"I cannot express how grateful I am that I found Daria and her team. I was in the unfortunate scenario of
unexpectedly being plunged into our broken family law system. I interviewed a few attorneys and hired
one from another firm. I quickly realized I had made a mistake, as the competence of that attorney was
severely lacking and it was clear that they viewed me as an ATM. After a month of manufactured
drama/crisis and thousands of dollars down the drain, I made the decision to change attorneys. I was
referred to The Wise Law Firm by a friend of a friend, and from the start, Daria exceeded the high
expectations that I had coming in. She was very transparent about my realistic options and the most
likely outcomes. She didn't try to push the more contentious options simply to drive up her billable
hours. There was never a time when I felt like I was being 'nickel and dime'd into oblivion - their
billables are very fair and accurate and I never had to question any line item on my statements. Daria
and her team had the goal of achieving the best outcome for my family and me, and I am confident that
my case would not have had the favorable outcome that it did, had I stayed with the other attorney.
Family law is an ugly place, and I can't imagine dealing with it day in and day out, but somehow Daria
and Stephanie have found a way to insulate themselves from becoming cynical and jaded. If you are
reading reviews because Daria is your opposing counsel, I can say with confidence that Daria is as
professional of an opponent as you will find. She is not manufacturing drama/conflict in an effort to
drive up the billables and the duration of your case. If you have already hired another attorney and are
having doubts, I would highly suggest making a switch - it's not worth it to stay with an attorney that
you don't have full confidence in - the figurative and literal costs are far too high.
TLDR: If you are looking for a family law attorney, I cannot recommend The Wise Law Firm enough."
