I originally hired Attorney Elyse Segovias in 2015 for a family law/custody matter. Since then, we’ve been back and forth to court for this same matter a second time, and I’ve sought her advice at times in between when she was not actively representing me as well. Essentially, she has been my attorney for four years.
Attorney Segovias has been nothing but a straight shooter with me from day one, never out to encourage or advise me to pursue something pointless or even risky at my own expense. She is not the type of attorney to advise you based on what she knows you “want” to hear but rather based on her knowledge, personal experience as an attorney, and similar cases, what will win you your case. Further, she has always advised me to do the “right thing.” Never has she encouraged me to act outside of the court’s authority nor has she approved of any language or behavior that would do a disservice to my case or my reputation. She is as much about conflict resolution whenever possible as anything, but she will never hesitate to defend her client. Her sound advice has won me more than just my case but more importantly security for my family.
Attorney Segovias is well-organized with evidence, the type of organization that wins cases and makes you proud in court as her client. I have always been able to count on her to remember the tiniest details of my case, and some of those details are largely due to why she has been so successful with my case. Judges respect her, other attorneys in the community respect her, and people I have spoken to who have used her for representation respect her as well.
I know expenses related to representation are a very big concern with many people, as they were with me. Attorney Segovias has been fair and reasonable with me, to say the least, as we have gone through this lengthy process. She has earned every penny I have paid and has still been concerned with my financial burden more than just getting paid.
All the hard work she put in for me paid off, and I am more than satisfied with the outcome. It couldn’t have been better for my family!
I’ll put it this way, she is my attorney for anything family law now and in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone in the community seeking representation with regard to all things family law related.

There are no words to describe my appreciation and admiration for Lenny Sharon. He is one of the most kind, caring, compassionate and understanding men I have ever had the honor of meeting. We walked into his office feeling scared and confused and walked out feeling calm and confident. Lenny genuinely cares about his clients. He is easy to talk to, very understanding and he just knows how to make you feel comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. I will say without hesitation that Lenny Sharon is truly an AMAZING lawyer with a heart of gold and I would highly recommend him. Thank you for everything Lenny !
I have known Judy Andruki, Elliott Epstein, and Mara King, well. They are all excellent attorneys and have been extremely helpful and successful in helping me several times when I really needed their expertise and support. I will forever be grateful for their skills, knowledge, and professionalism.

Following my divorce, and after interviewing several attorneys, I hired Elyse Segovias. Elyse was not only easy to work with, her values of honesty and hard work aligned with my own moral compass. I would recommend her to anyone who needed assistance in navigating the legal system and here are a few of the reasons why. (Just a few!) 1. Honesty, she made very clear what she thought would happen and what was possible. 2. Hard working, she was with me every step of the way, guiding me and helping me to understand the system as it stands. She fought hard for me in the court system and during trial. (With great outcomes!) 3.The biggest; integrity. Elyse, has very high standards, and expecatations but also gets results. However she never compromised or suggested I compromise my own values, personality traits and integrity. Elyse learned who I was as a person, and understood my values and made sure we stayed true to that through this process.

I was treated very poorly by my attorney. He didn't listen to me, he was not forthcoming about conflicts of interest, he yelled at me. To top it off he invaded my personal space. Not a nice individual.

I hired Mara King to handle my divorce modification. At that time Mara came highly recommended but she was unknown to me. When I was first divorced several years ago, my lawyer mishandled my case. Because of that I went into this situation guarded and doubtful that I could find representation that I could trust. I could not have been more wrong. Mara King handled my custody issues and divorce agreement modification with care and integrity. She acted on my behalf swiftly and with a high level of professionalism and expertise. My case involved a great deal of conflict and was highly emotional. Mara and her team acted as a protective barrier against all of the harassment and nonsense put forward by opposing counsel and my ex-wife. Mara was able to work diligently within the complex issues that continued to arise in my case. She was able to help me maintain focus and sidestep the emotional roadblocks that were constantly being thrown in front of me. Mara was able to keep my case moving forward and get results for me beyond what I had hopes for. I highly recommend Mara King and her team of professionals for any legal family matter. You won’t be disappointed.

My husband and I are currently working with Elyse on a parental rights/adoption case. Elyse has been wonderful! She has always been very quick to answer any of our questions/concerns and explain our options thoroughly. She is clearly very knowledgeable in family law and incredibly confident and thorough in court. I have no doubt that she has always listened closely to our wishes and treated our case with care and concern. I would highly recommend Elyse and the Andrucki and King law firm for any family law concerns you may have.

