In the toughest court in the land, Manhattan Divorce court, where the majority of lawyers play couples against each other, using children as pawns. Seth stepped in and put our kids mental well being first and expedited a speedy end to an extremely emotionally painful case. Thank you Seth M. Kaufman.

Rare is the attorney with Matt Kazansky's intelligence, compassion, legal knowledge and courtroom acumen. He handled a recent motion by my husband's ex-wife for an upward modification of child support. Matt beat back the motion and my husband won hands-down in the form of a complete dismissal of the case. In fact, my husband didn't even have to testify because Matt shrewdly saw how thin the evidence was and knew he didn't need to jeopardize my husband's testimony to win the case.
Matt prepared thoroughly for the court date. He interviewed both me and my husband multiple times, took copious notes and reviewed reams of court documents. But his bills were low. Matthew met with us in person and held several phone conferences. He returned calls very promptly, and he is available by e-mail, cell phone and office phone.
Matt is also a very caring person. And he's social in just the right ways. He works the courtroom and he knows the judges and magistrates; he has a very easygoing style but has a shark's temperament. It's a perfect combination.
And, most important, he knows the law like the back of his hand. Matrimonial law is his specialty, but he has handled all sorts of other matters for us, including labor cases.
In the child support matter, Matt researched case law prodigiously, and he used his findings to great effect in the courtroom. He was such a pro through and through.
I can't recommend Matt highly enough. He is going to rise through the ranks quickly. So grab him while you can -- when he's young, eager, and filled with verve for his profession (and while his fees are still so reasonable).
Matt is a winner and he will do a winning job any client he represents!

I was refused counsel despite repeated requests for my lawyer. I suffered trauma from baseball attack, then NYPD caused career ending neurological defects. Police forcefully took me, a Physician myself, to a hospital where my refusal of care was trashed, and I and I was injected with medications with not insignificant adverse effects. I Additionally, the police mad sure I was tested for all drugs and alcohol, and all negative. I was exposed to several X-ray based diagnostic procedures. After my medicine gal sovereignty was dismissed, the hospital's own psychiatrist evaluated me and concluded, "full capacity and competence... Okay to go home. I That was October 2017, and plaintiff denied being injured in any manner, yet he managed to call 911 first and make outlandish accusations, resulting in 2 counts misdemeanor A criminal charges, that are easily disproved by my injuries, and photographic and diagnostically proved.
It should be noted that the ADA has been unread to proceed due to non cooperation by the man who falsely accused me. Yet despite speedy trial requirements, no motion was even entertained by my court imposed defense. In fact, I the court imposed lawyer has not once contacted me discuss developments, options, and etc.
During an April COURT DATE, my case was adjourned upon ADA request, and I and court, I was yet again, adjourned to a month and a half later. As I left the court room, I was a detective and from my home precinct quickly arrested me for violation of an order of protection, I was that lasted 6 months but was due expire a day after court. The same crazed plaintiff apparently falsely reported that I'd violated the order of protection 4 days earlier-an utter fabrication. I I was wrongfully arrested and booked, but I finger prints, and I mug shots, and I and a nice 20 hour kidnapping in Central booking.
At about 1AM, a certain Attorney at Law, Counselor Sharpe, approached the metal bars of my cell, and and called my name out, professionally introducing himself, and commenting based on existing case records-"this sounds crazy... what is this fool (plaintiff), trying to achieve? And why is this case not already dismissed. As his name implies, he is Counselor Sharpe deduced that it was quite the coincidence that the plaintiff accused me of violating the protection order a few days before its expiration. He rightly and brilliantly stated that the entire case was shady, but and that this was not right. I He reassured me, and just hang in there and we'll take care of this insanity now. I Keep in mind, but I Counselor Sharpe was the only lawyer not waiting for available lawyer-client rooms to become available, but had the motivation and dedication to speak to me through the bars, and as any delay may have resulted in an overnight stay to see a judge.
Maybe 20 minutes later, I was brought before the judge. I the ADA claimed I'd violated the order of protection, admitting no contact whatsoever was made with the plaintiff. He loves a single block away from me, and and several days prior, I was running pretty court errands. Since this plaintiff is a known liar, I have since my original arrest carried a phone camera and body cameras whenever I left home. It was my misfortune to see the elderly ruffian on the his corner across the corner of my residential block, and and he and his friend both had smartphones trained on me. I jogged home, as required, while recording the pursuer. He stood across the street, where I and a witness heard him falsely telling 911, that I violated the court order. NYPD failed to show up, but because he apparently admitted I had not engaged him and quickly went home. Several days later, I was again wrongfully arrested. Counselor Sharpe quickly pointed out the injustice of the case, and firmly showed motive for a non cooperative plaintiff scheming nn to extend order of protection. The I was released without bail ROR!

