A good friend of mine recommended Bobby Epstein to me after a long, drawn out legal battle with my ex-wife regarding college costs. My case was being heard in Connecticut where my ex-wife lives, but we were still operating under New Jersey Law according to our agreement. The judge in our Connecticut case asked us to write a legal brief explaining the New Jersey case law and our arguments under that law. Bobby demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the law and provided a very thorough legal brief referencing multiple cases and decisions supporting our arguments. On top of that, he also guided my Connecticut lawyer and explained to him the relevant New Jersey law so my Connecticut lawyer would be best able to present my case. The opposing counsel actually remarked how she was impressed with the information and legal brief Bobby provided. In the end, my ex's lawyer could not come close to debating the merits of the arguments Bobby put forth and the court ended up siding with Bobby's brief on all counts.
Bobby was not my lead attorney as the hearing was in Connecticut, but he performed as if he were running my case. He was thorough, organized, and showed compassion for my situation. Many lawyers in Connecticut were skeptical of my case until Bobby joined our team and a lot of the credit goes to him. I wish I knew about him 9 years ago when I was going through my divorce, but am really happy I found him now.

When I count my blessings, I count Bobby twice.
March 1st, 2023 will be one year that I am divorced. I attribute my found “freedom” to Bobby Epstein. There is not one day that goes by that I don’t thank my lucky stars for him. My case was extremely complicated. More than most and he just handled it with ease, grace, total composure and had such a way of managing the unexpected. He had a very calming affect and explained everything well in advance to help prevent anything unforeseeable. You can reach him at 5 am or midnight. He was always accessible and if he didn’t respond immediately, you knew he’d call or text as soon as he could. If I had an emergency (because sometimes in my case things “escalated”) and I needed to call him, he would pick up and rationalize the situation and helped get me “through”. The man is SUPER HUMAN!
He was not my first attorney. I was introduced to him (by a close friend) one year after I was with another firm which I was not happy with. My former counsel wasted time, money and energy and after not moving my case forward after one year, i switched firms to Bobby’s firm and I couldn’t have been happier. My only wish was that i made the move sooner. He did more for me in the first 30 days than my old firm did in a year.
I look at my Marital Settlement Agreement -The one that we fought 30 days shy of 2 years for and endless amount of money. You can say you can always want more but I look at that 60 page document and it’s a work of art. Bobby worked long and hard and thought about EVERYTHING and I know I couldn’t have picked any one better. He’s truly the best!!!

I was going through a custody battle with my ex wife for nearly two years before I retained Robert Epstein and Katherine Segall.
My former counsel wasted a lot of time, energy, money and never made any headway. I needed a change of counsel and did some research on the firms that handle these types of custody cases. When I spoke with Ziegler, Resnick and Epstein, I asked that person that took my case not only take it seriously but was also a fighter. I was immediately transferred to Robert.
I explained the case to him, and told him we were nearly at the finish line, but my ex wife is dragging her feet, and that I needed him to close this case out.
After speaking with Robert, I knew he was the man for the job. He immediately got in touch with the other side and started looking at mediation dates as well as my former attorney to get up to speed on the case. If it were not for my ex wife, continuing to drag her feet, we could have gotten into mediation sooner. Both Robert and Katie fought for me in mediation, and once we received my ex wife’s proposal we then gave a counter proposal to soon be followed by my ex wife completely re-writing her own proposal which put us in an even worse situation than we were before. It was at that point that Robert and Katie contacted the court several times to push for a conference hearing before the judge. Both opposing counsel and my ex wife were intentionally stalling so that things would remain the same. Opposing counsel had tried saying we were close to an agreement and that one more round of mediation would bring this to a close. Robert immediately shut that down and pushed for an Intense Settlement Conference, and trial dates and got both. He told the judge exactly what was going on and what the tactics of the other side were. An ISC was scheduled for two weeks out, and Bobby and Katherine immediately got our statement in order, and began preparing. I felt very confident going into the ISC with both Robert and Katherine, and felt the end was near on a very long, stressful and expensive custody battle. They both spent the entire day hammering out a deal that I was happy with. Neither one gave up on the things that were truly important to me and we eventually came to an agreement. I knew I made the right decision by going with Ziegler, Resnick, and Epstein. In the past when using other counsel, I had to wait for responses, and often chase down my attorneys to get updates, making an already stressful situation even worse. Both Robert and Katie made themselves available all the time, often checking in to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. I spent countless hours on the phone with Katherine always adjusting my statements and making sure the information was aligned. I can not think of a single instance where I was ever waiting for a response or dissatisfied in regards to either Robert or Katie. They treated me, my wife, and my case with the utmost respect. My only regret is that I did not retain them sooner, as this case would have been resolved two years ago. I can not state enough how crucial they both were to me winning this case. At times it felt that I had to just walk away and accept the fact that this case isn't going anywhere, completely hopeless and scared I wouldn't get the custody I was seeking. That is how I felt up until I met Robert and Katie. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for well established and credible attorneys for any family matter. Both Robert and Katherine acted above reproach for the entirety of my case, and fought until the job was done. Custody battles are difficult and stressful enough but when you have a team like I did, it alleviates a lot knowing you're being taken care of and there is a team of highly qualified attorneys watching over you, your best interests and your kids. I am forever thankful to both of them.

