What Our Clients Have to Say About Us

I cannot say enough about this law firm. Both attorneys are great, though Sara Jacobs is the one I worked closely with. Sara worked so hard on my case, and she was able to bring it to the exact conclusion I needed, even though working with others who were unwilling to cooperate. Sara moved mountains for me, and I am so grateful. She has also given me valuable advice and counsel to which I have referred time and again.

Choosing an attorney is the first stressful part of a long custody process. The right choice, your guide through this experience, will directly impact your life and your children's life. Fortunately, I made the right choice retaining my attorney, when I hired Barbara Cowen. Barbara is a wonderful, sweet, kind, generous and compassionate person. She is also extremely knowledgable, meticulous and principled. But above all, going through an emotionally taxing experience, Barbara moved quickly and efficiently through the settlement process. I could not possibly recommend Barbara highly enough!

This was my first experience dealing with an attorney and Sara Jacobs made this experience as easy and stress free as possible. She is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond for her clients. I highly recommend Sara Jacobs , she is a true professional and gets the job done.

Barbara handled my case with the utmost respect and diligence. I felt taken care of every step of the way, from our first meeting and until after our (successful) court appearance. I truly recommend this law firm for someone looking for the best.
