Reviews of Arons & Associates Divorce Planning (Financial Consultant)

Joe Zenker

Getting divorced is the most difficult experience I've ever had. Emotions are high and tempers are short. My ex wife was referred to Sandy Arons by a friend of hers. One of the first things I noticed about working with Sandy , was her calming effect on the process. My ex and I actually started to working together to get through or divorce with the least amount of damage, both emotionally and financially. If you have children, you can understand why this is important. They often become the collateral damage at the ending of a marriage. Open communication about what are reasonable outcomes are critical to the process. Sandy did a great job on explaining what to expect and how to adjust to our new reality. Today my ex wife and I are still friends and we behave like adults in the present of our daughter. One of our major goals was to show her how to act when life doesn't turn out the way you thought it would . IF - we had experienced the typical ..never ending, Expensive legal battle with exhaustive communication through third parties, I doubt that we would be speaking to each other. A wise friend told me, when you have kids, your never really divorced. He asked me If I wanted to move on with my life or be in an ongoing war forever. How your divorce is completed lays the ground work for your future relationship with your ex partner. The process is difficult and both sides have to make sacrifices . If your looking for a highly knowledgeable, very experienced , stabilizing force to guide you through what may be the most difficult experience you've ever had, Call Sandy Arons. I'm so thankful we did.

I can’t imagine how much harder my divorce would have been without Sandy’s guidance. Before I started working with Sandy, I was overwhelmed with uncertainty about how to address the financial aspect of the divorce. Sandy helped me & my then husband see our current financial state in numbers on paper & formulate a plan together to divide our marital assets & debts. This took away the financial uncertainty that had been so overwhelming to me and also allowed both of us to separate the emotional aspect of our divorce from the financial aspect. I recommend anyone even considering divorce to make an appointment with Sandy before you see an attorney. With her help, you will save money, time & unnecessary stress & frustration!

Few want to find themselves in these circumstances, however, if they do, Sandy is a valuable resource. She helped us efficiently navigate our divorce. She provided great educational materials and was diligent and thorough in every step. She was especially skilled at negotiating sensitive interpersonal dynamics in order to facilitate the process during the few times these dynamics threatened to halt the process. Her persistence allowed us to stay on track despite the challenges of an ambitious deadline. She was always willing to go the extra mile, and I felt like she was there for us in a genuine way each step of the way.

Must talk with her before hiring an attorney. Very thorough with the information given.

Sandy is highly efficient, professional and knowledgeable. She is able to establish comfortable rapport with both spouses and has considerable skill as a financial mediator. Sandy has the knowledge and experience needed to quickly ascertain your personal financial potential futures based on proposed settlements. I wish I had known about her services prior to hiring an attorney. We could have saved tens of thousands of dollars by working out the finances with Sandy rather than having the attorneys argue. If you are considering divorce, I highly recommend you talk with Sandy before the attorneys are involved. Hindsight is 20/20. - Diane Dorsa - Franklin

My ex and I were amicably divorcing after working on things in couple's therapy for several years. Sandy understood where we were from the beginning and helped us figure out what life would look like financially for both households after the divorce and how to best structure custody of our two teenagers. She is familiar with the processes, the court system, and property division and helped us navigate all of that. She also referred us to other excellent professionals to help with specific aspects of the process. Working with her dramatically reduced both the cost and the drama of the divorce. We had previously attempted to do a collaborative divorce with other mediators and felt like they were over-complicating the process, dragging it out, driving up the expense and creating conflict where there was none. With Sandy, it felt like she was someone who understood what we were going through and was there to help us get through a painful process as easily as possible.

Sandy is my go to person when it comes to divorce related investment questions. She always makes time for me and gives simple answers to potentially complicated questions. Most of all she cares for her clients and I trust her.

Going through a divorce is difficult enough without getting mired in antagonistic legal proceedings. Sandy understands that the people, spouses and children, involved in a divorce are the focus of the process. The legal aspects should serve the needs of the people involved rather than the other way around. Sandy is all about taking care of the people. I have appreciated her calm and supportive approach during a scary and uncertain time.

"I wish I had met and hired Sandy a year ago! " My divorce was final this past June and I was not aware of some of the financial and tax repercussions. I felt that SHE was what was missing during the process... its such an emotional time and there are only so many new things you can learn during it. I highly recommend Aron and Associates to protect your finances and help you navigate your new life...

