  • Aileen Fernandez-Mesa is a miracle worker.
    Aileen Fernandez-Mesa is a miracle worker. I recommend Aileen in the strongest terms to anyone in need of a family attorney. I owe my family's happiness in large part to her tireless efforts. When taking on my case, Aileen inherited an ongoing, lengthy, and complex divorce case that was not going well. There were numerous difficult issues mostly involving special needs children. In a remarkably short time, Aileen brought herself up to speed on the case and proceeded to reverse two years' worth of negative momentum. Aileen completely turned my case around and brought about a more successful conclusion than I thought was possible. Aileen's work ethic, attention to detail, professionalism, and supportiveness are absolutely remarkable. Her background involving the Florida Dept. of Children & Families makes her uniquely gifted in addressing children's' issues. More important however, is that Aileen truly cares. From the moment she came on board I felt I had an advocate for my children who felt as strongly about setting them up for future success as I do. Aileen also addressed the financial and other aspects of the case with equal proficiency. Not only did I feel like I was Aileen's only client, but I came to rely on her as I would a family member in troubled times. Aileen was always accessible, always supportive, and handled my case both expertly and, compared to my previous attorney, quickly. Whenever a crisis arose (and there were many) Aileen was on top of things immediately and was able to calmly and expertly handle the situation. She conducted several depositions that could serve as teaching tools in law schools in terms of preparation, thoroughness, bringing out hidden information, and handling a difficult opposing counsel while remaining absolutely professional herself. Today I am remarried and living in a happy home with my wife and children. I have Aileen Fernandez-Mesa to thank for that happy home in which my kids will get to grow up. Aileen has not only my gratitude but my very deepest respect for who she is both as a lawyer and as a person. If I should need a family attorney again in the future, I will retain her without hesitation and feel absolutely confident in her ability to handle the situation.

  • I wholeheartedly recommend Orshan Law.
    Aileen Fernandez-Mesa and Bobby Orshan are miracle workers. I wholeheartedly recommend Orshan Law, and Aileen Fernandez-Mesa in particular, to anyone in need of a family attorney. When taking on my case, Aileen and Bobby inherited an ongoing, lengthy, and complex divorce case that was not going well. There were numerous difficult issues mostly involving special needs children. In a remarkably short time, Aileen and Bobby brought themselves up to speed on the case and proceeded to reverse two years' worth of negative momentum. Aileen and Bobby completely turned my case around and brought about a more successful conclusion than I thought was possible. Aileen's work ethic, attention to detail, professionalism, and supportiveness are absolutely remarkable. Her background involving the Florida Dept. of Children & Families makes her uniquely gifted in addressing children's issues. More important, however, is that Aileen truly cares. From the moment she came on board I felt I had an advocate for my children who felt as strongly about setting them up for future success as I do. Aileen also addressed the financial and other aspects of the case with equal proficiency. Not only did I feel like I was Aileen's only client, but I came to rely on her as I would a family member in troubled times. Bobby Orshan's reputation as an outstanding attorney is very well earned. Bobby brought about a successful conclusion to my case that just a few weeks earlier I estimated had a 1% chance of working out. Not only that, Bobby went far above and beyond the call of duty in helping me to get my life back in order after a lengthy, high-conflict divorce. Seeing him handle negotiations was truly watching a master at his craft. By engineering a settlement that worked for both parties (which no one thought was possible even a week before), Bobby saved us hundreds of thousands in fees and gave my family the best possible chance of staying out of court in the future. Aileen and Bobby both were always accessible, always supportive, and handled my case expertly and, compared to my previous attorney, quickly. Whenever a crisis arose (and there were many) Aileen and Bobby were on top of things immediately and were able to calmly and expertly handle the situation. Today I am remarried and living in a happy home with my wife and children. I have Aileen Fernandez-Mesa and Bobby Orshan to thank for that happy home in which my kids will get to grow up. Both have not only my gratitude but my very deepest respect for who they are as attorneys and as people. If I should need a family attorney again in the future, I will retain Orshan Law without hesitation.

