“I cannot speak more highly of their efforts to help finalize my divorce. They were extremely thorough in capturing all relevant details, empathetic to my busy schedule yet persistent, and completely transparent throughout the entire process.
After flailing at multiple attempts to do it myself, I luckily was referred to the team through a mutual friend. They took the time to understand the complexity of my situation, capture key objectives, and outline a clear plan to complete filing with full cost and timeline estimates. Their office sent detailed reminders and invoices promptly. Each step of the process I received guidance and felt comfortable reaching out with questions without feeling like I was being "nickel and dimed". And as they took maternity leave (congrats again!) their associate gracefully guided the process through completion.
I absolutely vouch for them and the firm for divorce filings and will engage them in the future for other family law matters. Thanks again!”

“The circumstances leading me to their care were not of the warm-and-fuzzy variety. Emotionally, I was a complete code red : a tangle of devastation and pain. This was an incredibly vulnerable time in my life however, I didn't want to be coddled. I needed sound council from someone who would be straight with me and take the reigns - stat.
They immediately garnered every ounce of my trust - they were instantaneous advocates and anchors. There was no question my wellbeing was their top priority - it was not about billable hours - they honored my humanity.
Throughout, I was repeatedly impressed with their palpable brilliance, decisive nature, unflappable style, and irrepressible energy. Working together was effortless due to their vast level of competency, discerning ability to communicate clearly, and ever-present compassion.
They transformed an unfortunate experience into an opportunity for me to gain courage and grow as a human being. And, miracle of all miracles - due to their keen measures - the entire process was swift.
Their brand is a rare, rare blend of exceptional talent and enormous heart. It is my sincerest honor to recommend them - they are a credit to their profession.”

“Divorce: One of the most stressful life events anyone can experience.
I tried it the DIY way: "Yeah, I just fill out this form here, and then submit this other form, get that signature, pay something here... get a form back from the court because I forgot something, re-submit, go back to the court, wait in line, stare out of the window... slowly losing my mind... "
I tried it the cheap way: "Yeah, I just give $200 to 'MyDivorcePapers . com' and spend several nights filling out hundreds of website data...
I tried it the paralegal way: "Yeah, I just hire this paralegal for $1500 and it's all okey dokey... " 1 month later I call her: "So, where are we?" She:"Who are you?!?!"
At that point I started losing my mind and my soon to be 2nd wife almost lost it completely.
I needed the cavalry to come over the sunrise filled hill - I needed a professional! So I called my lawyer friend to ask if he has a reference and he referred me to one: Liat.
Don't fool yourself. Divorce - unlike marriage - is something for professionals. There is no way around it…I immediately felt at ease. They understood my current situation and my goal. They laid out a plan, executed it, kept me on track and in the loop - job done. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to represent me and my case.”

“I cannot recommend them enough. They have an amazing personality combination which was exactly what I needed at the time of revisiting my child custody situation. A very sharp, smart, to the point and yet very compassionate person. I felt incredibly well taken care of, well guided and supported by someone who was in the driver's seat when I couldn't be.”

“They have that rare combination -- acute intelligence, intuitive insight, emotional intelligence, and human compassion. When you hand a heart-rending issue like child custody or property division over to a person like them, you can feel confident that they will clearly communicate your options, gently disabuse you of your misconceptions, and lead you to the best solution for your family. Our families, our strength and base, are at issue here and I would trust no one else to advocate for me in this vulnerable area. In fact, after they provided me valuable guidance about a delicate family situation, my son consulted with them and they clearly advised him of his options. I would trust my son to no one else.”

“I'm so thankful that I found them to help me with my divorce! It was incredibly stressful and scary to go through this process, especially with two little ones, but they have given me the support and confidence that I need. They are extremely intelligent, level-headed, supportive, and reasonable! I was anxious in the beginning thinking that I would have to go to court, but they gave me the peace of mind that I needed to get through it and not be anxious. I would highly recommend them to anyone going through this difficult process.”

“Going through a divorce, I had no idea where to start. I heard "get a mediator!" "don't deal with lawyers" "do it yourself" and many others. I'm so glad I found them to help me through the process. They explained very clearly what to expect. I found them to be incredibly easy to work with, honest, and flexible. They didn't push their services on me... they explained my options and let me decide. Very glad I decided to let them help.”

