What our clients say
"Ariel is the best lawyer I've ever had"
Ariel is the best lawyer I've ever had, for anything. Unfortunately, this was for a divorce. The first lawyer I had reached out to never took my calls and when they did, wanted to pressure me into a settlement with my ex wife, but I didn't want that because I knew this women didn't deserve a dime from me. Ariel exposed my ex for what she is, a FRAUDSTER and a CON. She actually listened to me and took my calls. She's extremely pleasant as a person but don't be fooled, shes a shark!

"Ariel was responsive, understanding, thorough and diligent in going through my case to establish the best options."
I needed some help in a divorce/child support matter and have worked with Ariel for ~7 months to get closure. I was sure I had chosen my representation well right from the start as Ariel was responsive, understanding, thorough and diligent in going through my case to establish the best options.
Communication via email/texts/calls was spot on and new situations were dealt with promptly.
I felt well supported and in good hands which certainly helps during anxious times while dealing with such family matters.

"I appreciate you helping to drive for a positive outcome via settlement vs. going through long litigations"
Thank you for the fantastic deposition today … It took a lot of work and attention to detail … And even though you were asking tough questions in the deposition, you were very professional and kept the interaction affable.
I also appreciate you helping to drive for a positive outcome via settlement vs. going through long litigations, which hurts and prevents the family from moving on. You truly care.
Thank you once again. I really appreciate it.

"Her attention to detail and adding a personal touch has helped me deal with this divorce."
I cannot thank Ariel enough for her hard work on my case. All of her documentation was done with great expertise. Even though the charges from there other attorney were completely false she spent considerable time proving it was false. Her attention to detail and adding a personal touch has helped me deal with this divorce.

"She practices law as if she has been doing this 20+ years"
I would like to offer my positive feedback on my experience working with Ariel Peres. My divorce is complete now. I say that with fingers crossed because I don’t want to jinx anything, as the other side (Or “Dark Side” as I like to call them, Star Wars reference) has had a tendency to throw some surprises out (Not unlike the Galactic Empire doing a test run of the Death Star and in so doing, destroying the planet Alderaan…Star Wars again). I believe the concept of surprises is a good one to start with in a commendation about Ariel Peres. Through multiple curve balls (Like Luke finding out Princess Leia was his sister…..awkward), Ariel remained very calm, unemotional and judicious. She did not make un-informed decisions and did not let the irrationality and frankly unprofessional behavior of opposing counsel rattle her. She remained calm, rational, and thoughtful throughout the process: Not unlike Yoda would if he were an attorney (OK that’s the last Star Wars reference I promise).
Ariel is a calming presence, which is particularly necessary for me as I have a tendency to get emotional when a curve ball is thrown my way. She practices law as if she has been doing this 20+ years. She finds calm in the storm, and is able to do so by referencing law and how the law does not support opposing counsel’s assertions. She always goes back to pointing out how the law supports me, and where there are gray areas, how the law still supports me. And she does so with an effective combination of professionalism, knowledge of the law, and humanity. Not sure if you have heard this one before, and this certainly isn’t my opinion, but some people in this world don’t have the greatest opinion of lawyers. She breaks that mold to pieces and has been exceptionally wonderful to work with. She is extraordinarily intelligent, has an uncommonly high knowledge of family law when compared to other attorneys I’ve communicated with, has a tranquil and soothing demeanor that cannot help but be infectious, and is able to show where true north is when I can get lost in the details.
May The Force Be With You,
