“Last December, my wife of 17 years and mother of my two children surprised me by filing for divorce.  I was despondent.  Not only was the person that I loved and trusted the most wanting me out of her life, I was left with a document containing legal language which I did not understand.  Numerous questions filled my mind: Who would get the children?  What were my rights?  What steps are involved in the divorce process?  I contacted Mr. Greenwald, and he responded immediately.  He patiently and compassionately answered all of my questions and explained the legal language in terms which I could understand.  Mr. Greenwald’s expert explanations comforted my anxiety and made me feel much better about what to expect.  While I do not wish for any married couples to experience a divorce, I highly recommend Mr. Greenwald to anyone who needs a great family lawyer.” – A.K. former client
