Barb was a great lawyer and my divorce settlement. I really felt like she had my back through the entire process but also understood the delicate nature of the stressful situation of getting divorced. She was definitely an advocate for me which I really needed at the time.

I was referred to Barb initially by a good friend after my friend's ex-husband was represented by Barb in their divorce. Even though Barb represented her ex-husband against her, my friend was impressed with Barb's professionalism, intelligence, negotiating skills, experience and reasonableness. Even though my friend, an attorney, was being represented by the top large family law firm in the city, she still referred me to Barb over her own attorney, who she liked. My case was difficult and complex because my ex-husband was an abusive husband and father with mental illness, but he was also ivy-league educated, active in the community and church, and on the surface a model, successful citizen and a persuasive liar. It took 4 years of intense high conflict divorce and custody litigation to unmask him and secure sole legal and physical custody and with my ex- only having limited supervised visitation with the children now. While he had 3 different top attorneys who bailed on him for various reasons, Barb was there through it all. The constant pleadings, hearings and trials, Child Protective Service, GAL issues, police calls, convincing scared and uncomfortable witnesses to testify for the good of the children, stress, disappointment in the family law process for failing my children and finally, justice! She is shrewd and savvy and full of hard fought experience. She was respected by all of the judges and I had 3 judges over the 4 years. She was very connected in the family law arena. She knew all of the opposing counsel we encountered, and referred me to various top notch support service providers, mediators, etc. She was compassionate and a great counselor but also firm and logical and didn't let me get caught up in emotion and off point. Most importantly, I learned a lot about the proper preparedness and organization required for litigation, the drafting of motions and responses, what are the main points that need to be addressed and what is extra or not needed. She explained everything she was doing to me so I understand why she was doing things or what shaped her position. Also, even though luckily I am not in need of her full time service, she always in responsive and makes herself available for my questions. Her staff paralegal and associates are great too and always treated me like family. I am constantly recommending Barb when anyone is in need of a family law attorney and my friends who never even met Barb but of course heard about her constantly also recommend her!

Barb represented me in my amicable divorce. I hired her on the recommendation of two friends, one of whom retained her for her divorce and was very satisfied. Barb is thoughtful and caring and her rates are reasonable. However during mediation I had a couple of negative surprises. Without going i nto too much detail, I had a couple understandings about the scope of child support and alimony that I might receive (my ex makes much more money than I do) that turned out to be wrong, all with negative consequences for me. At the end of the day I believe our settlement was fair, but at the time it was a negative surprise, which is a problem. Again, on balance things came out fine. I put that I would not recommend her because I have been asked in the past and have not done so, however I have another issue coming up and will use her to resolve it so obviously I am not entirely displeased.

When my husband of 25 years and I began the process of divorce we thought that ours would be a simple case and that we could essentially "handle" most of it ourselves. Luckily for us (and for our children), we invested in the Collaborative Divorce process and even more so that I had the Barbara walk me through the many painful conversations required. From our first conversation I knew that she would take the time to listen to me while keeping the conversation focused on a just outcome for everyone. When I wanted to speed through painful or confusing aspects, she focused me on the process that she and her wonderful team knew would save time in the end, and when I wanted to cave in altogether she would not let me abandon my own interests. Barbara said at one point: "It's obvious that the two of have you have come to this point in part because your trust has been compromised. Our goal is to use a PROCESS that you can both trust so that we can move forward." It worked. While still a painful, our children were shielded from the worst of our impulsive and hurtful "solutions" and we were able to begin the work of co-parenting them from a much more civil and stable place. I will be forever grateful.

We have been fortunate thus far to have only simple legal needs - wills, healthcare directives, power of attorney-type documents - but Judith and her team are lovely and we would happily recommend her to anyone in the area with family law needs. She has always taken a great deal of time to walk us th rough things, and she also happens to be a warm and personable professional (which is nice when discussing the grim and sobering realities of end of life planning!).

I had an outstanding experience with del Cuadro-Zimmerman, PLLC. I highly recommend the practice to all. Judith, Kendra, and Madison provided me with great advice and guidance tailored to my specific situation. They were knowledgeable, thoughtful, and action oriented. They were also quick to res pond to my many questions. This was particularly important to me because I was overwhelmed and needed a lot of guidance. I would (without question or hesitation!) use their services again if the need arises.

I have known Ms. Judith for 3 years now. She has been extremely consistent with my case and helped me obtain a reunification with my son. We did it!!! She is always prepared for court and minimizes stress for me by being informative and knowledgeable. She has a great personality and is very honest an d focused. She has great energy and always aimed for the best results possible. I pray anyone who reads this sees beyond the remarks and decides to consult with her and hire her. You will never regret it. She was also very knowledgeable with virtual court during COVID-19. She has lit up my world again when no one else was there to support. Forever I thank her and God. Keep up the career and always know your WHY as to why you’re striving forward. You can get through this. Amen. Congratulations on your success.

Judith represented our family in an adoption case, and helped make what could have been a difficult process, stress-free. She is knowledge, responsive, and was a true partner to us in ensuring that the adoption process went as smoothly as possible. She took the extra time to address our needs and I w ould highly recommend and work with her again.

I obtained Judith (Judy) as my lawyer for a probate case. She was very personable, knowledgeable and professional! Judy was always on time, wrote detailed emails and explained the everything every step of the way. Hiring Judy was the best decision for my family. I highly recommend her and would defin itely hire Judy again myself. Judy is the best lawyer hands down.
