Hired Attorney Brian Hunter

I contacted him with a short notice of my trial coming up, and he was able to review my case. Later on, I hired to represent me. I absolutely recommend Brian Hunter. He was kind, reliable, available, honest, dedicated, and realistic. He called me and schedule meetings with a very short notice, and at all times I felt he was there to help me. His price was decent compared to other law firms. I recommend him 100%.

Hired Law Firm

Erin O’Riley is an outstanding and very professional attorney. She was really patient throughout my whole divorce process and always protected my rights as a legal immigrant and permanent resident. In addition, she came up with elaborated strategies and after the final stretch, we ended up with a fair and positive outcome. I would recommend Erin and Gevurtz-Menashe 100 % without hesitating. I would like to express my sincere and eternal gratitude to Erin, Lisette, Robert and all the G-M team who helped me in one of the hardest times of my life.

Hired Law Firm

First Lawyer was Eric Larson, a principal with the firm. He negotiated the divorce 15 years ago and was consultant on this year's action - termination of alimony. Stephen Brown handled this year's action. I didn't get all I felt was fair in the settlement (do we ever?), but I can live with it. Best part is that it is a stipulated agreement - thus both sides agreed and the contention should end.

Hired Law Firm

The lawyer didn't seem to be very knowledgable or competent. She didn't tell us of required parenting classes, and wasted time in court on a problem that was unimportant even after the judge repeatedly reminded her of the time shortage. Consequently, our 30 minutes of court time were used up, but they allowed us to come back 4 hours later, for another thirty minutes. We were billed for those extra four hours, and only used 10 minutes the second time. We ended up firing her.

Hired Attorney Ms. Robin Wright

Hopefully the other GM attorneys serve their clients better, but--while I liked Robin Wright personally and think she's clearly an intelligent person--I found her extremely passive as an attorney, except when it came to coming up with extra hoops to generate still more billable hours. Most dishearteningly, she was completely out-manuevered by the other attorney, and that was because she seemed to have no interest in representing my interests or that of my child as the case proceeded.

Hired Attorney Ms. Andrea Anderly

I hired Andrea for a family law case. Her estimate for services was $10,000 to $15,000. She billed me around $50,000. She was HORRIBLE in court resulting in a loss of approximately $100,000. I appealed the judges ruling and won -- because I was legally correct. Not due to Andrea - she lost. The appeals court ruled against HER argument. At Fee Mediation, it was decided I did NOT have to pay the remaining $28,000 from her bill and they ordered her to return $4,000 to me. DO NOT HIRE HER!!!!!!

Hired Law Firm

Do not choose this law firm for your divorce. The individual I hired to be my attorney handed me off to an "associate", who did not know what she was doing. Keep looking. You can do better. I did all the side work and received no follow through, when struggling to obtain what was rightfully mine. I complied fully with my stipulations after the divorce was finalized, and when I asked for help, I was talked down to, and ignored. This attorney said I would receive free estate planning after everything was done. No follow through on that either.

Hired Attorney Ms. Robin Wright

Robin Wright should have her license to practice law revoked. While being a master at charging hundreds of dollars she was utterly combative, unlikeable and hostile to me. She caused me to lose custody of my two children to an abusive ex-husband. She had no remorse, quit the case via email and refused all contact. My children now have a terrible life with a vindictive abusive father who successfully used the court system to destroy their mother. Ms. Wright happily assisted him while I paid.