As a family law attorney, I believe that Sandy provides an invaluable service to clients going through the divorce process. I have worked with Sandy and her clients for over 5 years, and have found her to be a professional, neutral third-party that can assist clients navigate through the most difficult issues and come to an amicable resolution. I cannot recommend her services enough.

I cant say enough great things about Sandy Arons ! Please, please, please contact her before you call an attorney. Attorneys only want to drag things out and take your money. Sandy will help you every way possible to mediate every aspect of a divorce quickly and professionally. She is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of the law, finances, investments and any other question or concern you may have regarding divorce. Due to a difficult situation around the time my wife and I separated, we were unable to communicate between each other for approximately 6 weeks. During this time Sandy was like an attorney to me, taking care of much needed communication between my wife and I which would not have been legally possible any other way. Sandy was available literally almost 24 hrs a day. On several occasions during difficult times Sandy was in communication with me via text or phone call late at night and early in the morning. I don't know anyone who would give out their contact information while they were relaxing on vacation in another country but that is exactly what Sandy Arons did for me. I cant even imagine going through what we went through without Sandy. No matter how difficult your situation may be, Sandy will put you both at ease and will caringly help you through every single step of the process.

Many of my clients over the past several years have used the services of Arons and Associates Divorce Planning and they consistently give them glowing reviews. Clients tell me Sandy really understands the financial and tax aspects of divorce and explains the information in a manner that is always very helpful, practical and professional. She obviously really cares about her clients, their families and their well-being. Most importantly, Sandy helps clients make smart financial choices and avoid the typical divorce fear, drama and excessive legal fees. I am so glad to have Sandy and Arons & Associates as a valuable resource for my clients. - Maleah Stephens, CFP®

I've worked with Sandy for over 8 years. She's very precise with her clients and has extreme attention to detail when it comes to anyone seeking divorce advice or actually divorcing. I've found that many people that I've helped who go thru divorce do not receive good financial advice. Especially with regards to their assets, their pending real estate decisions, advice on their credit and co-signed debts when working with conventional divorce attorneys and mediators. Sandy, however, advises clients in all of the necessary areas of their finances in order to have them fully ready for their next phase in life once their divorce is complete.

CM Todd

Thank you, Sandy for being so good at what you do and taking such an interest in helping families. It is great to know you are there as a trusted resource for my clients, friends and family.

Lisa Butlak Usdan

I am so grateful for the referral to Sandy services. I was worried that my husband would push back, but in fact we both found her extremely knowledgeable, a thoughtful communicator, and very straight forward with her experience of how the various scenarios may work out for both parties. We are both extremely satisfied with her council.

James Sperring

As a family law attorney, I've found Sandy Arons' services to be an invaluable asset to my clients and my practice. Sandy is a consummate professional and has been a critical element in both helping my clients navigate the financial realities of divorce and reaching mutually agreeable outcomes. I cannot speak highly enough of her.

I’m divorced and so, I speak from experience as I write this review and encourage you to talk with Arons & Associates before your talk with a divorce attorney. If you haven’t already figured it out, the law is pretty straight forward. Assets and debts are divided 50/50, child support is a formula created by the state and alimony is math… How much does one spouse need and how much can the other afford to pay. That’s a math problem not a sophisticated legal issue. I spent lots of time and cash with attorneys during my divorce because I did not know what else to do. Then, I met Sandy and she helped me understand just how straight forward the divorce settlement and child custody issues were. She helped to keep me calm by explaining the these topics with straight forward language in a kind and compassionate way that was always supportive. If you or someone you know is thinking about divorce, you and they would be wise to contact Sandy Arons as your first step. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Mindy Mosier

Sandy met with me & my husband to help us understand and resolve some issues prior to mediation. She provided lots of great advice. She helped reduce our cost of mediation for sure. My lawyer was just in it to stick me with massive fees. Sandy was much more helpful than the attorney, and sandy will tell you she’s not providing legal advice. She’s providing practical advice.

Sharon Burns

Sandy worked with my husband and I throughout our divorce proceedings, and I would highly recommend her to anyone going facing similar circumstances. I found her to be knowledgeable and professional, and her mediation saved us a lot of money. Divorce is a very difficult time for everyone involved, and Sandy is willing to ride the storm with you. She listens, she mediates, she makes adjustments, and she'll get you to the other side. I highly recommend her! Thank you Sandy

Jon Weber

I highly recommend Sandy Arons. Divorce is one of the most painful things a person can experience. But, Sandy made it as easy as it could be by giving us solid direction and keeping us organized...and at a fraction of the cost of an attorney.
