      "The best decision I made over the course of my marital separation and subsequent divorce was choosing Tova as my lawyer."

      The best decision I made over the course of my marital separation and subsequent divorce was choosing Tova as my lawyer. Her expertise saved me from self-doubt and sleepless nights.

      My ex-spouse had full control of our finances. I was terrified I would never be rightfully compensated for my 25-year role as a homemaker. Tova put all the tools in place to ensure that I would be granted an equitable settlement, and she worked tirelessly on my behalf. I could not have asked for better results.

      Aside from being a gifted attorney, Tova also happens to be kind, empathetic, and nurturing. It was not her duty to provide emotional support in addition to her professional role, but she did so generously.

      Tova is exceptional in every regard. I am eternally grateful she represented me and continues to stand by me enforcing the legalities of my settlement.

      "Tova had my back!"

      Tova made the process easy and efficient for me. While going through a divorce with a young child was complicated, I always felt that Tova had my back and made sure both my child and I were protected. Tova was prompt in her responses and clear in the expectations she delivered on. She gracefully guided me through the process with a kind ear, and carefully shepherded me and my son into the next stage of my life. Thank you, Tova!

      "I wholeheartedly recommend the Gladstone, Weissman, Hirschberg and Schneider team"

      Divorce, by its very nature, is a difficult, unpleasant, and often traumatic experience. Mine was no different. When the papers were finally signed, I had been married for 40 years. Those years had been financially rewarding and dividing up of the assets was not going to be easy. The children were all grown and were productive members of the workforce so at least we didn’t have that issue. Nonetheless, it took four years from the time we separated to conclude the matter. Two and a half years to even get to the point of hiring a lawyer and then almost one and a half years to finalize. I was lucky to have received a recommendation to use Gladstone, Weissman, Hirschberg and Schneider. Both Jeffrey Weissman, the partner on the matter, and Tova Tsikis, the senior associate, were incredibly responsive, smart, and never tried to make small issues into larger ones. If I wrote to Tova at 8 in the evening, I received a response that night and not sometime the next day. I was made to feel that my matter was important and that I was in good hands. I never objected to a single bill as their billing was always fair. I wholeheartedly recommend the Gladstone, Weissman, Hirschberg and Schneider team to guide you through the difficult process of divorce.
