I have to write something, and I’m doing this mainly as a thank you.
We are three years into this divorce already. This is a very contentious case involving a lot of money and spanning three countries and touching on every aspect of separation of assets, custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, family patrimony, and a lot of diverse assets and we cannot agree on anything at all. I started out with another attorney who was very good, but as things got more intense, she felt it was better to recommend this to true specialists and sent to my current firm. I liked her and did not really want to switch, but she insisted. My new firm, this one, Kalman Samuels, is smaller but charged the same amounts; Within just a few weeks I understood why my former attorney recommended that I switch. These guys are really specialized & know what they are doing and are very good at it.
Each and every time my ex wife drags us back to court, we win, without exception. Then, just when her lawyers have a better understanding of what is really going on and begin to cooperate and tell her to stop acting crazy, she gets angry, changes lawyers, changes tactics, does something stupid forcing us to go to court and we win again, then we negotiate hard with the new lawyer who has a better understanding of what he is dealing with, my wife fires the lawyer, hires another one and repeats the cycle, over and over again.
She is now on her sixth lawyer and my attorneys worry that he might be on his way out too very soon.
Just last month we received a procedure with only two day’s notice. This is not legal! My attorneys really scrambled to respond. Rather than asking for a postponement, which they could have, they put all their energy into preparing and pleading a powerful response with only two days of preparation. They said it would be cheaper this way than going twice. Also, it would show how unreasonable she was. The opposing attorney must have been expecting a request for postponement because even though it was his own motion, he was caught surprised and ended up not being ready for court when my attorneys showed up ready to fight. Brilliant!!!
We won again, 100%.
They did well all the other times before, but this time I was especially impressed. The case was very well handled. Essentially, their complete victory saves me (and my kids) from major financial headaches and possibly a big change in lifestyle. This is why I’m posting this now. The last hearing cost me financially, again, but all the work they did will pay for itself in three month’s time because the judge rejected the crazy things she was asking for and simply did not believe all the retarded allegations she started making, suddenly and out of nowhere. If my attorneys read this, they will know who I am and which attorneys I am talking about. And that’s O.K., because they put a lot into this and I think they deserve a little bit more than just their fees. So here it is: “Thank you!”
