Ms. Doleva-Lecher was a tremendous advocate for my case. She kept me updated at all times, answered emails during non office hours and clearly had my best interest in mind. She also made sure that my requests were reasonable, helping to speed the process. She took my emotion out of my arguments and helped me understand what was fair. I hope to never need to use her again, but if I do ever need a divorce, I will call her first. I tell all my friends about her. She is just that good.

Kristen has been representing me for over 1 year. She knows the law, is honest, up front, timely and most important she is detailed. No matter what time of day it is or how busy she is she always responds to emails and calls. I do and will continue to refer her to all of my friends and family. If you are going through a custody litigation you need someone who knows the law and someone who is willing to fight for the best interest of the children. Kristen, does all of that. She is fair and reasonable with her billing, the office staff is warm and personable. I am glad that I have Kristen representing me.

Attorney Doleva was a great advocate for me in my custody hearing. She is strong, matter of fact, knowledgeable in the law, and will be your greatest advocate. It gave me great comfort knowing I was in good hands. I felt that she more than adequately prepared me for my court date, which kept me calm and professional.

Ms. Doleva was an outstanding and patient advocate for me, and was what I needed. I had a very nasty divorce and custody battle. Ms. Doleva was there for me, answering emails on weekends and even helping me during challenging custody exchanges during non working hours. She went above and beyond my expectations. She took the emotion out of the equation and looked at the situation for what was best for my family. She worked well with the opposing attorney for my ex, and in the end we came to a resolution that allowed me to mend fences with my ex and allowed us to co parent our children in a constructive and equitable manner, and she did her job so well, I will not have continuous court battles and should not need her services again, unlike some attorneys who will flame the fire to keep the battle going. I cannot say enough good things about Ms. Doleva. She was amazing.

Ms. Doleva-Lecher has supported me every step of the way and has been a tirelesss advocate for me and my family. She answers questions at all hours and on weekends when I expect to wait until Monday morning for a response. She explains all my options, and lets me know when I should press an issue or to let it go. She is realistic in my goals for my custody agreement. She talks me out of situations where my emotions take control and doesn't rush to court when other attorneys may act differently to rack up the bills. I cannot say enough about how professional she is. She is well known in the courthouse and is respected by her fellow attorneys, court staff and judges. She is truly the best of the best.

If you are looking for a good, quality lawyer, look no further. Mrs. Doleva-Lecher is professional, tough, thorough and gets the job done! She will go to the extreme to see that your case is well presented and she is highly qualified to do so! Mrs. Doleva-Lecher went above and beyond when she took my case on, she never backed down, she stood strong. She is extremely prompt at returning calls, emails and messages. She always delivers what she promises. I trust her completely with my custody case and every time I speak with her I am fully reassured what the next step will be if there is ever an issue. Mrs. Doleva-Lecher drove over 200 miles to represent my son and myself for custody, what lawyer would do that for their client? THIS ONE! Like I said, Above and Beyond and the Best of the Best!! Hire Mrs. Doleva-Lecher with Confidence and Pride because she will get the job done and get it done right, professionally, adequately and with much capability.

I cannot find enough superlatives to describe Ms. Delova-Lecher, she was truly a miracle worker representing me in my Child Custody case. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs legal representation in the Family Law arena. She is professional, thorough and extremely knowledgeable.

Kristen was highly knowledgeable and gave me great legal direction. She was very honest and told me the best solution for me and my legal situation and not just what I wanted to hear. She assisted me with a custody revision which began as a very stressful situation but turned out to be a solution that everyone could be happy with. She was very responsive and always got back to me in a reasonable time frame. I credit Kristen and her staff for their efforts. I would highly recommend her services.

This attorney works well as a member of a team or as a solo practitioner. Kristen is fact driven and client centered. Kristen helped our family through a very difficult custody case and is not afraid to "put herself out there" for her clients. We owe her a debt of gratitude for her knowledge, professionalism and courage.

Kristen has been a key part of my custody case, not only has she kept me updated on every aspect of my case, but she is someone I trust entirely and value as my attorney. I have very complexe custody cases and she has helped me above and beyond my cases. Kristen has empathy and compassion towards her clients and always does her best. I am fortunate to have had Kristen's help during my cases. If not for her help, I would have given up with despair,but her encouragement and knowledge made me keep going!!!!
