“Sarah: Just wanted to say thanks again for your help yesterday.I am convinced that we would not have prevailed in obtaining the contempt citation if you had not questioned [XXX] on paragraph 18 at the uncontested. And given [the judge’s] critique of the way it was drafted, this was especially important. Well done. It raises the bar overall for indirect civil contempt citations.”
From a Former Client
Tears of joy certainly continue. I had resigned myself to not being awarded the suspension of visits so I was stunned when this was granted along with the stipulation of supervised visits if he complies with the therapeutic process. Clearly, the judge had doubt and was certainly concerned for [my child’s] safety. You are both passionate and compassionate and I can’t thank you enough.I do think we need to wait and see how [my spouse] reacts to all of this but for now, I am just beginning to wake up in a whole new world thanks to you and your firm.

“Mr. Broder: I want to thank you for spending so much time looking into my case and meeting with me. I’m sorry this was in vain, but am very grateful that you did all this for me and pro bono…Do you know, when I got home the day of our meeting and looked at Ms. Murray’s page, I realized it had been hers of the associates’ that had really blown me away earlier, and I said again, Holy cow. You, she, and Ms. Orland are very impressive and you three and everyone at your firm were fabulous, consistent with your reputation. I hope someday we can meet again when life is more peaceful and I am more sane.”
From a Former Client
“Chris: I want to take this time to express my sincerest thanks for your hard work, dedication and diligence on representing me at the divorce trial this week! Although the process is grueling, stressful and so full of gaps, I believe your firm did a phenomenal job for me. No doubt our side out-performed [the opposing side] and I’m confident we did everything we could to hopefully influence [the Court] to decide the case in my favor. We will see, but please know that I am extremely pleased with your skill and performance!”
From a Former Client
“Chris: I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work these past 6 months, and especially the last 2 weeks. I feel a huge sense of relief today for the first time in nearly 2 years. I just hope we can all move forward peacefully and [my spouse] gets stability back into his life. You talked me off several ledges and listened to my endless ramble through anger, fear and tears. THANK YOU!”

From a former divorce client to Attorney Orland
Chris: Sincere thanks for your guidance and efforts over the past several months. I appreciate your candidness yesterday. It is refreshing to know that even though you are in the business of making money, you still have the clients’ best interests in mind before deciding to just make a dollar. Very admirable.
From a Former Client
To Attorney Orland:You really did an amazing job for [your client]. I hope she recognizes that. I know it’s hard for clients to sometimes understand the differences between good and not-so-good lawyering, but you were truly exceptional. I was really impressed and [she] was really fortunate to have you.

Dear Eric,I’d like to start by saying how deeply I appreciate all you have done, along with your team, in working with me during this nightmare of the past several months beginning with my [ex-husband’s] rehabilitation stay. When I had nowhere to turn, you offered me your legal expertise and seasoned professional judgement, both of which have been of incalculable value to me.
