Valerie & Peggy, represented me on a divorce & record expungement. They were retained for me by ICADV. I was in an Domestic Abusive marriage & would still be if not for them. Due to my criminal record, past & current due to the ex, I couldn't get any assistance, decent employment, or even renting decent housing. I'd been homeless since the day I married the ex. Now, I am officially divorced. My entire record is in the process of being Expunged & life is now how it should be. This lawyer & her team are amazing. I would strongly recommend them. I thank God for them being put on my Case's! I hope to not need any further representation but if I ever do, Valerie Horvath will be the first Attorney I will call. Thank you both for everything!!!
She handled my case thoroughly and got me back to the working world faster than i thought it could be done

Valerie is a very knowledgeable, open, understanding and confident lawyer. She takes the time to listen to your issues, asks questions you didn't think about and then comes up with solid thorough advise on how to proceed. I have full confidence in her abilities and will recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance.
Valerie is thorough and exact in all her dealings, while at the same time, very pleasant and personable. I would highly recommend her for any legal work needed as she has had a varied background with experience in many fields.
Appeared to be helpful and caring in the beginning but then it seems that went away and she grew irritated with me, the case, our questions, feelings and concerns. And sent a letter/contract to be compensated for each time she or her paralegal was contacted.
