Berkowitz & Cook

Preston, I feel took advantage of me and my family during a very difficult time in my life and milked money out of us for as long as he could. My divorce took almost 3 years to complete. Cost $40,000, I didn't get anything I wanted in my divorce such as equal split time with my children and even the stuff/property I was due to receive from the divorce I didn't get. Also, because of Preston demanding I be at all court dates I was fired from my job for missing to much work. Yet, funny thing is the last court date "child support" he said I didn't need to attend. An wouldn't you know... jobless and

Preston Drobeck was the attorney for my case. Not only was Preston easy to work with - he was prompt, very responsive, intelligent, and gave excellent legal advice and guidance. Having a difficult case was very hard for me to manage and Preston and his team worked very hard to make this process as smooth as possible. Preston has a strong work ethic and cares about this clients- I honestly would highly recommend him to anyone for legal matters.

If anyone believes in angels or miracles then you will find one in Arielle. I thought I lost my son for good. Was always told that the courts side with the mothers. That "you weren't married, so it's going to be hard to get any kind of custody." From the moment I walked into the office I was greeted like family and made welcome to just let it all out. I spent three hours just telling my story before I even retained Arielle. She actually listened, took it personal and cared! I knew she was the right one for me. I went six months without seeing my baby boy. Arielle kept fighting though and made sure

Arielle and her paralegal Josie helped me navigate through a difficult divorce. They were thorough and supportive with an emphasis on direct, consistent, and timely communication. I am more than satisfied with the outcome of my case and thankful that I was referred to them. Would highly recommend.

My grandson was taken by his mother out of state, without permission or knowledge from my son. We knew we needed help to get him back. The minute we walked into Arielle's office, my son and I knew in our hearts that she was the right person to help us. For over a year, Arielle fought for my son. She was in constant contact with him, kept him up to date, gave him advice, and was a shoulder to lean on when he thought all hope was gone. We all know the wheels of justice are slow but in 5 months, we had our boy back home with daddy. Then the fight really began and Arielle led the charge. If you want

Arielle was amazing to work with. She was extremely professional, and from the very start, I could tell she was passionate and only wanted the best for her clients. She was very informative and helped me out tremendously in navigating the entire situation. I would highly recommend her services.

I hired Arielle after a very traumatic end to my marriage. I walked into her office terrified and I left feeling comforted. Arielle fought for me and she advocated for me in ways that I could have only prayed for. I had a wonderful experience dealing with Arielle despite such a difficult and delicate matter. Arielle and her amazing team (especially her brilliant paralegal, Josie) were everything I needed them to be. They were reasonably priced, efficient and I believe I got the best possible result for my family. Thank you Arielle. Thank you for what you did for my family and thank you for tirelessly

I give Gail Berkowitz my highest recommendation! I had a complicated divorce with 3 businesses and a shrewd spouse with a former judge in the county as opposing council. I filed the first week January 2017. I worked with one attorney who wasn't bad but whom I worried wasn't a match for the other attorney. After 6 months of no progress, I asked some of KCs top executives who the best divorce attorneys were. They gave me 2 names, one of which was Gail Berkowitz. I mistakenly hired the other one. After another 8 months and an extreme amount of money and no progress, I hired Gail. She and the team

Gail Berkowitz is a fantastic attorney who is well respected among her peers, which I find to be one of the most important aspects of dealing with divorce and custody issues in Jackson County Missouri. She handled my case well and negotiated on the behalf of my children and myself. She also cut me a break on some of the legal expenses. My advice to anyone getting a divorce, try to avoid the courts and spend your money on your kids but if you cannot do that, then hire Gail Berkowitz.

Erica Driskell is incredibly detail oriented, knowledgeable and sharp. Despite how complicated and ugly my case got, she was on top of every detail, every step of the way, providing excellent counsel and guidance. She also understands the process intimately and was known to and respected by the judge in my case, which is an important factor. I can't recommend her highly enough!
