Gloria's knowledge and professionalism made my 2017 divorce much easier to get through. While uncontested, I was extremely pleased with how quickly it was finalized (less than 6 months start to finish). Gloria provided valuable advice, particularly around the handling of parenting time for my older teens. She is very knowledgeable, responsive and direct -- all the qualities you would want in a divorce attorney.

I found Gloria to be very sound in thought with my divorce. She met with me and discussed options for my divorce (no children). She was prompt to respond with my questions!

I was sent to Gloria through my employee assistance program. We initially met to set up the retainer agreement and contract details, and Gloria was by my side through a 10 month conflictual divorce. I found her to be professional, fair, reasonable, and extremely knowledgeable in family law. She is clearly experienced, she doesn't play games and was highly responsive to my needs. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for legal counsel while going through divorce.

I found Gloria through my employer provided "Employee Assistance Program". I gave her a call and we arranged to meet at a very convenient location. We went over details regarding a divorce, no children, everything was in my name and no contesting of the divorce by my now ex-husband. Gloria explained the procedures so I could understand. No mumble jumble, just plain talk. Her personality is wonderful, she really made me feel comfortable when talking with her. Also, her assistant Aaron, was very nice and prompt as well. I would recommend Gloria and the firm to my family and friends if the needed an attorney.

Gloria Bogen was highly recommended to me by a friend. So, when I brought my divorce case to Ms. Bogen, it was because I had multidimensional concerns to address. My case involved children from a previous marriage who, along with myself and my pets had an order for protection against my spouse. She remained above the fray as I addressed multiple distractions, health crises and complications. When my health got in the way of my making reasonable choices in the divorce, she sought the help of a Guardian ad litem from the court for me the adult, not the kids. Ms. Bogen's resourceful and utilizes her multiple connections throughout the legal community to inform her client's needs, which I believe, strengthened her strategy. She's approachable. And she can give her earnest opinion within short time frames. She's not prone to posturing and will let you know what's up without equivocation. Because I am disabled and on social security, Ms. Bogen made sure that my settlement is protected from decimation by taxes, so that it can remain a resource for me for, god-willing, the rest of my life. I'm so thankful that she took my case and stayed with me through the crazy-pants thick times and was steadfast through my 'the end is never-neigh' times. She's a winner, a champion for her clients and with this experience between us, I now consider her a friend.