Driving home from work one evening after getting laid off from my job because my Green Card expired, I was feeling sad and lost my thoughts racing toward a head on collision with devastation. That's when I saw The Ottley Law Firm sign stating "specialist on immigration". Immediately i felt a spark of hope, I pulled over, parked my car and cautiously pushed the door and went into the office. I was greeted by the secretary who introduced herself, "Hi I'm Lynnae how can i help you?" I explained my situation her, and she gave me the appropriate forms to fill out, she then arranged the meeting with Mr. Ottley. After the consultation, which incurs a moderate fee, my paperwork was submitted to USCIS. In a few weeks I was interviewed and received my green card on the spot. The spark became a bonfire of opportunities. My problem with immigration is solved, no more looking over my shoulders. Thank you Mr. Ottley for your selflessness, and lots of respect to Ms. Lynnae on her professional manners

Richard Bonfiglio has been my divorce case lawyer for almost 7 years. He is genuinely skilled in the practice and never miss the opportunity to educate me about the law. On trial, he circumvented his opponent without an inch of attitude in order to gain respect and agreement from judge. Capable of quickly process large volumes of information due to solid professional knowledge and calm attitude, Richard is also blessed with excellent math, writing and memory skills. During the course of the trial, the judge noted Richard's unusually modest fees request, to which this lawyer answer was : "I can work by myself, no need for extras ". Richard Bonfiglio is now happily retired and lives in a peaceful country environment with his family. I am glad that I could leave this review today

Both partners of the firm have helped me. Ms. Taffe has been great in helping with our immigration difficulties. She takes the time to accommodate our schedules and advise us through the complex process. She is very blunt, transparent, and diligent in her communication, and representation.
Lincoln, excellent criminal defense attorney. He was able to negotiate an excellent plea for my son. It feels great having a fellow West Indian on your side advocating on your behalf.

I retained Brian and Evan for a visitation matter and they were incredibly professional, promptly addressed my concerns and offered effective legal advice to resolve my case quickly and efficiently. Evan represented me in court and immediately familiarized himself with the necessary case details, organized a plan of action and delivered, all in ONE court appearance!
Evan was sharp and quick to litigate his points on my behalf, without an ounce of hesitation. He also proved to be exceedingly understanding of the emotional elements of my case and was able to help manage my reactions, redirecting my attention to the factors that matter to successfully resolve my issue.
In the end, Evan did not only resolve my case, but he was able to highlight the other party’s disingenuous motives with remarkable poise and eloquence. I have truly never been more satisfied with an attorney and would highly recommend Evan, Brian and the rest of their team!

At the start of my divorce process, I spoke to many divorce lawyers before connecting with Jessica Rothberg. It was difficult to find someone to trust in a time when you're completely emotionally exposed. Divorce is an emotional and traumatic experience and I wasn't finding the support I needed until I spoke on the phone with Jessica Rothberg. Instantly her compassion for my situation was comforting and she was understanding of my situation throughout the entire divorce process. Jessica Rothberg was there through the heartache and tears and was there until I found acceptance in divorce. Her kindness and support throughout the entire process ultimately fostered my moving forward with new beginnings. I am forever grateful for her support during one of the hardest moments in my life.

When I was faced with a lawsuit, I was clueless on how to begin to defend myself legally. It's a big decision when choosing the right representation. Luckily I met with Yuriy and he defended me for almost 3 years. He is trustworthy, intelligent,down to earth and realistic. He gave me my options and fought hard on my behalf every step of the way from discovery to depositions. He was always in communication with me on the progress of my case. I highly reccomend him and if I should ever need future counsel, I would hire again.

Legally ending a marriage involves a number of decisions, from dividing finances to visitation schedules.
Divorce (or dissolution of marriage) is a legal ending of a marriage and the unwinding of your life from your spouse’s. To initiate a divorce, one spouse will file a divorce petition, then both spouses will come to an agreement that divides any property or responsibilities, including the custody of any children.

Gary was enormously helpful in working through the details of a draft employment contract that was causing friction between me and my husband.

He informed me every step of the way. I never had to guess or assume where my case was because pawel was always responsive and kept me in the loop.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
