Getting a divorce is a really hard process, but having a great attorney on your side is key. I can’t say enough good things about Ron. He is not only smart and knowledgeable in divorce law, but he’s also kind, compassionate and fair to everyone involved. Ron always walked me through every question and concern I had and worked very hard to meet all our deadlines. If you want a lawyer you can trust, go see Ron. I could not have gone through the process without him.
— Michelle B.
Barbara and Ron are a dynamic legal team! Their expertise and legal knowledge is highly impressive. They are fair, attentive, and thorough. I retained Barbara Youngman for a family law case and she was brilliant. She handled a difficult case with sensitivity and strength, I would highly recommend the Youngman and Reitshtein law firm!
— DONNA C.
Ron, Barbara and Lauren all sat with me for an hour to get the particulars of my situation and I was content with the level of expertise, concern, care and regard with how they partook in my initial visit. Going forward, I worked directly with Lauren Youngman who has been an amazing advocate! She has been superbly helpful, knowledgeable, inspirational, realistic and genuinely concerned about the betterment of my situation; inclusive of myself, my son and even my son’s mother. She has worked hard on my behalf and has represented me in court a handful of times. She has been a stellar conduit in my path towards establishing my parental rights and custody, and has aided in a world of difference in reducing the stress in my situation. I have nothing but high recommendations and regards for Lauren! Thank you again Lauren!
— Branden A.
Even a simple divorce takes time and patience; Lauren made it simple, convenient and easy. She was always available to talk with me or email me - basically always available to answer questions and make recommendations.
When you think about a legal service, the fear of cost is always there. The main cause of that angst for me comes from me needing to feel that I am getting my money’s worth. With Lauren, I never felt the need to question anything on the financial side of things. She was above board, transparent and conducted our business with integrity, communication and smarts.
Lauren always approached our business with professionalism yet never had a moment without personality. Doing business with someone you like and enjoy is by far, a better experience.
