Law Office of Sophia M. Palmer

I was represented by Hannah Gurewitz from Sophia Palmer Law during my divorce, and highly recommend her. Hannah always struck the perfect balance: compassionate yet direct, amicable but no pushover, efficient yet always explaining key details… and she gets results. It should be noted that my case was stacked against me, yet we still came out on top. After 26 years of marriage, as the primary provider, my ex sought lifetime spousal maintenance and refused to contribute any of her income to our household bills or a temporary children support agreement. Hannah expertly guided me through every stage of the process. She was also far more organized and prepared than opposing counsel, so much so that my ex eventually replaced her lawyer to try to keep up. In court, Hannah achieved the result I wanted most: the earliest possible end to spousal maintenance so I could have a fresh start, soon. In another win, although the judge ordered me to pay my ex’s legal fees, the amount was capped at what I paid Hannah: over $20K less than my ex’s lawyer’s billing. Laurel Morgan is also an excellent Paralegal, keeping me informed and the case moving when Hannah was in trial or mediation for the day. I’m deeply grateful for everything Hannah did for me and wholeheartedly recommend the Sophia Palmer Law group to anyone seeking skilled, caring, and incredibly effective divorce attorneys.

Jessica chose to withdraw from my case, citing a mismatch in communication styles. I suspect this was simply a pretext to evade the challenging work involved in advocating for men's rights. If you find yourself navigating a complicated situation in a left-leaning state, where equal custody is not the standard, I advise seeking representation elsewhere. Jessica, Kamryn, and their team were largely unhelpful, pushing me towards a settlement instead of a more aggressive strategy. Despite having clearly communicated my expectations and the opposing party's strategy prior to signing, they appeared more focused on quickly onboarding clients to collect fees than on dedicating the necessary effort, ultimately withdrawing at a critical moment. For fathers seeking equal custody, it’s important to find someone who will genuinely advocate for your rights.

I’d recommend ensuring that your staff.. whether a secretary, paralegal, or receptionist... has a clear understanding of basic client-facing information. Prospective clients should be able to quickly obtain answers to foundational questions such as: 1. Consultation Fees: Whether the firm charges for an initial consultation and, if so, the amount. 2. Billing Structure: Whether services are billed on a flat fee, hourly rate, or incrementally 3. Retainer Amount: The cost to retain the attorney’s services and the terms of the retainer agreement. Equipping your staff with this knowledge fosters efficiency, professionalism, and client trust. A well-prepared team ensures potential clients feel valued and confident in their initial interaction with your firm.

I had a very ugly and contested divorce/custody battle. Kathryn fought hard for me and would recommend her for anyone facing a highly contentious divorce.

I would recommend Sophia to anyone needing a divorce attorney. She is extremely knowledgeable about the law, professional, and responsive. She is a good listener who will work hard to get the best outcome for you. She is also very honest and up front about your case and doesn’t just tell you want you want to hear. Her demeanor is such that she makes a difficult and sometimes stressful process less so.

Kim Aril helped me through the most difficult period in my life- divorce and creating a parenting plan. I believe my case is considered to be high conflict, as I was the victim of domestic violence from someone with a military background and who had just been hired as a police officer with a local department , and our child was only 7 weeks old when I began the divorce process. After several consultations with different attorneys I knew Kim was who i needed in my corner. She is incredibly intelligent, ethical, fierce, honest and knows the law well. I’ve retained Kim twice and both times the outcome was in our favor. I hope that I do not find myself in a situation again where I need to hire an attorney , but if I do I will always hire Kim. She is as honest, realistic and she never made me any promises which I respect. I was no walk in the park either, I was very emotional throughout the process but Kim handled things well and professionally. Kim has my highest recommendation.

My personal experience here with Sophia Palmer office there so professional here they helped me with my relocation to return back home after my ex husband and I just divorced . We have a child together and my attorney Stacy S. she’s amazing she was able to have me and my children return back home yes she does work with a lot of military . And by far these women in this law office know what there doing and your money is worth it . Stacy did a fabulous job I highly recommend her to anybody!!!!!
