Unfortunately, my divorce was extremely high conflict. I wanted to settle, but my ex did not, and he hired a very sneaky, contentious, fight-to-the-death attorney. I wanted an attorney would would take the high ground. Naomi was everything I wanted and more: she is calm, articulate, has excellent judgement, and -unlike other attorneys I have known- always took the time to explain everything to me in detail and answer all my questions --and always returned my phone calls! Naomi was supportive, understanding, and very present (not multi-tasking all the time the way other lawyers seem to do). I worked closely with Naomi for 2.5 years and, in spite of my ex's need for vengeance, she managed to help me get a settlement result I am very happy with. I cannot speak highly enough of Naomi; She is an absolute star, both personally and professionally.
