MISLEADING. PLEASE BEWARE. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. If I could zero-0 starts, I would! I rarely leave negative reviews, but after my experience with this firm, I feel obligated to share what happened so others can make an informed decision. Our experience started out great. We paid $260 for a consultation and left feeling confident that we had found the right firm. We explained that the child’s mother was already offering four hours of visitation. We made it clear that we were hiring an attorney because four hours was not meaningful parenting time and we wanted help obtaining a fair parenting arrangement, legitimization, child support, and a response to the pending filing. During the consultation, we felt heard and understood. We were led to believe that the firm would aggressively pursue a better outcome and work toward resolving the matter efficiently. After paying a $5,000 retainer, the experience changed completely. The attorney who conducted the consultation was no longer handling the matter, and the case was transferred to another attorney. Within approximately two weeks, the only significant filing I am aware of was an Acknowledgment of Service. During that same period, nearly $2,000 in charges were incurred, with additional invoices reportedly still pending. When I reviewed the billing, I found numerous charges for reviewing emails, reviewing documents, saving documents to files, sending emails, and multiple staff members billing time on the same matters. I also questioned nearly $700 in charges related to a missed Zoom meeting. Most disappointing of all, after spending thousands of dollars, we were ultimately presented with the same four-hour visitation arrangement that existed before we hired counsel. The very issue we hired the firm to address remained unchanged. As of the date of this review, I have requested documentation and explanations regarding several billing concerns and have not received satisfactory answers. I have also requested clarification regarding the work performed, the invoices issued, and the progress made on the case. My son terminated representation after approximately two weeks because we had lost confidence in the value being provided relative to the cost being incurred. Every prospective client should carefully review every invoice line by line, ask detailed questions about billing practices, understand exactly who will be handling their case after the consultation, and request regular updates regarding what substantive progress is being made. This review reflects my personal experience and opinion based on the services we received and the invoices we reviewed.Read more

If you’re looking for a divorce lawyer who combines the grit of a prizefighter, the patience of a kindergarten teacher, and the bedside manner of a seasoned therapist, Brianna Moscowitz is your person. I found Brianna at a time when I was navigating the emotional equivalent of a shipwreck. Not only did they keep me afloat, they helped me rebuild the damn boat. Stronger, smarter, and far more seaworthy. Brianna is, in a word, exceptional. Tough when the situation demanded it, honest even when it stung (which I appreciated more than I expected), and tirelessly hardworking. She was never out for blood, but always out for what was fair. And more than that, she genuinely seemed to care. I never felt like a case file or a transaction. I felt heard, respected, and protected. She explained everything in human, non-lawyer English. She had time for my questions (even the dumb ones). She never sugar-coated things, but somehow still managed to deliver tough truths with compassion and clarity. That, my friends, is a rare skill. If you’re in the market for a legal team that fights smart, listens well, and shows up with both integrity and empathy—this is where you want to be. Highly, wholeheartedly, five-stars-with-an-extra-gold-sticker recommend.Read more

I can’t thank this law firm enough for everything they did for me. The entire team was amazing and helped me believe that I could do this, and gave me so much strength! Amanda is a great lawyer! I told her everything I needed and wanted. She put everything in the marital separation agreement that I asked for. Ultimately, I was able to settle my divorce with an uncontested agreement. It all went quicker than I ever thought it could. Don’t look any further - they ARE the best!!!Read more

Words cannot express how wonderful this firm is to their clients. I have had an amazing experience. I reached out to the firm regarding my divorce and Natasha called me immediately to offer their services and got me set up with the most amazing attorney, Leah Zammit. Natasha is an angel, she listened and was empathetic of my situation. Everytime I call the office everyone helps me immediately as if I am their only client. Kaitlyn is the paralegal for my case and due to the emergency timeline has gone above and beyond to ensure that I stay on task and organized to help the team respond with the items needed. She is kind and patient and always takes time to help me with any questions or concern that I have Leah Zammit is tough and protective of my fragile state. At my TPO hearing and emergency custody hearing she fought tooth to nail to ensure that my experience was not to cause me anymore stress and has ensured that the resolution is the best possible outcome for myself and my son. I am eternally thankful for my legal team. I will always rely on them for all future issues that may arise. Thank you all so much!Read more

Hiring Vayman & Teitelbaum, P.C was one of the best decisions I made in my life. They represented me pertaining to custody modification. Not only did I receive what we were fighting for, I got more! I received primary custody of my son. Out of all the things I’ve accomplished in my life, this was by far the biggest one. My son means everything to me. Seeing him daily and being involve more in his life has given my life more purpose. I’ll never forget this process. Ms.Zammit, Ms.Shipman and Ms.Horensky were more than exceptional. They were amazing. They got the job done. I would strongly recommend them to anyone seeking for help pretaining to custody modification! God bless.Read more
