WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
May assisted me with a complex case, involving enforcement of a post-divorce marital settlement agreement, and a civil matter with a domestic violence component…She not only provided stellar legal representation, but she was also understanding and compassionate…Her knowledge of criminal law and prior experience in the field played a big role in my case. I will be forever grateful for her strength, poise and expertise.

May Cain first represented me over 25 years ago, for both family and civil litigation legal issues. I was so pleased with the level of attention and sound advice that not only do I continue to employ her whenever I need quality service, I recommend her to all close family and friends…

As a father I was handed a pretty unfair final judgment from the courts after taking my daughter’s mother to trial to fight for equal time sharing. I…lost everything I was fighting for until I hired May to help me with an appeal. May represented me successfully on the appeal and then in the trial court afterwards. It was an uphill battle but she fought and fought to get me more time sharing with my daughter and my child support adjusted correctly. A pit bull in the courtroom who knows the law and the system very well and will fight to make sure you get what you are owed. My only regret was not finding May quick enough to help me with my initial trial. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her for representation in the future if needed.

[Former] Judge Cain represents all my business interests, including litigation and appellate matters, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff…She has a killer instinct in analyzing the pros and cons…thereby saving us hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.

I was going through a rough divorce and had spoken with a few attorneys but as soon as I met Ms. Cain, I knew she would do a great job. Ms Cain made me feel very comfortable and was there for me every step of the way. She really listened to what I needed and I was very satisfied with her services…I highly recommend her and was very happy with the outcome!

Mr. Snihur created his first contract for one of my businesses in 1989. Over the years he continues to handle all our real estate and corporate matters, contracts and business agreements. All documents are carefully crafted and structured. His level of attention to detail ensured that not one of these documents has been successfully challenged.
