One of the most trying times in my life was when I had to declare bankruptcy. Prior to meeting Todd, I was in ruins. There is no charge for the consultation. Todd was really kind and helped me feel comfortable in this circumstance when I first met him. I'm very happy that I came upon him and his practice. Every employee there is a treasure. I will always be appreciative. The paralegal, Angela, was a pleasure to work with, very understanding, and very helpful to me throughout this process. I heartily endorse!

Nicholas Carre is not to do business with he is not reliable and very unprofessional. He is only there for money and once he gets it that’s it he will not finish up his part of the deal.
So I recently sold my home back in March of 2024 and I made a contract agreement with the buyers to hold money in an escrow account and once the issues was completed the money was suppose to be released to me instead I have not got anything and I been reaching out to him and his office since April and he just ignore the calls… ignore the emails. I even went down to the office in person and they told me I couldn’t speak to him he not there I waited and still nothing.. if someone ever recommends him do not use him at all he has now been dodging me and my boyfriend for almost a year now.. I repeat do not do any business with him or his company. I now have to get legal involve and file complaints against him.

A year and a half into a contentious custody dispute and acrimonious divorce, I met Neil Fredman and Ken Novenstern, attorneys at Fredman, Baken and Novenstern. During the most painful time of my life, I was finally in capable, compassionate hands.
Neil and Ken are not your typical lawyers. From the get go, they focused on doing the right thing. They have heart, and most definitely appreciated my situation. Despite the emotional turbulence of those months, working with them was a pleasure.
As I got to know them, I saw quickly how well they both know and understand the system. They have relationships with many of the judges, clerks, referees and staff in the White Plains Supreme and Family Court, so they just know how to handle every scenario and every surprise from the opposing side. Because of their understanding of the Westchester court system, things went smoothly from the beginning. Brilliant writers, they always impressed me with their comprehensive letters to the court and the opposing attorney. Nothing was left out of the letters and every time, they nailed it.
Neil and Ken had a special ability to support me through an immensely stressful period. Speaking to them felt like I was talking to friends, father figures in a way, who gave me trusted and wise counsel. Down to earth, easy-going and gracious, they are both just good people. You just get this positive feeling about people and with them, I felt it right away.
As experienced divorce attorneys, they know what to focus on. When the other side created distractions or said things to rile me up, they would reassure me that it wasn’t a big deal and not to worry. Facile in putting things into layman’s terms, they have a very direct, clear and real world communication style. They know what’s important and ultimately what matters most. During emotional custody and divorce battles, you need them on your side.
Honest, authentic, and intelligent, Neil and Ken kept my expectations in check. If I wanted to go after something, they would let me know if it was worth it, and if not, they would help me refocus my energy on what was truly essential.
Above all, Neil and Ken brought me results. Working with them got me a solid and fair financial agreement and custody agreement for my two children, who mean more to me than anything in the world.
After a year and a half of withstanding mean-spirited and demoralizing attacks by the opposing counsel in court, I am thankful that I finally found attorneys who ensured I was properly protected and fought for.
I am happy to have my divorce and custody battle behind me and am incredibly grateful for the stellar legal results I received. Neil and Ken understood my side of the story and fought for me, and won for all of us, including my two sons.
I recommend them at the highest level.

Neil Fredman represented me in my divorce/custody case in 1995. In the years since then I spoke of him often in the sharing of that story and I will again here, later.
But first let me say that 25 years later, Neil once again saved the day. In the face of coronavirus, I decided to take a lump sum payment of my pension plan. If I died, this pension plan did not allow for a non-spouse beneficiary – meaning my children could not inherit it. But I could take the lump sum and roll it into an IRA account, naming my children as beneficiary. We are talking about a couple hundred thousand dollars that if left within the pension and I died, would simply be absorbed by the pension plan. I desperately wanted to make sure that my kids would be able to inherit these funds.
The pension administrator required a copy of my divorce decree which neither I nor my Ex was able to locate. To get a copy from the Court, I’d have to go in-person to New York – from Florida, during coronavirus crisis.
I took a chance and emailed Neil Fredman. Neil emailed me a certified copy of my 25 year old divorce decree in just one day!!! Because of Neil, I am now the happy recipient of my lump sum pension plan distribution.
Of course, I thanked him profusely and took the opportunity to tell him how grateful I have always been for his sage advice way back in 1995. I reflected on my divorce scenario and Neil’s role and I’d like to take this opportunity to comment on that as well.
25 years ago, my Ex and I intended to resolve custody and divorce matters amicably. We had agreed on joint custody. I agreed to no alimony or child support because I earned more than him. We didn’t have much savings and didn’t own a home, so there wasn’t much to fight over.
Never-the-less, a blood-sucking divorce attorney sunk his teeth into my ex-husband and promised him sole custody and alimony, prompting the animosity and legal fees to pile up.
My first attorney was of a similar ilk. But a few days before a temporary custody hearing, he died of a brain aneurysm. I figured I was a great Mom so I went into court representing myself. I was not able to handle the procedural requirements of civil court, and I lost temporary custody of our kids. My heart was broken.
That was when I hired Neil Fredman. His reputation proceeded him. I had one chance to change the course of events in the trial for full custody. In truth, it never got that far. Neil reviewed the findings from Social Services- who found both of us quite suitable parents- and supported joint custody with the children living with me and generous visitation with their Dad.
Neil Fredman went to my Ex’s blood-sucking attorney and “encouraged” him to support the original proposal of joint custody, no alimony or child support. I later found out from my Ex that his attorney told him that while he could easily win against me, he would never be able to win against Neil Fredman.
With Neil at the helm, the case was quickly resolved through a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement. At the time, I thought Neil’s hourly rates were high – but in the end, well worth it. He NEVER tried to drag it out. He worked towards settling rather than going to trial.
I’m proud to say that ultimately, my Ex and I amicably co-parented. Our kids often said, “Why can’t you and Dad be like other divorced parents and not speak to each other?” – because we stood united in our parenting decisions and they couldn’t pit us against each other. It was Neil Fredman who paved the path to this end, and I have been eternally grateful to him ever since.
Now 25 years later, Neil once again resolved my problem quickly and effectively. Neil Fredman has integrity and consideration for what happens AFTER the divorce process is finalized with the goal of meeting the best interests of the children and the adults in the years that follow. He is a rare find in divorce law and I highly recommend him.

