Mandelbaum Barrett PC

Dan Stone is a wonderful, bright young attorney at Mandelbaum Barrett. I want to give him a shout-out because of the concern and expertise that he demonstrated when he worked with me. I had been involved in a dispute with a big financial firm for months, and was getting nowhere. The doors were closed, and I had been sidelined. Furious, I finally turned to Richard Miller at Mandelbaum for help. As Chair of his division, I assumed it was too small a matter for him, but he kindly connected me with Dan, who, in one well placed phone call, was able to cut through the mess and get to the point. As a result, he helped me to get to a decision about the matter, and my mind is now at ease. The solution was not exactly as I'd hoped, but close enough, and, perhaps most importantly, helped me to understand and feel better about the outcome, giving me peace of mind. Who can put a price on that? Dan has a promising career in law, and I'll gladly reach out to him again if I need legal help in the future. I'm really glad he's at Mandelbaum Barrett, and on my side.

I truly do not think there are enough words to fully express how grateful I am for Xena Balcazar and everything she has done for me.

After working with multiple attorneys throughout my case, I can say without hesitation that she was by far the best. From the very first time I reached out to her, something told me she was the right person, and trusting that instinct ended up being one of the best decisions I could have made.

This past year has been one of the most difficult and emotional experiences of my life. There were times where I felt completely unheard, overwhelmed, and unsure of what the future would look like for me and my daughter. Through all of that, Xena was a constant. She was steady, responsive, and always made herself available whenever I needed guidance or reassurance. That level of support meant more to me than I can put into words.

From a professional standpoint, she is exceptional. Her approach is thoughtful, methodical, and grounded in facts. She took the time to truly understand every detail of my situation and built a strategy that was not only realistic, but effective. She never overpromised, but she always gave me clarity and helped me understand what was possible and what to expect. That honesty and transparency helped me stay grounded during a very uncertain time.

Watching her advocate on my behalf was something I will never forget. She was confident, prepared, and incredibly precise in the way she presented everything. She connected the details in a way that clearly resonated, and it ultimately led to the best possible outcome for my daughter and me. Because of her, I now have meaningful and consistent time with my child again, and that is something I will never take for granted.

What truly sets Xena apart, though, is who she is as a person. She is kind, patient, empathetic, and genuinely cares about the people she represents. I never once felt like just another case. She made sure I felt heard, understood, and supported every step of the way, especially during moments when things felt overwhelming.

There were times in this process where I felt like I was fighting an uphill battle, but she never allowed me to lose sight of what mattered most. She believed in the case, stayed focused, and guided me through every step with both strength and compassion.

I truly believe that finding Xena was not by chance. I had been hoping and praying for the right kind of support, someone who genuinely cared and would advocate the right way, and I found that in her. Looking back, I feel incredibly fortunate that our paths crossed.

If you are looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also deeply committed, compassionate, and genuinely invested in her clients, I cannot recommend Xena enough. She has made a lasting impact on my life, and I will always be grateful for everything she has done.

Very dynamic law firm with the ability to handle any situation your business may run into. My main point of contact is Damian Conforti who is always there for my team. I highly recommend Mandelbaum Barrett for any of your legal needs.
