Click to report rating    6/11/24   2     1     1     1     1   He is disorganized, egotistical, preys on his clients fears, insists on unncessary work, his staff is weak, work quality is marginal, and keeps his clients in the dark. He won't answer basic questions with straight answers all in order to create uncertainty and justify more billable hours. He calls for random unnecessary meetings, including several staff members to pump his billable hours. His fees are grossly excessive and overbills for everything for marginal work. My ex-wife's lawyer ran rings around him during mediation. He spent more time advocating for himself vs fighting for me. The best day ever was when I fired him. Avoid this lawyer at all costs...... his is what bottomline awful and a fee scammer RID: 269889
     11/9/23   2     1     1     1     1   I was completely blown away as to how this man was able to practice law. All he did was talk about his travels, his knowledge, his superiority in life, his adventures, his greatness, all the while billing me by the minute. After I was smart enough to go elsewhere, I was relieved to see him not practicing law, but it now appears he's in practice again. Please, please beware. RID: 267547

Click to report rating    12/4/19   1     1     1     1     1   likes to create alot of turmoil and controversy in order to bill . Knowledge of the law is very poor, litigation skills and common sense are just not there. He is better suited for a job where he has little interaction with people RID: 216690

Click to report rating    12/12/17   5     2     5     5     5   Edwin Flak is a force to be reckoned with. He is the most human lawyer on the face of this earth. I highly recommend Mr Flak to not only guide your legal matters but to allow him free rein to do what he excels at, the law! A husband, a father and a lawyer who feels every step of the journey with compassion and intelligence. There is only one lawyer and your choice should be Edwin Flak. RID: 193911

 7/11/14   5     5     5     5     5   Edwin Flak is a superb lawyer who has worked tirelessly toward finding creative solutions for our custody, access and support issues. He rescued my children from a very difficult access conflict more than 10 years ago, so I am relying on him again in a contentious child support case. His vast legal knowledge, coupled with his compassionate understanding of people, inspires confidence. In addition to being highly intelligent, he is also extremely knowledgeable in many areas including science and medicine, which has been particularly useful, since my children’s disease has played a prominent part in our case. Highly recommended. RID: 139510

 7/10/14   5     5     5     5     5   Edwin Flak and his staff were extraordinarily helpful not only with legal matters and negotiations but also by providing help with financial issues that went far beyond what I would have expected from a law firm. They showed extraordinary sensitivity to all aspects of the process leading to a mediated agreement, thus avoiding the costs of litigation. I was very impressed with all aspects of the help and advice received from this firm. RID: 139461

 5/8/14   5     5     5     5     5   Although it was an expensive and long process, I have a Separation Agreement that protects me and my child. I truly cannot imagine another lawyer having the commitment and knowledge to have gotten through my situation, plus the ongoing support. RID: 136503

 5/7/14   5     5     5     5     5   I was facing very serious financial and professional problems because of Court orders that had been awarded against me that were impossible to comply with because my previous counsel had failed to communicate my financial position to the Court. As a result I was on the brink of bsankruptcy but at the last minute was referred to Mr Flak. To say that he was my white knight would be an understatement. He was able to restore my standing before the Court and ultimately to obtain a settlement that was workable and fair to all parties. His tenacity and strategic way of practicing family law made all the difference and led to a result that restored my faith in the judicial system RID: 136486

 4/17/14   5     5     5     5     5   I have worked with Edwin on a number of family law matters having dimensions in trusts and estates law. In his approach to problem-solving, Edwin consistently demonstrates an exceptionally high level of strategic thinking that is strongly complemented by deep insight into human behaviour. Edwin also impressed me with the degree of empathy and understanding he displays for his client's issues and a readiness to engage appropriate extra-legal professionals in a proactive manner to assist his clients in a way that one simply does not expect from a lawyer.

Click to report rating    10/20/11   5     5     5     5     5   I have had legal problems with my highly educated, very vengeful ex-spouse for over 20 years. Mr. Flak protected my interests on several occasions through those difficult years. Mr. Flak displayed a rare combination of toughness and fairness in dealing with my extraordinarily difficult spouse. He was always compassionate and understanding with me. He sees things the way they are. He is an excellent lawyer and person. RID: 53644
     7/20/11   5     5     5     5     5   Edwin is the best lawyer I have dealt with in my many long years divorce case. He was referred to me by a friend who was so happy with him that I met with him then switched from my previous lawyer. He not only offers his great knowledge of the law but also displays human caring and compassion. He has moved my case along quickly and efficiently. I am so thrilled to have made the move as both Edwin and his team are simply the best! RID: 48819
     5/20/11   5     5     5     5     5   Edwin Flak and his associates represented me through all aspects of my complex divorce proceeding. His strategy and approach to the case was precise and effective. He provided a creative approach to resolve my issues in an expeditious and effective manner. He has a strong court room presence and argued strenuously for my rights and ensured I received the best legal representation. Mr. Flak is an honest, intelligent and committed lawyer with the ability to analyze complex legal issues. I recommend Mr. Flak whole heartedly. RID: 45992