My experience with working with Andrucki and King has been a positive experience given the circumstances. I have now used Judy Andrucki in two matters; both a divorce as well as a modification of a contact order. Judy's knowledge of family law is unmatched. She maintains professionalism in all matters. It is evident that Judy not only cares about her client's case but also cares about her client's overall well being. Her numerous years of experience provides perspective in an emotionally challenging time and she was capable of assuring me as her client that these delicate matters would be ok. I also had some interactions with Elise and was very satisfied with her work with me.
Judy was an advocate for me. She spoke up, always professionally and tactfully, as needed. She was passionate about helping to create the best possible outcome for me and the children involved. She identified and addressed concerns quickly and worked hard to ensure all aspects were considered. When it came to creating a contact schedule with very difficult components, she was capable of thinking outside the box to come up with a great solution.
I am very happy with my two experiences with this firm. The office staff was always welcoming and friendly. Michelle was detail oriented and always on top of everything. I would recommend Judy and her team to anyone in need of an attorney in the Divorce and Family Law field that desires a well educated, attentive, and hard working firm.

I had a very poor experience with this firm and strongly encourage others to seek out other firms. I felt that there was a strong bias against men and men's rights in family matters. This seemed to be a culture engrained in the attorneys and staff at the firm. It felt to me like we were immersed in the 1980's in terms of their views on divorce, custody, and parental rights. Legal matters are stressful and difficult enough to deal with. You shouldn't have to feel like you are enduring additional persecution and biases from your own representation. The other major issue I had with the firm was their billing. It really felt as though they had no interest in solving my case quickly and sought to draw things out as much as possible. In fact, the judge in my case cited in his ruling that the attorney's fees for the other side were excessive (my fees from Andrucki and King were even more than hers but my fees weren't put in front of the judge for his comment- so, draw your own conclusions). The discovery process was a disaster with having to provide the same documents repeatedly and be billed for their review. I was actually called by Ms. Andrucki and asked to email a document that I had already provided and was in my file. When questioned about this and her billing me to call to request this, she told me it "was actually cheaper for me to have her call me and ask me to resend it then to pay her for her time to search through my file to find it." Again, I would seek representation elsewhere.

This firm is amazing! Mara took over my case after 2 other local attorneys had it. She was able to accomplish what those other attorneys could not. My case was in the Court system for over 3 years. Mara took over the case in September and in January, my case was finally over and brought to a satisfactory conclusion for all involved. She was very professional and compassionate to my situation and that of my minor daughter. Her staff is wonderful and on top of things. I would highly recommend Mara and her firm to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I had the pleasure of working with Mara King for a family matter case. I would recommend her to anyone that is dealing with family matters. She was very professional, knowledgeable, prepared/advised me on what the next steps would be, answered ALL of my questions in a timely manner. She was also very caring of what I wanted and listened to all my concerns. I was clueless about this whole process and extremely stressed out, and she patiently took the time to explain and made me feel at ease which took a huge weight off my shoulders! Also every time I went into the office the office staff greeted me with a smile! Everyone was super friendly!

I had a very positive experience with Andrucj I & King. Mara King represented me in a parental rights and responsibilities case. She was always positive and lead me in the right direction, answered all of my questions, and stayed firm to what I wanted. She made the process easier on my part.Overall it was a great experience. I would recommend Mara or any of the attorneys at Andrucki & King.

My fiancé and I had a great experience working with Mara King in a parental rights and responsibilities case. She was amazing, answered all of our questions, fought for the things we wanted to accomplish, and didn't back down. She made this process very smooth and always lead us in the right direction. When she was out of the office she would always let us know who to contact if we needed assistance. I would highly recommend Mara or any of the attorneys at Andrucki and King.

I worked with Andrucki & King for my son's second parent adoption and could not have had a better experience. In every interaction I've had with Andrucki & King, I have found them to be a highly competent, caring and ethical practice. Elyse Segovias specifically was wonderful to work with -- generous with her time and knowledge, responsive to my many inquiries, clear and fair fee structures, and excellent at guiding us through the legal process. I highly recommend this firm and would work with them again should I require legal representation in their areas of practice.

I have had the privilege of working with Mara King, who I hired to handle my divorce case. Mara and her team were outstanding in dealing with many issues, especially the fact that I live in Canada. This was not an easy case to take on and without her knowledge, professionalism, and compassion, I honestly feel I would still be fighting for a divorce. Mara was never willing to back down even when I wanted to give up. I will never be able to repay her for getting my life back and her commitment to her clients is remarkable. I highly recommend this firm for your divorce or any other family matters.

Horrible legal representation by Mara King. She allowed my minor son to be emotionally, physically and sexually abused during my divorce proceedings. She supported my abuse that also included not getting me any financial support after my husband emptied out all of our bank accounts. She took money from me though, gladly while she did not behave anything like the American Bar Associations ethical, moral and legal standards all of which the other attorneys in this practice were well aware of and supported. Stay FAR FAR away from this firm!
