That is just one of the "nuggets" this most excellent of attorneys gave me after I asked her if what I was requesting was out of line when my (attorney himself) soon-to-be ex-husband was dragging his heels yet again and continuing to throw road blocks our way to delay movement in our case. I so appreciated Tanya's honest communication. She was indeed not a mere taxi driver blithely taking me wherever I demanded. Instead, she was the ultimate professional I had hired and entrusted my and my children's financial future in. She made sure to listen to my requests while guiding me toward my ultimate goal with as fair an outcome as possible. I cannot recommend Tanya more highly. She is knowledgeable, honest, responsive, funny, and... when I needed her to pull out the "we're done being on your merry-go round with you so if you don't __________, these three things will happen" card, she was AMAZING! All of my friends have heard of my "Tanya stories," and when she showed up at the "Finally Free" party I organized for myself to thank all my friends and support network, I knew my invite list wouldn't be complete without her presence. Tanya came to my party, and when I introduced her to my friends, there were exclamations of joy and thanks showered on her (and lots of, "Can I hug you?" questions)! I have recommended all of my friends (and friends of friends) to Tanya, and now I am happy to recommend her to strangers here on this site as well.
