Law Office Of Lisa Gordon

I was represented by Nicole Helmer Simon in a rather long and high conflict custody situation. Nicole and her paralegal, Katie Weinberg, put in a great deal of time and energy to insure my children’s best interests were protected. I was guided as to how I could adequately prepare myself for all court proceedings and due to Nicole and Katie’s efforts, a solid case was built. Both were always open and honest regarding the various steps in the process, listened to my concerns, and took the time to answer my never ending list of questions . In addition, they were reliable and due to their vast knowledge of family law, dedication to my case, and extensive experience, the case was eventually settled shortly after trial commenced. I am grateful I was referred to the firm to represent me for such an important matter.

My family matter had a multitude of complex layers, with a lot of defamation coming from my opposition. It was very high stakes with my two children, and how it impacted my loved ones and my household. Nicole Simon and her paralegal Katie Weinberg were with me every single step of the way. Not only is Nicole patient and understanding with what I was going through emotionally, but she was the rock I needed when things got really rough. Nicole's expertise in this area, her reputation, and most importantly her professionalism won me custody of my children. We had several setbacks, but her confidence in me as a Father and what my end goal was, kept me fighting. She was communicative, responsive, and willing to listen to my thoughts on the situations we encountered. It felt like I had a friend representing me. Katie was efficient, quick to help, and also sympathetic and understanding. I didn't feel like just another client or a revenue stream, and if you retain Nicole, neither will you. My outcome with my children truly was a dream that came true, and my family couldn't be happier. Without hesitation and with the utmost vigor I would recommend Nicole, Katie and Gordon, Tepper & DeCoursey.

Eric Tepper represented me in my recent divorce. He and his paralegal Katie were both prompt, professional, and fantastic to work with. The whole process was efficient and painless. I strongly recommend Eric to anyone looking for legal representation in family matters.

Nicole represented me in my divorce and then subsequent custody modification and child support violations. My oldest child is severely disabled and has many unique behavior and health challenges. Nicole understood my number one priory was stability and safety for my children, especially my son. I felt she did a nice job of articulating to the Court the nuances within my case and ultimately, I am pleased with the outcome. Nicole was even able to get some of my lawyer fees reimbursed by the opposing council. In my experience however, the Court gave too many chances to the Respondent who continued to violate court ordered support payments and custody agreements. I wish the Court and Support Collection Unit would hold individuals more accountable and would assign actual consequences. Nicole had a professional and respectful rapport with every Judge we encountered and at the end of it all, she was able to persuade the Court to order a psychiatric evaluation and drug testing. This ultimately resulted in me being granted sole custody and visitations with their dad are only as can be mutually agreed. My children are safe and have stability, which has always been my top priority. Hopefully I do not need to retain a lawyer again, but if I do, I will certainly return to this firm.

After my difficult divorce, my ex and I had numerous family court appearances regarding our child. I hired Nicole Simon from Gordon, Tepper & DeCoursey for each of these occasions. I couldn't have navigated through those stressful court battles without her and her team. Nicole always promptly responded to my calls and emails. She is incredibly professional, and all the legal documents she prepared were very impressive and well-written. Thanks to Nicole, I now have full custody of my child, and I believe she ultimately saved my child's life.
