The Erlich Law Office is terrific! Denise is an organized professional who really helped me understand every step of the court process. She made sure to make my main concerns for my family her concerns. She was also honest and forthcoming with suggestions. It was refreshing to find a lawyer who not only knows the many laws of the court, but is also empathetic to the emotions a divorce entails.

Denise was everything that we were looking for in a lawyer. She was open and honest with us about how she believed the case would go and helped us work through an uphill custody battle. She was both professional and personable. She answered all of our questions, provided solid council , and was very timely with getting back to us. We have used her for several occasions and are extremely satisfied with her work and commitment to helping our family. If you are looking for representation, I would whole heartedly recommend her and her team for your needs.

Divorce, A very difficult situation for anyone to deal with. Especially with children involved. I never had to deal with a situation like this before. From the day I had my first consult with Denise, and through the entire process, Denise made this difficult time in my life easier to handle. She is very professional and took the time listen to me and my situation and my concerns. My daughter was my biggest concern. I didn’t want to miss all those moments a parent, a father, wants to cherish with their child. Denise helped me through this process and fought for me so that I may have that time with my daughter. There are so many other sequences in a divorce I never knew about too. Finances, real estate, insurance etc. Denise was there every step of the way. She explained each of the steps of the process and would take the time to answer any questions I had, and I had many. She always kept my in the loop and informed of everything throughout my case. Denise had knowledgeable recommendations throughout the case to best suit me for me and my daughter’s future. Having the trust, focus, honesty, communication, knowledge, and details Denise has added with the care she has for me and my daughter made the whole divorce process so much easier to deal with. I would not have made it through this process without Denise’s help. Having Denise on your team really is having Denise on your team. You work with Denise directly every step of the way. You can not go wrong with Denise is on your side.

Denise Erlich is a consummate legal professional. Denise has represented me for the last three years since 2018. She helped me navigate an extremely difficult divorce and is continuing to represent me while i deal with some very unfortunate legal matters that continue in my personal life. Simply put, Denise gets quality results. One of the many reasons I continue to utilize Denise is that she has a depth and breadth of experience few attorneys possess. Denise and her team work hard to provide top-tier quality legal services and strategies. She does her homework and ensures that her legal strategy is supported by case law and practical wisdom. Excellent legal representation is worth its weight in gold. I trust all my legal needs to Denise. Her personalized touch is excellent. Denise is definitely in a category of five-star service. I feel 100% confident in referring family and friends to her should the need arise. Sincerely, Dave Pointon.

Denise is a true professional. She helped me through a very complicated divorce including other legal concerns. She seamlessly navigated through many changes that started with a collaborative approach and then turned litigious. Knowing I did not want to head down months of court dates and battles. Denise had a great strategy for getting back to collaboration and moved quickly when we had agreement from my ex. With ever shifting moods, this was a huge advantage. Denise is very responsive and helpful. She is also very fair in her rates and billing. I highly recommend Denise.

I highly recommend Denise! Not only is she incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but she is also extremely compassionate and caring. She helped make this very difficult process much easier for me. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and always felt like she had my back. Her response time was amazing and that's so important when you have pressing questions you need answered. I can't speak highly enough of Denise and everyone at Erlich Law Office for their excellent service and support!

Denise was my attorney during my recent divorce. She did a phenomenal job - from the very beginning she walked me through every step of the process so I knew what to expect. Denise took the time to prepare me for everything and she was always there for me when I needed answers, providing support beyond that of an attorney. She cares for her clients. She fought very hard for me, like I had a team of attorneys, not one attorney. She managed to obtain a good settlement for me during a tough situation. Once everything was finalized, Denise sent me a letter containing all the matters that I needed to take care of and the timeline to do it, which was very helpful as the last thing I felt like dealing with after a long divorce was to keep track of everything. Denise did it for me! She is very thorough and professional and I am so happy she was my attorney.

My divorce was recently finalized. I started out with another lawyer, but switched to Denise shortly after. Boy, am I glad I did! Going through my divorce was like walking through hell, but luckily I had Denise as my guide. She was right there with me every step of the way making sure I avoided the dangers and pitfalls. I can't speak highly enough of Denise! She's a hardworking attorney that's always available. There were times when I emailed her late at night, not expecting a response until the next day, but I received a reply within minutes. I always feel like I'm her priority because she listens and answers all my questions. I never feel like she's rushing me or trying to get me off the call. I never feel like I'm just another billable account. Denise is an expert in negotiations. She's flexible when she needs to be and absolutely unwavering when she has to be. She's honest and doesn't sugarcoat things. She sets realistic expectations which helps guide my decision-making process. In a divorce, the little details makes a huge difference, and when the PA and MSA came around, her attention to details helped me navigate the intricacies of the terms and their implications. My case also involved a Guardian ad Litem (GAL) for my children, and Denise's experience as a GAL was invaluable to me in dealing with that situation. With her experience, she guided me in how to present my case to the GAL for a positive outcome. I believe that Denise is not only an great lawyer, but she is also a compassionate human being. She was there for me during the most difficult time in my life and I appreciate her very much! Highly highly recommended!!!

Denise Erlich was the attorney who represented me during my divorce and her performance on my behalf was OUTSTANDING in every way! Her work products were excellent and she set very short timeframes and never failed to meet them. Denise’s turnaround time was also extremely fast. She explained different parts of the process and documents in a way that was totally understandable and it was the same for any questions I had for her. During a time that was unpredictable, confusing, and extremely difficult I deeply appreciated the legal representation I received from Denise Erlich!

Going through a divorce is extremely difficult. Having an attorney like Denise made the process easier. She is not only extremely professional and knowledgeable but she is caring, compassionate and comforting. When negotiating the parenting agreement, I would ask her if we could incorporate certain terms that were not necessarily standard. She would tell me we could ask for them but the other side would need to agree. She was honest with me but in such a way that helped me feel more confident about the agreement being created in my child’s best interest. Denise had prepared me for what would happen in court on the actual day of my divorce. I was much more emotional and nervous that I thought I would be. It was very unexpected. Being prepared for the process and having Denise standing next to me and waiting with me while we waited for the paperwork, made an otherwise unsettling experience bearable. I have had to reach out to Denise after my divorce on several occasions and she always makes herself available to listen and give me advice and counsel. I highly recommend Denise. No one wants to be in the position of going through a divorce but having an attorney like Denise makes all the difference.
