Meet Your Divorce Guide

Scott Kalish

Chances are you have already ridden an "emotional rollercoaster" getting to this point. You probably fear that once you begin the formal legal process, your life is first going to get even worse, before it gets better. At the same time you're worried what will happen to your children...

This does not have to be true. You need solid support and resources to get you through this difficult time. You need a family lawyer that prioritizes communication with clients. At every step of the way you must stay informed and know your rights.

In family law cases, as in any type of legal matter, knowledge is power. You must know and understand what is happening so that you can have peace of mind that you and your family's future will not suffer.

After studying my clients, personally observing the opposing spouse during my cases, speaking ato other attorneys, and paying close attention to their mindset and behaviors through hundreds of cases, I've learned a lot about what makes a divorce case successful and which sides get the custody arrangements that they want. In this presentation I'll share some of the most important lessons with you...

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are many attorneys who know the law, but it is rare to find one who is also a truly good human being. Scott is one of those rare people. Throughout my divorce case, Scott demonstrated not only outstanding legal knowledge and professionalism, but also compassion, integrity, patience, and genuine concern for my well-being. During one of the most difficult and stressful periods of my life, he was always there to guide me, answer my questions, and help me understand every step of the process. What impressed me most was that Scott never treated me as just another case file. He listened, he cared, and he always made me feel that my concerns mattered. His calm demeanor and honest advice gave me confidence when I needed it most. Scott is not only an excellent attorney—he is a man of character. He treats people with respect, kindness, and dignity. In today’s world, those qualities are just as important as legal skill, and Scott possesses both in abundance. I would also like to thank his entire office staff. They were always professional, courteous, responsive, and supportive. Every interaction with the office was positive and reassuring. I cannot thank Scott enough for helping me through this challenging chapter of my life. Because of his hard work, dedication, and genuine care for his clients, I was able to move forward with peace of mind. If you are looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also a truly caring and compassionate person, I recommend Scott without hesitation. I will always be grateful for everything he and his team did for me. Thank you, Scott. Your professionalism, kindness, and humanity made a lasting difference in my life.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I first contacted Scott, I knew I had found the right attorney for my divorce. He is highly professional, truly cares about his clients, and has a deep understanding of the complexities of divorce law. The team at Kalish & Jaggars was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. I was kept informed at every step, and all of my questions were answered promptly. Although my case was expected to be straightforward with no children involved, it became more complicated due to the other party. Scott handled each issue calmly and effectively, ultimately helping us reach a settlement I was very happy with. I can't thank them enough for guiding me through this process. If you need legal assistance with a divorce, I highly recommend Kalish & Jaggars.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am incredibly grateful for Dara Jaggars’ representation during a very difficult and stressful divorce process. She is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly understands the financial and legal complexities involved in family law cases. Dara was proactive in addressing discovery issues, clear in explaining my options, and firm when it came to protecting my rights. She took the time to walk me through each step, answered my questions honestly, and made sure I felt supported and informed throughout the process. What stood out most was her attention to detail and willingness to push when the other side was not being transparent. I felt like she genuinely cared about achieving a fair outcome and ensuring I wasn’t taken advantage of. I would highly recommend Dara Jaggars to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated family law attorney.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience working with this firm for my custody case, specifically Serena Pomeranz. I had absolutely no experience with the legal system or even knew where to start, especially with all the back-and-forth headaches from the mother and the court. They stepped in and guided me through every step, making the process as easy as possible. They were always responsive, patient, and willing to explain anything I didn’t understand. I truly felt supported the entire way. I’m extremely grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone needing a family attorney.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first visited the office for a free initial consultation with attorney Scott. He is a gentle and calm gentleman, and I felt no pressure at all during our meeting. It was clear that he genuinely wanted to help and always kept the client’s best interests in mind. After interviewing four different attorneys, I decided to work with this law firm. Scott referred me to his  attorney team member Serina. She took the time to listen and offered me sincere advice. While I didn’t fully follow all of her recommendations, I truly appreciated her determination and effort to protect her clients and fight for their rights. She is professional, composed, and very cool under pressure. This was my first experience hiring a divorce attorney, and the office staff went above and beyond to track the progress of my case. They guided me through each step so I never felt lost or overwhelmed. The firm’s fees are transparent, with clear and detailed billing. I am deeply grateful for their help and support throughout this process. 🙏❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Scott Kalish provided invaluable support during my divorce process. Initially, I worked with another attorney, but I quickly realized that not all board-certified family law attorneys possess the same level of expertise or genuine care for their clients. I discovered Mr. Kalish through his highly informative podcasts, which I strongly recommend to anyone going through a divorce. His episodes are packed with valuable insights into family law and feature expert speakers specializing in various aspects of divorce and family law. Scott went above and beyond to understand my unique situation and what I was experiencing. I was facing a particularly challenging divorce that demanded a lot from my attorney, and Scott consistently rose to the occasion—being there for me every step of the way. His honesty, integrity, and dedication made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Scott Kalish to anyone seeking an attorney who truly cares, is honest, and operates with the highest level of professionalism. -Brad

