  • By Jordan C. on Apr. 14, 2026
    Hired Law firm 2024
    Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group, specifically the attorney they assigned, Chris, was irresponsibly negligent with my case. My attorney Chris would barely give me the time of day, only talking to me while waiting on line for a dinner reservation or while panting on the treadmill at the gym. We worked together for weeks and weeks, only then, DURING THE FIRST BREAKOUT SESSION WITH THE JUDGE, Chris tells me my goal of seeking sole custody is unreasonable and he would not pursue it. He had already racked thousand of dollars of work pursuing this goal, only to tell me that he would try to get the judge to make my ex allow my son to enter therapy, which she had already agreed to do! Then, I wanted to get visibility to child protective services records opened against my ex, and the judge was so close to giving it to us, and Chris lost the argument to a lawyer who passed the bar about ten minutes before the case, because she had a clearer understanding of the difference between "reasonable" and "necessary." You should not use this firm. They do not care about you, they will not take you seriously, and they will laugh all the way to the bank.

    Choosing this firm was the best move I could’ve made. My attorney was thoughtful, strategic, and fierce when it came to getting a positive outcome for me and my child. If you’re looking for someone who’s both smart and compassionate, they’re it.

    Recommends this Law firm
    At a time of great personal turmoil, the unparalleled expertise and compassion of Carmela Novi and the entire team at Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group was nothing short of a godsend. My divorce contained a significant child custody dispute that was incredibly overwhelming, but Carmela gave me immediate reassurance that we would get through this. Her approach was both thorough and empathetic. Her commitment to safeguarding the best interests of my child while ensuring I was informed and comfortable every step of the way was remarkable. The firm is excellent. Everyone you deal with is so caring. I genuinely felt like I had more than just an attorney — I had a team of champions by my side. For anyone facing legal challenges, especially those involving the delicate nature of family, I wholeheartedly recommend Carmela and Weinberger Divorce & Family Law Group.