  • The gratitude I have for Aileen and her firm is unquantifiable
    I retained Aileen and her Firm to represent me in a Paternity/Relocation matter in Miami-Dade County. I am an Attorney practicing in other areas in the City and Aileen and her Firm came highly recommended from colleagues. From the first meeting we had together, I knew I had made the right choice. Family law is unique in that it involves more than money or documents: it involves your family/children and your future relationship with them. Aileen and her firm understood this relation and coupled that understanding with an in-depth knowledge of the law. Her attention to detail and family law prowess are second to none. The gratitude I have for Aileen and her Firm is unquantifiable. I wholeheartedly and unequivocally, recommend Aileen and her Firm for any Family law matter.

  • Bobby truly is the best in the business and I wholeheartedly and unequivocally recommend him and his firm for any family law-related matter.
    I retained Bobby and his firm to represent me in a Paternity/Relocation matter in Miami-Dade County. Bobby was recommended to me by a fellow attorney who practiced in Family law as being "One of the Best Family Lawyers in Miami." I thank my friend for the recommendation and can assure you that Bobby is not "one" of the best....he IS the best. Prior to representing me, Bobby contacted me, personally, and spoke about the case. It appeared that he was interviewing me to confirm if I was the type of client that he would want to represent. This resonated with me for two reasons: First, as an attorney myself, I understand that dealing with clients and managing expectations is challenging. To that end, understanding the client's goals is critical to being able to deliver those results given the facts of the matter. Second, I immediately understood that when Bobby takes on a representation, he is 100% invested in his client, the client's best interest and successfully navigating through the litigation to reach that outcome. Both of my realizations were accurate. From the inception, Bobby and his firm invested their resources, expertise, and attention to my case. Bobby is a master at analyzing the facts of a case, confirming what the best result is for the client then plotting a strategic course to achieve that goal. His legal vision, quite honestly and based on my almost two decades of litigation experience, is uncanny. His ability to materialize that vision is even better. Within weeks, Bobby and his firm were in control of the litigation. Bobby and his firm always communicated with me and explained the decisions before they were taken so that I truly felt part of the process. I never felt that Bobby and his firm were taking advantage of me. Quite the contrary, I always felt that my matter was being handled with the utmost professionalism, attention, and skill. whether it was day, night, or on the weekends, Bobby would always make himself available to discuss my matter. I appreciate his representation, his attention to detail, and his unyielding dedication to his craft. Bobby truly is the best in the business and I wholeheartedly and unequivocally recommend him and his firm for any family law-related matter.

  • I felt very well represented and cared for by you. [Aileen]
    Thank you for your services and all the courtesies extended. The process, as I am sure you know is and was heart-wrenching but although very costly, I felt very well represented and cared for by you. Thank you for helping me through this difficult process and time. I sincerely wish you all the very best, but mostly good health, and hopefully, I can see you in better times where a normal hug would be ok.

  • You and your team really performed at a level of excellence that I don’t see very often.

    Good morning Bobby, thank you my friend. What a ride. You and your team really performed at a level of excellence that I don’t see very often. I truly appreciate the time, effort, and concern that you dedicated to my case. I don’t get out of this without you and not only did I get out, but we also managed to get the best deal possible. I don’t think I could have written a better deal. I also learned a lot from you throughout the process. Thank you for being so good at what you do. You kicked ass ... again. Please continue to fight the good fight.

  • Hiring Aileen was the best decision I made for my divorce.
    Hiring Aileen was the best decision I made for my divorce. Knowing it would be a difficult process, she was able to make sure I understood everything step by step. She fought for me tooth and nail and would not let me be pushed around. Once we reached mediation, I knew I had made the right decision to have her as my lawyer. She truly fought for me with everything she had and was not satisfied unless I was satisfied. I was thoroughly impressed with her knowledge of family law and also her willingness to further investigate all angles to give me the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a killer attorney who will fight for you!

