Reviews

My mom retained Melissa Rutkoske (through Lazar and Schwartz) for her divorce. Melissa, as well as the paralegal in the office always went above and beyond for my mom. My mom went into the process feeling extremely nervous, as she was left in the dark financially for practically her whole marriage. Melissa was the voice my mom needed, sometimes acting as the voice of reason too! Thank you for everything you did for her! We hope you and your family are doing very well!
When my mom was first going through her divorce she had a lawyer that never listened to her, ignored her calls, and didn't care much about what she wanted. Eventually she got fed up and hired Melissa as her divorce attorney. This was a complete 180 and she actually began to see progress. Melissa fought for her and didn't back down even when intimidation tactics were used. If you want someone who will advocate for you and empathize with you, go here.
Condescending. Endless efforts on budgets which were of no consequence. Jokes at my expense. Told some friends I was to use Lazar and they BOTH warned of their personal experiences. Should of listened. Avoid.
Best bang for your buck, knows their stuff and very knowledgeable with all facets of the law, but very good with divorce. I would not hesitate to highly recommend this form to anyone that needs serious assistance.
Brett Jones is great! All of her supporting staff are wonderful and so helpful. I will continually return for all of my law matters.