“They are simply exceptional and I recommend them wholeheartedly. They navigated me through my divorce with professionalism, knowledge, and compassion.
In my case, my ex-husband and I began the divorce process with a mediator--hoping not to have to hire lawyers. As we progressed, complications arose and it became clear we should each hire our own attorney. They were on a very short list of referrals from my mediator. I chose somewhat randomly but knew the first time we spoke on the phone that they were who I wanted to retain.
They were a true advocate for me as a client. They got to know me, and were able to help me through the most difficult times. Every single legal issue that came up, they explained to me in detail. They both respected my wishes as a client, and also advised me stringently when I felt like just getting it all over and done with. Exactly the representation I needed.
These are exceptional attorneys. Wise, proactive, very knowledgeable about the relevant law. They are also a pleasure to work with and be around. They are witty and smart and kind and a joy to talk to. They're clearly committed to their work. They advocate passionately for their clients. Quite honestly, it's difficult to imagine how much harder the process would have been without them.

“They are amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable and effective as attorneys but also very warm and compassionate. These traits can be really important when one is going through a difficult divorce. They go above and beyond in a major way, as evidenced by a recent unrelated scare during which they made themselves available to me, consulted with other attorneys in that field of law, and helped me to remain calm. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone dealing with the difficult and complicated field of family law.”

“They are not only very smart and talented attorneys, but kind and compassionate people. It says quite a lot that I'm writing a positive review of attorneys at all.
They are not attorneys who push all the work onto the other side and bill you for God only knows what. They can be extremely aggressive, but they're also not caught up with being so aggressive that they'll burn bridges and ruin your case by upsetting everyone.
They are extremely smart. Wicked smart. You want them helping you come up with a plan. They are some of the most kind-hearted people I know. They just rule.
Divorce is a living hell. There's just no way around it. With all the suffering you have to go through, it's nice to know that you're not wasting your time or money with attorneys who aren't up to it.
I honestly see what they do as a community service. We are very lucky that they're out there helping people. I can't recommend them enough.”

“I am in the midst of a contentious divorce and custody battle. They were highly recommended to me by family friends as attorneys with solid experience in family law, including divorce, annulment, separation, property division, child custody, visitation, and alimony/spousal and child support. I was told that they just won a difficult international relocation custody case. I am impressed by their thoroughness, knowledge, and goodwill. They gave me several invaluable suggestions and understood how difficult divorce can be. They are good strategists and very incisive as to whom they are dealing with as their client and their opponent.”

“These are kind, compassionate and fierce allies. They're committed to doing right by their clients, involved, engaged, kind and present. They're super smart and willing to go the extra mile, think creatively and believe in creating the best outcome for families! An excellent attorney, anyone is lucky to have them on their side.”

“They are a person that you definitely want on your side. It is always comforting to know that you have a person who genuinely cares about the outcome of your situation, who is there if you need questions answered, and who can reassure you during those anxiety-provoking moments. Dealing with a legal matter can be a scary venture for those of us unfamiliar with how it all works, and they guided me through rough waters with the utmost of professionalism and compassion.”

“Having a right lawyer who has a great deal of legal experience makes a great difference in your life and your cases. They are an excellent lawyer. I am really lucky to know them. I am extremely pleased with their approach to work, the level of their legal skill and knowledge. They are very professional and great to work with. They are very attentive and compassionate listeners, so I feel that they are spending all of their great efforts to help me the best way. Each time I call or leave a message, they respond promptly … that makes the case work perfectly and very fast. I am really happy that my case is in their good hands. I highly recommend them if you need legal consultation and/or advocate. I am certain that they will definitely help you get to the heart of the case and will also take good care of your case. In short, I trust that they are the best of the best lawyers in San Francisco.”

“What you see is what you get with them. They have a way of putting people at ease and are reassuring without sugarcoating it and telling the client what they want to hear. They are a great listener and they care about their clients. I have never felt anything less than confident in them. I trusted them with my custody case, basically putting my life and even more importantly the fate of my daughter's in their very capable hands. They are very, very smart. Their minds work lightning fast. With their innovative thinking, they are on point with their questions and strategies. They make themselves available to their clients, making sure I was comfortable to contact them and always received a lightning-fast answer to any question that arose. I trust them 100% with my case and would do so again without any hesitancy.”
