So fortunate to have found Ms. Gherman. Ingrid settled my case in a timely fashion and to my benefit. I was well informed throughout the entire process; Ingrid communicated with me on a continual basis. I strongly recommend, to anyone searching for a family attorney, the services of Ingrid Gherman-thank you.

Ingrid Gherman is an excellent attorney. She is a real fighter. If I could give her 10 stars for tenacity, I would. Once she took my case, she was all in. Before I found her, I thought I was fighting without any help and I was worn down and worn out. She stuck with me until I got a fair settlement, a little more even than I thought was possible. Ingrid is my champion!

Bad decision to hire this unprofessional attorney. 1st hired in 2006 with the divorce lasting until 2012. The stipulations were so poorly written with loop holes and poor wording you would think it was done by an amateur. Engaged her 4 more times since due to the stipulation breaches and custody but she would stop communicating, ignoring voicemails and emails. Never in the office, Bills you for work not done. Keeps your retainer when she is fired. You don't need this kind of frustration.

Very hard to get a hold of. Office décor really sloppy. Always adjourning my case. I definitely do not recommend.

This lawyer took my case the week before my divorce trial and she turned it around in my favor. I feel so blessed to have her on my side.

Ingrid Gherman is an excellent divorce lawyer. She helped my case so that I kept my home and have custody of my children. I cannot thank her enough for her kindness and attentiveness throughout my case and trial. I recommend this attorney for anyone seeking a top notch divorce attorney.

I'm grateful to Attorney Gherman for all her help in finally ending my divorce action. My children and I are safe. I understand better the injustice system. Ms. Gherman fought well and hard against a system that often doesn't pay attention to the people and their lives. You would be well served to hire her.

This lawyer won custody of my children after I had lost all hope. She explained everything she did in my case in plain words and made sure I understood my case. When we went for trial, she was prepared and confident that we would win my children. When she cross-examined my ex-husband, the judge saw how much he had lied about me and how manipulative he was and he tried to turn my kids against me. This lawyer really cares about helping people, and worked very hard on my case. I very much recommend her

I, too, met this lawyer at a volunteer meeting. Having been to so many legal support groups, I was pleasantly surprised to have gotten so much free help both at the meeting and with some follow up with this lawyer. Unlike the poster here, I would not have expected to go to the lawyer's office for free and have any work done for free. I am greatful that she took time from both her life and her practice at these meetings to offer free advice to those of us you can't afford to hire someone. That being said, her advice to me was right on and the problem I was having, turned around as a result of her guidance at these meetings.

The only value I received was learning what not to look for in a divorce attorney. My experience was very similar to prior comments: No followup, no return calls, incompetent staff. However, she won't forget to bill you on a timely basis. I found her work product to be sloppy and I was incredibly disappointed with her service. She comes across as a nice lady and she may very well know the law. However, and unfortunately, she is incompetent at running a law practice. If you believe you are entitled to service and communication for $400+/hour, I suggest you look elsewhere.

I attended a volunteer legal clinic and met Ingrid. I left my motion for her review. I had thought about retaining her. After 9 days and many emails, Ingrid never responded once (a colleague did). I called her office to arrange my motion's return. One day no one picked up the phone all day, straight to VM. The next day a secretary promised me she would place my papers in an envelope for pick up. The messenger dropped the papers at our house - no cover, no envelope. Our 5 social security numbers exposed for anyone to take. This is against legal protocol and all common sense. No response to my email complaining about the exposure of sensitive private information. My girlfriend had arranged a meeting. She drove in 30 minutes to the city. About 5 minutes away Ingrid called to cancel due to "an emergency." Incompetence and ersatz behavior before turning over money should warn you away from this woman, no matter how nice she is. At least I only lost time, not money. Do not hire Ingrid!!!

I don't usually make comments about my experiences with professionals. However in this case I want to share my experiences with my divorce/custody lawyer so that others might benefit. I went to Ms. Gherman after two very bad experiences with divorce attorneys. It was the best decision I ever made. She helped me through every stage of my very stressful and complicated separation, divorce and custody fight. And she got for me just about everything we were asking for. Ms. Gherman really knows her stuff. I learned a great deal from her. My only complaint is that she does not always respond to my phone calls or emails in a timely manner. But I believe this to be true for all lawyers. Her secretary and staff we also very helpful. All I can say is: thank you for everything!

I was very suprised to read these posts earlier, as I have nothing but positive things to say about this lawyer. I'm thinking that perhaps these others have unrealistic expectations on what a lawyer can do for you in a divorce case. In my situation, she was very knowledgable, explained to me what was going on "behind the scenes" when work is being done that I didn't know about, and billed accurately for the work that was done. I've had a few lawyers, some of the "infamous ones" and Ingrid is the one who cares "least" about money over the others who it is clear, their money over my case is more important. One thing I did find odd, the receptionist at this office, often let people through to her without letting her know, very informal and not at all like other offices who would NEVER let you through the inner office without an appointment.

She seemed very nice, helpful and understanding during my initial consultation. Once I retained I spent a great deal of time trying to keep her organized as she was very slow with email. Her secretaries have a hard time keeping in touch with her. I lost weeks trying to schedule time with her. She would miss calls or call late. I ultimately had to find another lawyer. It's been 8 months since i requested a formal stop and release of outstanding funds that she owes me. I have 6 emails tracking my request for money back. I now have been calling daily to seek resolution and speak with her secretaries that are put in the same terrible situation I am in, no information, no commitments met. I never bother with ratings regardless of level of service. First time i feel the need to give someone a poor rating and look to see if there is any recourse for what i am still going through?

Was unreachable by phone and late for meetings. Responded only after she was told she'd been fired. Worked only a few hours and then refused to submit a bill or return what was left of her initial retainer. A terrible, terrible lawyer.

The worst! Does not know the case. Takes your money, bills for more things and never responds or finishes the job.

Avoid her at all costs. She is not interested to even hear her client but only billing. You lose any case having her and she will get all your money. If you have her, fire her immediately, it is lose-lose situation, time consuming, stress and money wasted.