I was one year into my divorce case, my Ex wife had all sorts of false order of protection against me crippling my ability to even see my kids, I hadn’t seen my first son for 6 months and never met my new born until he was 3 months old. My old attorney did nothing, they were money down the drain until Adam came along, in ONLY 2 WEEKS, ADAM knew my case like the back of his hand and ready for trial where he dismantled the opposition and laid all their claims to ABSOLUTE WASTE. Adam got rid of all my Ex wife’s Phony Order of protection by proving to the judge beyond a reasonable doubt that all her claims were false. In another few months ADAM got the judge to give me interim Custody of my kids while OUR DIVORCE WENT ON for another year instead of my ex wife. This man was phenomenal, he brought my case from the grave yard literally to LIFE. IF YOU HAVE A MATRIMONIAL CASE AND SEEK THE BEST ATTORNEY NEW YORK HAS TO OFFER, look no further and congratulations because you just found him.

I hired Adam for my divorce three years ago. He gave me excellent advice and was a true confidant during that time. Fast forward three years later and he has not left my side. Continues to advice, council and guide during the most stressful time of one's life. He has worked towards my future and made sure that myself and my children's needs were met with class, grace and elegance. I can not recommend him more highly. He will fight for you, and let you know when to back down. He has taken my calls on weekends, evenings and early mornings. He is dedicated to his clients and you can rest assured Adam will do anything he can for his clients. On top of it all he happens to be a great guy, wonderful family man and a nice person. You will make the right choice should you need to higher a lawyer by hiring Adam.

I don't often write reviews but my experience with Adam through a highly contested, emotional rollercoaster of a divorce proceeding compelled me to do so. Adam's calm demeanor, steady approach to litigation and solid advice throughout the proceedings allowed me to navigate the mine field of my divorce with confidence. His pragmatic approach was much appreciated as he always communicated potential outcomes which we discussed to decide the best way forward. He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I NEEDED to hear. Adam excels in his deep knowledge of matrimonial proceedings, custody issues and is especially adept at finances. I highly recommend securing Adam's services so that you can have the piece of mind of having a true professional on your side through one of the most stressful situations in life. I wouldn't have successfully made it through my situation without his help and advice.

You wont find an attorney who is smart, and empathetic at the same time as William Cooper. I have spoken to many personal injury attorneys who would go no further than a phone call. Mr. Cooper took the extra step and made inquiries for me just to try and help me with an issue that's been unresolved. He is patient, clear and concise in conversation and does not rush, he waits until you have a full understanding of all aspects of the situation. Don't waste your time searching for the right personal injury attorney, look no further than William Cooper. He is a rare find!

Joe, as someone else said, is "The best of the best" for estate planning purposes and estate matters.
He is extremely busy so sometimes he comes off as being abrupt. My parents used his services, their friends used his services and now I use his services. You will do yourself a big favor using Joe for your estate planning - he loves what he does and he does it so well.

After 21 years of divorce from a greedy ex and a corrupted system (judges and layers) I was able to close an ugly chapter of my life with Ms Martinez. She was able to disprove the petitioner and challenge a judge that was attempting to hide the truth. I wish I hired her years back. But I'm glad I am closing this ugly divorce on one single buy final smile on my face.

Was on the other side of a transaction and couldn’t have been more disappointed. Matt thought it was OK/moral to send contracts out to multiple offers while knowing the real estate agent accepted one offer and not letting the counter parties know that was happening. A very poor communicator and would not respond to inquiry’s after our lawyer was made aware that multiple contracts were sent out. Inappropriate and not someone I would trust doing business with.

Faith Miller was truly heaven-sent in my battle that felt like a classic struggle of good vs. evil. With her professionalism and unwavering support, we achieved victory together. Having worked with many attorneys and judges, I know how rare it is to find someone who is not only efficient and thorough but also possesses a strong moral compass. The public often overlooks the complexities of this profession, but Ms. Miller exemplifies what it means to be dedicated and compassionate in this challenging field.

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.
