“Two for the Price of ONE!!! 

“A year ago, due to the hard work of BOTH  my lawyers, I received an ACOD in Family Court. When my case first started Robert came with me to Family Court.  After meeting with them both it was determined that Christine was going to move forward and represent me each time we needed to go before the Judge. They assured me that every aspect about my case had both of their attention and both of their input. The shame and humiliation I felt when they took on my case overwhelmed me and I never expected to be treated with kindness and respect. However, each time a phone call was made or each time I went to the office I spoke with BOTH of them and we were all on the same page.  Yesterday I received a CONGRATULATIONS note from Christine and Robert that MADE MY DAY! Today I am ACOD Free – CPS Free – I am divorced and have Full Custody of my children.  I highly recommend Christine and Robert and their wonderful staff — my life is forever changed and I am happier then I ever imagined!”

At one of the hardest and most stressful times of my life, it was so comforting to have a team at Hornberger and Verbitsky who ALWAYS responded in record speed to my questions, phone calls, emails or texts and who I felt really cared about helping me through this difficult time. It was a long few years and I am grateful to all of you. Thank you so much Rob, AnneMarie, Christine, Patty, Joan and Lawrence. Your guidance, professionalism and expertise is appreciated beyond measure.

I would give 6 stars if I could. I can't say enough good things about Robert and his firm. We were in a situation for over 2 years and I could have never made it through without Robert's experience and knowledge. He guided me through tough times when needed and his expertise could "read" the situation and make the next best move for me. He was tough when he needed to be tough (thankfully) and at the same time guided me through the process to make me feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. I would not want to go through this process without Robert and his team having my back. he helped move the case along and not waste any time or money. One last time, I 100% endorse Robert and his expertise.
