I was fortunate to have Grenadier, Duffett, Levi, Winkler & Rubin represent me in my divorce proceedings in 2014. I received a spousal support modification motion from my ex in 2019.

Upon contacting John, he immediately put my mind at ease. He went out of his way to ensure I understood all aspects associated with my case. John is very compassionate and dedicated. He was available anytime (and I mean anytime day or night) when I had questions, no matter how insignificant they were. It was a deeply emotional and taxing time for me and John was completely patient and understanding. John handled each and every problem, question, and request that arose over the course of four months, with due diligence, efficiency and the utmost professionalism. I could not have been happier with the outcome. The level of service provided by John is phenomenal. His extremely personable and compassionate demeanor makes working with him an absolute pleasure. John has my highest recommendation, respect and my gratitude.

I retained Ilona Grenadier after being referred to her since I was going through a very contentious divorce after a lengthy marriage. It was clear that I needed a strong attorney with experience in dealing with these types of divorces and narcissistic spouses (now former spouse) trying to lie, cheat, and manipulate the process. Ilona matched me up with Lindsay Hendrix who worked with me on a daily basis over an 18 month period until the divorce was finalized. Ilona and Lindsay have over 70 years of combined experience; if your case is a three-ring circus and seems to be headed to trial, you need a strong, experienced, dedicated, and aggressive team-which is exactly what I had. Due to my former spouse and his attorney's unbelievable nonsense, this dragged out and the divorce cost me/us a boatload of money. I did shop around initially, and every lawyer has the same hourly rates or higher. In the end-it was worth it! I otherwise, would have ended up being drowned by him if I had not had Ilona and Lindsay fighting for me to ensure I was granted all that I was entitled to "in accordance with the law". I walked away with what I wanted as his attorney finally settled the weekend before our trial was set to start. Ilona's reputation in the courtroom precedes itself, and nobody wants to be on the other side of that! While it cost a pretty penny, every one of those pennies was worth it to get out of my nightmare. Both were compassionate and sympathetic/empathetic to my situation, and there were many times that I cried out of pain and frustration on Lindsay's shoulder, I felt supported not only legally, but as a human being during the most difficult time in my life. Lindsay in her own right has years of trial experience herself, and was there for me every step of the way, in more ways than one. The wealth of knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to me and my case from Ilona and Lindsay was above and beyond. Without reservation, I recommend either and/or both of them for anyone going through a contentious divorce.
