What Our Clients Say About Us

I had been with my previous attorney for almost eight months. He kept telling me to be patient while my husband's lawyers ran circles around us. By the time I found Mysha, I had already given up significant ground on the asset split. Within her first two weeks she identified three procedural errors my old lawyer had missed and used them to reopen negotiations. We ended up with a settlement I genuinely thought was impossible. I left that marriage with the house, my retirement account, and my dignity intact. Mysha didn't just represent me — she restored my faith that the system could actually work.

My ex hired a large firm with four attorneys. I was terrified walking into that courtroom. Mysha was calm, precise, and completely prepared. She cross-examined witnesses with questions that cut right to the heart of everything my ex had been saying about me. The judge granted me primary time-sharing and restricted my ex's overnights. After the ruling the judge actually complimented how the case had been presented. I've told every person I know who is fighting for their kids to call PurLaw first — not after they've already lost ground to a bad lawyer.

I called three other lawyers before Mysha. All three made me feel like a case number. Mysha picked up the phone herself on a Friday afternoon. She listened to my entire story without interrupting. Then she laid out a realistic timeline, told me what to expect emotionally and financially, and didn't oversell anything. We resolved everything through mediation in four months. My ex and I still co-parent without drama because Mysha structured the parenting plan so thoughtfully. For something I thought would destroy my life, the whole process was as smooth as it could possibly have been.

After 22 years, untangling a business, rental properties, 401Ks, and a pension was going to be a nightmare no matter who I hired. My previous attorney had no idea how to handle a business valuation and kept stalling. When I switched to Mysha she immediately engaged a forensic accountant, got discovery moving, and put together an argument for why the business appreciation was separate property. We avoided a forced sale. My company is still running. The settlement was fair and I can actually move forward. If you have any meaningful assets in a divorce, do not try to do this without someone like Mysha.

I was in a dangerous situation and couldn't afford to wait. I left a voicemail for three other attorneys and got callbacks three days later. I called PurLaw at 10am. Mysha called me back within the hour, assessed my situation, and had my emergency petition filed by 3pm. The temporary injunction was granted the next morning. She then represented me through the full hearing and the order was made permanent. She was professional and calm during a time when I was anything but. Her speed and competence protected me when hours genuinely mattered. I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life.

My ex gave me two weeks notice that she was relocating with our children to Seattle. I had shared parental responsibility and she was treating it like a suggestion. I called four attorneys on a Tuesday morning. Only Mysha said she could have a motion filed by end of week. She filed Wednesday. Emergency hearing set for Monday. The relocation was blocked pending a full evidentiary hearing, which Mysha also won. My kids went back to school locally on Thursday. I don't know what would have happened to my relationship with my children if I hadn't found her in time. She fought like they were her own kids.

My fiancée and I were nervous to even bring this up with each other. We walked into Mysha's office half expecting it to feel adversarial. She immediately put us both at ease, explained that a prenup is just a financial planning tool — not a prediction of failure. She made sure both of us understood every clause, suggested provisions I hadn't even thought of, and made sure the agreement was actually fair to both parties. We signed six weeks before our wedding, completely stress-free. We've actually told other engaged couples to do this. The peace of mind it provides is worth everything.

My first attorney billed me $40,000, missed three deadlines, and left me in a worse position than when I started. I was ready to give up and just accept whatever my ex offered. A friend insisted I call Mysha. She reviewed the case in a single weekend and told me exactly what had gone wrong and what could be salvaged. She renegotiated my alimony terms from scratch, corrected the asset inventory, and brought us to mediation where we settled on terms that were genuinely fair. I wish I had found her when this started — but I'm endlessly grateful I found her when I did.

Mysha handled my original custody matter in 2022. When my ex moved back to the area and tried to use that as grounds to increase his time-sharing dramatically, I immediately called PurLaw again. She knew my case history inside and out, filed a motion to maintain the status quo, and we went through a modification hearing where she demonstrated that the existing schedule was working and shouldn't be disrupted for the kids. The judge agreed. Same result, different year, same incredible attorney. I don't think I will ever hire anyone else for any family law matter as long as I live in Florida.

My divorce was filed right as Florida's alimony reform law went into effect. My previous lawyer had no idea how to apply the new statutory framework and kept giving me advice based on the old law. I switched to Mysha mid-case. She had been tracking the legislative changes closely and filed arguments that were perfectly calibrated to the new law. My permanent alimony exposure was transformed into a durational structure that was dramatically better for my financial future. Her depth of knowledge on how the law was changing in real time made a six-figure difference in my case outcome.

I found out I had a child I hadn't known about. The mother was resistant to any formalized arrangement and I was terrified I'd never get to be part of my child's life. Mysha walked me through the paternity process with patience and clarity. She pushed for genetic testing, got it done quickly, and once paternity was confirmed she had a time-sharing petition ready to file the same week. We went from nothing to a structured parenting plan with regular overnights in four months. My child and I now have a relationship because Mysha fought to make sure that was possible. That's not a case — that's a life changed.

My ex and I wanted to end our marriage without destroying each other. We had tried to go through another attorney who claimed to do collaborative law but kept pushing us toward litigation. Mysha actually practices what she preaches about collaborative process. She mediated every disagreement without losing sight of our goal: a fair settlement and a preserved co-parenting relationship. We were divorced in five months. We sat at our son's Little League game together last week. That doesn't happen when attorneys push you into combat. Mysha understood what we needed and delivered it.
