I would like to thank Layla and Autumn for always being patient with me and doing their best throughout my case.
I had a case with them in 2018, and after I moved, I never hesitated to return to this amazing team when I needed an attorney again. They are truly incredible they’ve never steered me wrong, they genuinely care, and they always offer honest guidance. I felt heard throughout the entire process, and I will continue coming back.
Palmer, Zad & Associates will always be my go-to people thank you to Layla Zad and Autumn.

Layla, Matt Ryan and Matthew Palmer: my family and I are forever grateful for you and your hard work. I had a move-away and they all helped my son and I to relocate during a very hard custody battle. We are now at peace and moving on with the law on our side. Thank you , thank you. God bless you all. BH

Don’t waste your time with this place… simply because they’re a waste of time. They also give out false information and help people lie on their legal documents which in turn gets their clients in trouble.
Owner response
Kayla, <br><br>We’re sorry to hear you feel this way. However, your consultation did not proceed because a conflict of interest was identified before any legal advice or services were provided. As a result, no legal guidance or document preparation occurred.<br><br>We want to assure you that our firm operates with integrity and adheres to all ethical and legal standards. The statements in your review do not reflect the actual circumstances.<br><br>Palmer Rodak & Associates

I followed Matt Coderre from another firm because he’s honest, humble, and realistic. He doesn’t sugarcoat things — he tells you the truth and gives solid guidance. He’s easy to talk to and truly cares about his clients. The paralegals are excellent and always on top of everything, and the firm does their best to keep costs down. Thanks to Matt and his team, I was able to regain custody and bring stability back to my kids’ lives. Highly recommend!

I had a very mentally draining case with my ex wife and I didn’t know where to turn. Matt Coderre gave me a call and he handled everything professionally and he was always there when I needed him. Matt is super personable and makes you feel comfortable under stressful situations. Matt resolved every problem that I had with the best outcome and I will never go anywhere else with family law. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me Matt. Matt has changed my life for the better and I can’t thank him enough!

First time I came across Palmer Rodak & associations I was intrigued and had hope seeing their reviews . I made an appointment to meet with them and see how they can help me with my family case . They were friendly, honest and I just had a great feeling about them. I have now hired them onboard to help me with my case and they been a great help always attentive and answering all my questions. I truly appreciate their honesty and commitment to each case they work on. I would highly recommend them to help your cases as well. I have told them my bad experience I had hiring an attorney so blindly and they reassured me they don’t have the same work methods as the previous lawyer .

Absolutely five stars for Matthew Palmer and his team! From the very first consultation, he was kind, professional, and truly listened to my concerns. He made an incredibly stressful and emotional situation feel manageable and gave me real confidence throughout the entire process. His expertise and dedication were clear every step of the way, and thanks to his hard work, my move-away request was granted. I couldn't have asked for better representation. If you're looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares and delivers results, Matthew Palmer is the one you want in your corner. A big thank you to Autumn, his paralegal. She was a huge support through this whole process as well and answered every question along the way.

Matthew is the best lawyer I’ve ever worked with. I hired Matthew Palmer to write a will and trust. He is kind, smart, attentive and exceedingly thorough. I highly recommend Matthew Palmer because he simply cares.
Both Matthew Palmer and Matt Coderre are great attorneys'! Them and their staff are responsive and will give you the best outcome. If your case(s) are messy whether it's custody or restraining orders these guys will help you get what you want to receive. I think this firm is worth the money you pay and they offer payment plans.
Thank you so much Matthew and Matt.. you are guys are awesome!

I was completely overwhelmed, but Matthew Coderre helped me through it—not just legally, but mentally and emotionally as well. He was supportive, sharp, and fully committed at every step. His only goal was to see me succeed through an incredibly difficult situation.
I’ll always recommend this firm because they fight the right way—honestly, respectfully, and with true collaboration. I’m extremely grateful I chose Palmer Rodak & Associates, and even more so for Matthew Coderre’s expertise in family law. His dedication made all the difference.
Matthew Coderre represented my son in a DV/ custody case involving my grandson. Matt is very humble, caring, and compassionate. Along with that, he spent ample hours reviewing documentation and evidence to present in our case. He didn’t sugar coat
anything or give us false hope. Rather he was open and honest with us about what we were facing and very well educated. When our day in court came, Matt fought with everything he had to plead our case. We had a very victorious win and to Matt I am truly grateful. We have our grand baby back thanks to Matt. You can’t go wrong having Matt on your side.

Best decision I ever made was hiring Palmer Zad & Associates during my divorce last year. I worked with Kestlyn, Layla and Mathew at different points. I can’t say enough about all three. Divorcing a Lawyer is a really painful process and these guys made me fell supported every step of the way. I would strongly recommend Palmer, Zad & Associates to anyone in need of Legal support.
I can never recommend or thank Matthew and Layla enough. I went through the most traumatic high conflict divorce and not only are they excellent at what they do, but they supported me along the way. We had a HUGE win even though my ex spent almost double. I trust them with my life!!!!
