I needed a lawyer for my divorce, and a few years later to file a custody suit. I found Ms Weaderhorn very compassionate and caring about the situation I was in and the stresses I was feeling. She always responded promptly to my emails or questions, and with answers that indicated to me that she had really listened, thought about and considered her response. She guidede me through the sticky processes I mentioned above with professionalism and savvy. However, Ms Weaderhorn also would listen to my suggestions for alternate plans or solutions and was open to working with me even if it was a different direction than she had suggested. I liked the fact that Ms Weaderhorn was willing and able to go to bat for me, toe to toe with opposing attorneys, and in the courtroom. I always felt confident that she was doing all she could to protect my interests. I also liked that when we encountered some resistance, she asked for my opinion about what I wanted her to do, so our professional relationship was clearly based on mutual respect. I felt that she was not just my attorney, but a valued member of my team.

Ali is a dedicated, knowledgeable and hard- working attorney. She has the ability to look at a situation from multiple angles and to assess the best strategy to implement. While these are extremely important qualities for an attorney, Ali brings much more to the table. She is kind, empathetic and is blessed with an inhuman amount of patience. I hired Ali to deal with one of the worst situations I've had to go through. Her professional and inter-personal skills allowed me to have complete trust and confidence in her getting the job done.
