Linda Bowers2025-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with the Borshchak Law Group has been nothing short of life-changing. I first met Dmitriy in July of 2023. I knew I was headed toward a divorce, but after nearly 40 years of marriage, I was absolutely terrified. I didn't know any divorce attorneys, so I googled "gray divorce lawyer in Columbus." Dmitriy's name and picture popped up, and I immediately liked his name and his face! After reaching out through the website, Leigh responded within minutes and I scheduled the first consultation. As others have said, I was so scared to walk into that office, but by the time I left, I knew I had found a lawyer who would do his absolute best to give me a good outcome. Even before meeting Dmitriy, one of the things that impressed me is that Dmitriy is a "Super Lawyer," which is a prestigious designation awarded to only the best of the best lawyers in their area of practice. While this may not seem significant to most potential clients, it spoke volumes to me. You see, I was married to a "Super Lawyer." I needed someone with the courage, skill, knowledge, intelligence and desire to take on another lawyer, and I found him! When you are represented by Dmitriy, you will feel as if you are his only client. I knew he had many other clients, but Dmitriy personally answered EVERY SINGLE ONE of my phone calls, emails and texts. Even if he was in court, he would text me back to let me know when he'd be available to speak with me. I was NEVER left hanging, wondering if my attorney had abandoned me. His attorney-client communication is incomparable. Even when he went on vacation, I knew I wasn't alone, because attorney Jonathan Pope and the rest of the team kept me informed of any updates on my case. Dmitriy's organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to utilize today's technology saved me time, money and stress. Many of our meetings and hearings were handled via Zoom, saving me countless hours of driving. Dmitriy listened to me, and fully understood that I wanted to avoid a costly divorce trial. He was able to negotiate a settlement that I was very happy with, and one that was likely better than had we gone to trial. I know my case presented many unique and difficult challenges, but Dmitriy literally left no stone unturned, ensuring that I got the absolute best possible outcome. If you find yourself in need of a family lawyer, look no further than the Borshchak Law Group. I promise you will not be disappointed! A special shout-out to all of the others who worked tirelessly on my case- attorney Jonathan Pope, Leigh, Krystal and Keri, too! You are all true professionals, and perfect examples of excellence in the legal profession! LackLuster2025-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hiring Dmitriy Changed Everything Court costs time and money. We thought if we put in the work—researched the law, understood our rights, and followed the process—we could handle our custody dispute on our own. Twelve hours of research later, we realized we couldn’t. Then came the search for an attorney. Then came six hours of looking up “Best Attorney.” Comparing websites, and reading reviews. $600 and four hours spent in consultations, narrowing down our choice. Finally, we picked one. (note- it wasn't Dmitriy) They had said all the right things: “This is an easy case.” “Here’s what to do until the first hearing.” “This is a little complicated, but nothing that we can't handle.” We breathed a sigh of relief. We thought we were in good hands. Then Reality Hit. Living out of jurisdiction meant that every hearing required missing work, a seven-hour drive, and a hotel stay. It was inconvenient and expensive—but we were ready to fight. Instead of resolution, we had a nightmare. Over a year later, the case hadn't moved. Emails and phone calls were ignored. A huge decision had been made without our consent—that actively hurt our case. Hearings postponed without being informed. Plus two calls where they proved they knew nothing about the fundamentals of our case. One moment of complete disbelief was when they asked, “Why did you do X, Y, Z?”—to which we had to remind her, “YOU told us to.” We lost so much time and money that it’s painful to think about. ---We finally fired them and hired Dmitriy.--- However, by the time we found him, we had serious PTSD from the court process and a huge hearing in just 3 weeks.... Dmitriy and his team immediately changed everything: He PERSONALLY answered every email and phone call. (Though we rarely needed to reach out—because he kept us informed before we even had questions.) HE knew everything about our case. HE remembered details we had forgotten. Dmitriy: “Remember that text you sent months ago where you said X, Y, Z and she replied A, B, and C?” Us: “Uhhhh… No.” Dmitriy: “Don’t worry, I do—and it proves 1, 2, 3.” He laid out several options for every choice we needed to make, navigated and corrected the issues our previous attorney had created, explained likely and unlikely outcomes, and crafted both short- and long-term strategies. It felt like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book, except every choice led to: A win A likely win A resolution we were happy with What more could we have asked for? I Feel for YOU Right Now. If you’re reading this, you’re at the beginning of a journey that never feels good. Whether you are the one fighting for change, trying to protect your rights, or simply seeking what’s best for your family, this isn’t fun. If you’re anything like we were, you’re probably feeling: Scared, mad, nervous, confused, blindsided, overwhelmed, vulnerable, consumed, exhausted, hopeless, helpless, spent, and just DONE. You know that feeling when a huge problem weighs on you—but the moment you make a definitive choice, half the burden disappears? When suddenly, hope replaces fear? THAT is what Dmitriy did for us, and I truly believe he can do it for you, too. Not only did he make us feel better, he got results. There are a lot of attorneys out there, and most will fight hard for your business, but we learned the hard way that few actually fight hard for YOU once they have it. Dmitriy is one of the few and sacred who doesn't stop fighting for you until you get the best outcome possible. We can vouch for that.

Nobody wants to need a family lawyer, but if you find yourself needing an attorney, Hank is the guy you want in your corner. There was never a moment that I felt like he wasn’t fighting for me. He’s thorough, communicative, creative, and truly is vested in you and your child as people, not as paychecks. He made an incredibly difficult experience a little less painful and I’d recommend him ten times over. BB PP2025-01-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From day one, he was sharp, professional, and absolutely no-nonsense about getting the best possible outcome. He didn’t sugarcoat anything but somehow made the legal process feel less daunting. His stern demeanor in the courtroom was matched only by his personable nature outside of it, which made me feel like I was not just a client, but a priority. If you’re looking for a family attorney who’s equal parts pit bull and people person, look no further than Attorney Hank Sonderman. He helped me win sole custody of my daughter, and I couldn’t be more grateful—or impressed. Thank you, again! Wanda Hudson2024-12-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attorney Hank provided exceptional representation for my son in his custody case.