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Google only allows us put 5 stars for Dara Jaggers, but we'd give more if we could. After consulting many attorneys we knew instantly after speaking to Dara that she was who we wanted to represent us through our ridiculous and exhausting child custody battle. We were in such a state of worry, anxiety, and depression, not knowing what was going to happen, or if we would ever get the kids back, but Dara was so compassionate and patient. She understood exactly what we were going through and fought hard to make things right. In the end we got everything we were hoping for, and we are forever grateful to her. Thank you Dara!!! ❤️

Very helpful with concerns and honest as well. I was able to get my daughter back with me majority time so I was finally able to enroll her in school. They did it in fantastic fashion and were able to help me get her back in under a year. Now I know everyone’s situation is not the same, so I know results may vary. But they worked very hard to get the best end result possible. I can’t thank them enough for making it possible.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been waiting for the day to officially leave a review! Scott and Dara have been nothing short of incredible. Scott was the primary attorney on our case and he handled every aspect of the case professionally and in a timely manner. Dara was equally as amazing and picked up the case wherever Scott left off. He provided countless explanations to us and answered all of our questions. We felt well prepared and supported throughout a stressful and emotional process. Scott started and finished our custody case in under a year. He secured us a positive outcome for our child and she is now thriving in all aspects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend turning to Kalish & Jaggars with any legal needs you may have. My difficult and lengthy family case, involving an international element, non standard time sharing requirements etc., was most likely going to turn into court trial. Having reviewed my options at a previous law office and subsequently discussing potential strategy with Scott during an online consultation, I decided to secure his services. His extensive experience as a prosecutor, court room lawyer with an extraordinary knowledge of procedure made me feel at ease. It turned out Scott was able to conclude the case via mediation. In a process, I managed to get to know Scott as a very hard working, dedicated and reliable attorney of high personal values and integrity. Not only was he able to achieve a positive outcome of the case in a short time but remained deeply involved at every stage of the process. He was ready to resolve any issues along the way and remained in contact at all times that required his immediate response. In short, he is an excellent lawyer, skilled and talented professional and simply speaking a good, trustworthy person. I would also like to thank his assistant, Gabriel, for staying on top of all matters and facilitating paperwork, dates, appointments etc. Lastly, services of Kalish & Jaggars turned out to be very reasonably priced and they were also very accommodating when it comes to payment for their work. As my case came to a conclusion, I have decided to rely on Scott’s expertise for any legal representation going forward.

Going through a divorce is never easy, but they made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. From the very beginning, they were professional, compassionate, and truly had my partner's best interests at heart. Most importantly, they fought for what mattered most—time with his children—and got him exactly what he needed regarding time-sharing and the divorce settlement. Their knowledge of family law, attention to detail, and dedication to his case were unmatched. They were always available to answer his questions, kept him informed at every step, and made sure he was never left feeling uncertain about his rights or options. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will genuinely advocate for you and your family, Kalish and Jaggars is the one you want in your corner.

She was in constant contact with me throughout the process, she was proactive and explained everything clearly with precise. Even with unusual questions she would always give me an answer to not have me worry. Contacting Dara and her firm was the best move I ever made after several attempts with trying to find the right lawyer for my custody case. Dara finalized my case and I have been very satisfied with the outcome as well as making sure that making modifications in my parental plan wouldn't be an issue in case I needed to relocate. Don't look any further because this firm cares about YOU and prepares you for what's to come depending on your situation.
