“DON’T HIRE ANYONE ELSE! Roanne has been my lawyer for the last 3 years and has been incredible! My divorce was uncontested and finalized within 6 months of filing however, because my ex was abusive, we have had a very messy custody battle complete with social services reviews, custody evaluations, protective orders, and criminal trials. Roanne has been there every step of the way. She is very easy to get into contact with, responds quickly, always returns phone calls within hours, no matter if the office is open or not. She goes through each detail of the case with a fine-toothed comb, collecting/requesting whatever necessary evidence is needed. She has been ahead of the game through my entire divorce/custody battle; filing motions and requests before my ex does and preventing them from blindsiding us. When we file, she has always thoroughly explained what may happen (how the ex’s lawyer may respond/file) in response to the filings, and she has been right EVERY time. She is by far the most moral and ethical person I’ve ever met. When my ex hurt my children and was criminally charged, she admitted to me that she was not equipped to handle the child abuse portion of the case and helped me to find a lawyer that could. She and the child abuse lawyer currently work together on our custody case. I have the upmost respect for Roanne because of that. Instead of exploiting the opportunity to collect more money, she admitted she was ill-equipped for that portion (without being asked) and then went above and beyond in helping me find another lawyer to help. Due to her honesty, my children are now safe and doing well. She is extremely knowledgeable in family law/custody/divorce and always realistic. She gives me the facts and never inflates our chances of winning. Roanne will often tell me “Our chances are good, but anything can happen”. She has repeatedly told me she’ll never promise we’ll win because of that. That being said, Roanne has moved mountains to ensure the safety of my children and continues to do so. I have recommended several friends who are in custody battles or are facing divorce to her. They are all equally pleased. Additionally, she is affordable (I tell her she doesn’t charge enough) and easy to work with on a payment plan. I cannot speak highly enough of Roanne. She is genuinely a great lawyer, and a great person. Hire her.“

“I cannot say enough about SBWD Law. I’ve never had to contact a lawyer before an incident in 2016. My wife and I were involved in an accident. I contacted Mr. Weiner and shortly afterwards Catherine and Kirsten were visiting my wife and I at rehab. We cannot say enough about those two and the firm, the integrity, professionalism and compassion shown to us was impeccable. I highly recommend SBWD Law, for they will right for your rights with compassion. Thanks to all that handled our case.“

“My experience with the law firm of Schlachman, Belsky, Weiner & Davey, P.A. was extremely positive. Mr. Belsky and Mr. Wright were my attorneys for the duration a very complicated case which took place in 2017. I was so impressed by their dedication and by the care my case received. They gave me great advice and frequently called to check on my health and keep me updated. I truly felt their focus was on justice for my case and not just money. No other attorney would consider taking my case but they were up for the challenge and justice was served. I highly recommend this law firm!“

“While having the unfortunate experience of being served with a protective order from my ex-wife in an attempt to gain some sort of leverage in custody of our child, I had attorney Chaz Ball represent me in my case. His diligence and professionalism made me feel confident during the process that everything was going to end up fine. In addition, he went above and beyond by always being available and helping me prepare for trial. I feel very fortunate to have had him represent me. And he has given me a new perspective on the kind of resources I have available with aggressive representation at my disposal. I’m very appreciative of everything he has done.

“I was falsely accused and was later criminally charged for sexual assault, whereas, I was the victim. I was the one that was sexually assaulted by the female that lied on me and who later continued to sexually harass me. Mr. Chaz Ball listened to my case and asked me to provide all witnesses and evidence. With his professionalism and intelligence as a criminal lawyer, based on evidence provided and testimony of witnesses, my false accuser was exposed in court in front of the judge and jury. Mr. Chaz Ball’s opening statement was superb, his cross examination was outstanding and his closing statement left me speechless. If you really need a super criminal defense lawyer, this is the best in this area. One thing that I know for sure about him is that,he is a good listener, super lawyer that will legally and technically grill truth out of your plaintiff and you as a defendant.“

“I June of 2016 my wife and I were involved in an accident while on our motorcycle. After spending a week in shock trauma and then being transfer to a rehabilitation facility, I felt we might need to be protected so I choose to contact a lawyer, never having to do this before. I was nervous and unsure.

“Being familiar with SBWD Law Firm I contacted Herb Weiner, and within a few days he sent Catherine Dickinson and Kirsten Bancroft to where we were at for rehabilitation.

“These two wonderful women made my wife and I feel at ease, they immediately showed professionalism and compassion towards us. We knew form that point forward we were going to be represented and well taken care of.

After almost 2 years of relentless and sometimes frustrating work Catie and Kirsten never gave up. We were in contact with them throughout the whole time period always keeping us posted on the process of the case.

My wife and I cannot say enough good about SBWD Law Firm and all the staff associated with them, they made of feel like family. We still keep in touch with them to this day and consider them family.”
