with her about what her options were. He is a trustworthy attorney that you want on your side in any legal matter!

    Aaron was very quick and responsive in dealing with a personal matter for me as well as extremely reasonable. Thank you very much for your help!

    This attorney is very professional, honest. We hired him for a personal matter and were impressed with timeline this matter was resolved. Highly recommend him

    Communication was clear, concise, and informative. Aaron was able to take the time and help me through a confusing time. I very much appreciated his interpretation and responses to my questions.

    Aaron represented my 12 year old daughter last year and although the judge gave him the option to step down he asked to stay on and see that my daughter got a say in what she wanted. He was professional, respectful, and easy to get a hold of. Thank you so much.

    I want to share my experience with Karla Mansur as my attorney she was very helpful. She does really care about one’s situation. Answered all my questions patiently and responds quickly. Highly recommend anyone who’s in need of a great attorney! ????????

    There was a moment during my divorce process that I said to Karla "you take the wheel, I'll do whatever you tell me to do" and that was one of the best decisions I ever made. Divorce is overwhelming, confusing, physically and emotionally draining. Your world is turned upside down and it's hard to trust yourself or others. I put my trust in Karla and her team and they never let me down. Her interest in the well being of myself, my son and our future was genuine. Her knowledge of family law is unmatched. Her composure and tenacity unyielding, regardless of how bloated the other side huffed and puffed themselves up like the Big Bad Wolf. My divorce from an emotionally abusive narcissist was not an easy one. Karla has an emotional intelligence that is invaluable. She knows the law, but more than that knows how to read people and see through their personality disorder-based mind games. I am beyond grateful to have had her in my corner and recommend her emphatically.

    My experience with the Mansur Law Group was far superior to the ones I had before. I, unfortunately, had to meet and part ways with a variety of Family Attorneys with mixed reviews about their commitment to my case. I have an ex-husband constantly filing complaints and losing them over six years after our divorce. This has recently culminated in a full-blown trial over custody of our children. My ex-husband was arrested and charged with assault and battery of one of our minor children. DCF was involved. The case was documented in detail and before it was dismissed, we attended parenting classes and worked with a family therapist in an effort to help him. This ended up with a restraining order due to his aggressive behavior that was captured by security cameras at my house. Karla Mansur was amazing at capturing six years of history that other attorneys had dismissed for being "complicated." Karla wrote a Finding of Facts document with such precision and eloquent description of the facts based on books of evidence and documents shared with her. She was firm in her language and extremely knowledgeable about how trials and post trials work. It was also comforting to wrap up a stressful experience with a Family Attorney who is so focused on the outcome, and most especially, the children who suffer as a result of a divorce. I could not recommend the Mansur Law Group more. If you are reading this before you do more research, don't waste time and reach out to this practice first. I don't get impressed easily and Karla Mansur and her team still impress me for their work in family law.

    I had a good experience with Mansur Law. They were very responsive and professional.

    I couldn’t have made a better decision choosing Karla. I’ve known Karla for a long time now and have had her as a lawyer before. In my recent family court case with my ex-spouse, I needed Karla’s help to ensure the best deal possible against someone as stubborn as my former partner. Just from our first call about this case, it was obvious that she was looking out for me as another human being and that her heart was in the right place. Numerous places do the least while trying to get the most expenses out of you regardless of the outcome, but Karla went above and beyond. She helped me realize just how much more I should fight for certain things as opposed to giving in like I’ve so been used to. Karla helped me get the what I wanted against a tough adversary, and even helped look out for my wallet as well. Thanks again!

    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 is well-spoken and has a very strong presence in the courtroom. His preparation is outstanding and I would recommend him to anyone looking for legal representation due to his intelligence, experience, and knowledge of the court system.

    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.
