Great lawyers- I had a complex custody issue, and Marianne, my attorney for my recent case, was a HUGE help. Even Christin, who works with Marianne and the firm, gives helpful advice and always available and understanding, as well. Also, they were VERY understanding of my financial situation, and gave advice accordingly, which is a rare find in this field. They are compassionate, understanding, and always available to answer any and all questions. I highly recommend this law firm. They go above and beyond, which again, is rare. I've used their firm for over two years, and always had great experiences. Highly HIGHLY recommend!

There are no words to truly explain how grateful we are to Michael Kuldiner and his staff. We had a previous attorney that had done very little with our case. Michael agreed to take our case, and we are very thankful that he did! He was able to accomplish in 4 months what the other attorney had not even come close to in over 2 1/2 years. Felicia is the most AMAZING Paralegal. She is through, prompt, on top of every detail, and incredibly kind. We are confident that our case settled simply because of Michael, Felicia and the office as a whole. HIGHLY recommend!!!

I dropped my old attorney and came to Mike. I had 2 matters that needed to be resolved together. My previous attorney was only working on one matter since he was not knowledgeable in the other, my case was going no where. Finally after 6 years i dropped my old attorney and came to Mike. He was able to take care of both matters in fraction of the time and cost than with my previous attorney. Michael and his team are very knowledgeable in many diverse legal areas. I am very happy i switched attorneys and both of my cases were resolved and finalized.
