I had an initial consultation with her, and while I was impressed, I decided to initially hire with someone who was supposed to be for men's rights. Boy, was that a mistake. AFter becoming obligated for thousands of dollars and getting nowhere, I decided to go back to Ms Schleifer. She pointed out certain defects in the papers that the mother's attorney had filed, which had not been addressed by my previous lawyers. She was direct, honest, and tho' sometimes I had to wait longer than I wanted to in order to get return calls, we ended up settling our case and avoiding thousands of dollars more in attorneys fees. She was respected by the judge, and the childrens' lawyer, and worked with the interest of the kids as her top goal. I trust her and would refer anybody I like to her firm.
Pros: She has a great reputation, and lots of experience, and often set me straight on my too high expectations
Cons: Not always easy to reach. No custody matter ends perfectly.
