Stuart Gelfman was appointed GAL of our two children and in the 4 years he was GAL he only interacted with them once all the while they were in a very dangerous living condition with their other birth parent who is a life long addict. The judge ordered him several times to counsel and get involved for the kids own safety and he did not even attempt to. He never responded to their letters and emails and phone calls! Just reprehensible. He only showed up for court for his payments. He did not even know the names of the 2 children he was supposed to be representing nor the case details and his complete lack of care or concern for their lives has caused lifelong trust issues due to Stuart. Stuart himself, a GAL who is supposed to be advocating a voice for the children he was hired to represent showed our children that they didn't matter. Just a horrible human being that should not be representing innocent lives when all he cares about is getting paid.

Jonathan Standeford was such a pleasure to work with! He made a very difficult and potentially complicated situation feel fairly easy and helped remove the doubts and fears of it all. He always spoke to me like a friend who had my back, and I always felt he was on my side (and not just bc I was paying him ). I cant recommend him and his firm enough!

Gelfman is generally quite lazy and also somewhat dishonest, I hate to say. I've had the displeasure of having to work with him for a number of years now, something I was initially hopeful about. Rarely does he interact with my child and rather seems mildly disinterested in doing so. Doesn't do a thorough job as a GAL and instead only seems like he's here to get paid. I don't doubt he is a good man but the quality of the work, unfortunately, is very sub-par.

Falsification of medical records, overbilling, manipulation and other things are just some of the services provided by Stuart Gelfman.

Blessed to Have Molshree and Jonathan as my attorneys.Mollshree aka Molly is a fierce and aggressive attorney who has fought for me with conviction. Jonathan is extremely particular about small things and excellent is putting the pieces of puzzle together - a very good trait of an attorney. I came with a very complex multinational child abduction of my child to Molly and John. They worked day and nite to get me justice. both of them are also humane in understanding my financial limitations due to 8 years of continuous legal battle internationally; I am grateful for the payment plans I was given and a special note of Thanks to Heather Budnik who worked with me to pay timely. It's not about money BGSA team has stood by me like a family in my worst phase. Molly is very sharp and cuts the nonsense to quintessential legal points;you need to be true to her and she will go all out ; I can predict in a few years from now she will be one of the few handful attorneys who know UCCJEA; International parental child abduction and complexity around this subject. John is a rising star and will rise by virtue of his ability to decipher the complex puzzle into pieces and match the pieces with law and work the way up. You need Molly and John as a team- I highly rate them and the firm both for professionalism, knowledge & empathy. Extremely satisfied and highly recommended