    I've used Orshan Law for several Family Law matters over the past few years. They have been extremely knowledgeable, compassionate & professional through those trying times. Aileen Fernandez-Mesa was the lead counsel representing me & I not only consider her a brilliant attorney, but I also consider her to be my friend. She took my calls on the weekend and at odd hours as emergencies arose. Thank You Orshan Law!

  • His meticulous attention to detail, expertise, patience, professional demeanor, and honesty guided me through my divorce.
    It is my pleasure to write a review for Bobby Orshan. His meticulous attention to detail, expertise, patience, professional demeanor, and honesty guided me through my divorce. Bobby's team is highly skilled. Bobby answered my many phone calls and emails in a timely manner. He made me feel like I was his only client, even though I was one of many many clients. I highly recommend Bobby Orshan. If you are looking for the best, look no further.

  • You have truly been one of the most important guardian angels for me during this confusing and complicated time in my life of transition and transformation.

    I have been waiting for this moment for almost 3 years and it felt surreal to be done with it. Bobby, I am forever truly indebted to you. More than you know. You have truly been one of the most important guardian angels for me during this confusing and complicated time in my life of transition and transformation. You have truly saved me (and my children) from so much pain, and in the process, you have made me laugh so hard at times when all I want to do is cry. You have reassured me and strengthened me when I’ve been falling apart and you have fought for me when I couldn’t or didn’t know how.

    I wish there was a phrase more powerful than just “thank you” because that doesn’t adequately express my appreciation. I am so emotional because you know this was the biggest issue for me and you did exceedingly more than I could’ve hoped or expected. I truly was so impressed with you yesterday. Watching you do your thing was just truly magical. It felt like I was watching a movie come to life and it was for my children and my family which just floored me!

    You are a talented and strategically brilliant litigator, but you already know that. What I hope you also know is that beneath all of that expensive exterior and charismatic prowess, I also believe you have a humble heart of gold and a solid conviction for truth and justice that is equally part of your reservoir of strengths and assets. To me, the combination of all of your gifts is what has made you as successful as you are.

  • You are a true gentleman, a wonderful attorney, and the patience of a saint.
    Bobby, I hope this note finds you well, safe, and happy. Happy because you no longer have to deal with my divorce! I am happy too and I'm finally feeling that it is really over. Thank you for putting up with all the drama. It's too bad we were unable to end the marriage after our first court date. Oh well, I won't look back or say "what ifs". I do feel the freedom from anxiety. I look forward to all the priceless moments that I have and will have from my kids and grandchildren and friends. You are a true gentleman, a wonderful attorney, and the patience of a saint. I wish you and your family healthy and happy days ahead. I have to pat myself on the back, I knew as soon as I met you and Steve, I was in good hands.

  • Where the law is still being debated in Tallahassee, my legal representation very successfully argued my case, resulting (appropriately) in the termination of my alimony payments.

    I highly recommend Steve Spann with the Orshan Law Group. I was suffering the heavy burden of “alimony forever,” but after much “investigating” to find the right people to represent me, finally found them. Where the law is still being debated in Tallahassee, my legal representation very successfully argued my case, resulting (appropriately) in the termination of my alimony payments. The judge even agreed to the reimbursement of my alimony paid since the date of the filing of my law suit more than a year before. This was especially wonderful because it cancelled out my ex-wife’s efforts to delay the trial so she would continue to receive alimony payments as long as possible. I was very pleased by Steve’s representation.

  • He was wonderful in court, award winning. He's a financial whiz and a miracle worker. The fact I'm divorced is truly a miracle.

    The question I am most asked, now that my divorce is signed and sealed is: "How did you like your attorney?" My answer is "I couldn't of imagined having anyone else." He was wonderful in court, award winning. He's a financial whiz and a miracle worker. The fact I'm divorced is truly a miracle. He has an amazing understanding of human behavior and interpersonal relationships. He just gets people. At times is was David versus Goliath, but he faced the bullies head on (he's very direct and honest) I went into the divorce process full of fear, heartache, sadness, loss and felt powerless, it was Bobby who gave me strength and hope. I'm sorry for anyone going through a divorce, it is never easy, but you will most definitely grow and evolve.
