His negotiation skill is beyond excellence. He defiantly knows the court system, paper works, your rights and what the law says very well. I am very thankful to settle the case without a trail. I was able to retained most of what I wanted out of the divorce and came to a reasonable asset division, parenting agreement and child custody. Jeff is compassionate, honest, well-experienced and highly skilled. If you have a complexity case, Jeff is the one I will highly recommended.

Jeffrey A. Soilson provided compassionate, strategic and long-term vision in a very complicated divorce situation involving a long term marriage,young adult child and extensive marital assets/trusts. I put my full trust into Jeffrey's hands. I could not have been more pleased with the level of service from him as my personal (not just legal) advisor who approached this crossroads in my life in such a holistic way. He is a beacon whose guidance does not waiver.

Jeff is thorough, organized, firm but also patient. He is exactly what is needed to navigate through a difficult divorce process. He is also exceptionally personable. Not only does this make him easier to deal with as a client but I think it benefits the negotiation process with the opposing party. Deals can actually get negotiated because there is no big lawyer ego in the way. Jeff's a great choice to make in a difficult time.

Jeff superbly and expertly represented me in a difficult,contested divorce. His approach throughout the process was always professional, ethical, well-reasoned, insightful, and strategic. He placed me and my minor child at the center of all decisions. His focus was on my long-term well being and my child's future, beyond the divorce. His expertise produced a wonderful outcome for me and my son. I have referred many others to him since then and he remains my go-to person for all legal matters.

Jeff replaced my previous attorney, who was appointed to a judgeship. I was amazed at how much better my representation suddenly was. Jeff is extremely smart, conscientious and reliable--the first attorney I've felt I could put my full trust in. He really listens to me and respects me. He's a sharp, persuasive litigator. He thinks outside the box and is able to come up with solutions other attorneys might miss. And he's a great networker who knows how to navigate the legal system.

Attorney Soilson was recommended to me by my brother, who is also an attorney, as legal counsel to me while I was going through divorce mediation. I needed his expertise to help me negotiate a divorce agreement.
I found him to be extremely knowledgeable about divorce & family law, and it was very reassuring for me to review my questions and concerns with him. He was extremely responsive every time I sought him out for questions whether by phone or email.
