I am very pleased with the work Robert did for me. Robert was very responsive to my concerns and easy to work with. He was on top of all the chaos of changing court dates. He met all deadlines. His advice was sound. I especially appreciated his trial run-throughs. I have no hesitation recommending him to others. He was very effective. And the staff at Lvovich & Szucsko, P.C were friendly, efficient and professional.

I hired Robert to help me with what I thought would be a straightforward divorce that turned into an epic situation where the other side just didn't want to participate in a shared reality. Robert's sense of humor and incredible knowledge of the law helped keep me absolutely safe and sane throughout a process riddled with surprise motions and more. I ended up being able to settle for a number that was really manageable for me, and Robert was an excellent guide through complicated issues around spousal support (which I was being asked for), health insurance, and more. He was an invaluable resource on questions I had like, can I date? Can my parents buy me property? What on earth is going on with opposing counsel? The divorce was the most emotionally difficult thing I've ever had to go through; working with Robert meant that I had the time and space to focus on processing my feelings and emotions because I felt financially and legally protected by him and his team. I knew that he was really on my side, and would use every avenue available to him to make sure that I got out of this with a fair and equitable settlement. When it looked like we were going to have to litigate, he explained what that might look like, and helped me to see that this didn't mean that my life was over. And then we settled! I truly hope never to get divorced again because it was just so personally wrenching, but I would absolutely work with Robert again if I had to time travel and do it all over again. 10/10 recommend.

Robert Rathmell is an excellent attorney. I had to hire him during a very contentious and stressful child custody case. My daughters and I were in need of protection from the Courts in a case that involved nuanced mental health issues on the part of the other party. Robert communicated our story effectively to the Courts and kept us safe. He was kind and thoughtful during the entire stressful ordeal. I would hire him again and recommend him anytime.

I went to Robert after 8 years of failed attempts to bring the other party to mediation related to family law matters. Robert and his associate, Lisa Pinelli, walked me through each step of the process to bring the other party to to the mediation table. Once there, they advised me on how to complete mediation successfully (with another firm) over a period of one year, avoiding court and keeping the focus on my kids' well-being. Robert and Lisa were responsive, displayed professionalism that always put my kids first and, most importantly, shared a passion for family law and a high level of commitment to their work. I highly recommend Robert and Lisa for family law-related matters.

Robert helped me through my divorce with kindness and professionalism. I appreciated how he patiently explained the process and outlined what was needed every step of the way. He consistently responded to my emails within an acceptable amount of time and didn't go over budget. Additionally he was honest and thorough. For example during our first meeting Robert gave me a timeline and we stuck to it all the while we meticulously collected everything he needed to get the job done. Throughout the process I felt confident that my case was in good hands. Not only was he efficient but he showed me that he cared about my case and made me laugh when things could have gotten dark. A divorce is something that no one wants to go through but given the situation I'm glad that Robert was my attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.