I endorse the legal services of Robert "Bobby" Epstein 100%. I am not a friend, classmate, prior acquaintance, neighbor or relative. This is not a paid or fake Internet recommendation. I researched qualified knowledgeable attorneys and asked Bobby to represent me in a complicated matter. Bobby took my case seriously. He threw himself into the research and the brief he filed was meticulously written. He was always very well prepared to present my arguments orally in court. He is mindful of billable hours and will work with you. A lot of lawyers don't care about you as an individual human - Bobby does.

While I had never thought I would be a person getting a divorce, when I knew I had to move forward, I will be eternally grateful that I was referred to Robert (Bobby) Epstein. Bobby was not only compassionate to my situation, but extremely knowledgeable and self assured. As I prepared to make the most difficult decision of my life, I was convinced that I had the right attorney. Sure enough, now that my divorce is behind me, I can look back and say that my legal representation was second to none. I felt confident throughout the entire process that I was receiving the best possible legal representation from an attorney who is tops in his field. I was also extremely pleased with the results. I highly recommend Robert Epstein if you must make the difficult decision to file for divorce.

I can’t say enough great things about Bobby Epstein as my divorce attorney and the way he handled my very challenging divorce. Despite all of the obstacles my ex-husband threw at me, making this an extremely formidable time both emotionally and financially, Bobby was always professional, ethical, sympathetic and always showing the utmost concern for my well being and for that of my daughters. He was very responsive to my needs and always explained other options if they were available. His compassionate and approachable attitude helped to make a very difficult time a lot more bearable.

Bobby Epstein is as good as it gets for Family Law. He was exceptional in all phases of his representation during my divorce. Beginning with the consultation and continuing now after the agreement has been finalized, Bobby was extremely professional, patient, kind and knowledgable. His understanding of the nuances of the laws as they pertained to my circumstances was right on point. He was extremely responsive both by email and phone call, and I was not the easiest client to deal with. I can give Bobby my highest personal recommendation to anyone contemplating divorce or going through any type of experience that requires a top notch Family Law Attorney.

I did hours and hours of research before thankfully choosing Bobby. I literally interviewed/had consultations with over 10 of the best divorce attorneys in Bergen county area. There is nothing easy about going through a divorce, but I felt 100% comfortable knowing that Bobby had my back and that he would get me the best and most fair deal possible. I had an extremely contentious divorce and my husband’s attorney was extremely difficult to say the least. Bobby always dealt with her in a calm, mature, professional manner, yet he never let his guard down and always advocated in an assertive manner for myself and my kids. I knew that at the end of the day Bobby would get me the best deal that I could get and wrap the case up as quickly as possible (sure, the system is the system, but he truly cares about you and your family and will do what needs to be done as quickly as possible). Many people think divorce attorneys drag the cases on to keep making money. He did not do this and was the first one to tell me when and where I needed to compromise in order to achieve the goals I wanted.
As for his general daily practices, I am always impressed. He’s extremely efficient and always gets back to me immediately. He often responded to other professionals and counsel involved in the case before I even saw the email trails! I am not easy going and am definitely not the easiest of clients (nor were my loving Dad or brother!), yet Bobby was happy to speak to any of us at any time to discuss the case and often reassure us along the way.
Bottom line, I tossed and turned often during my divorce because of all the stress. We all do. But none of my stress was related to my attorney. He solved much of my stress and I know with 100% certainty that he had my back and I trusted him fully. I can’t say that about too many people. Anyone who is lucky enough to become his client can breathe a huge sigh of relief knowing they are in the best hands possible.
On a side note, he has impeccable taste in music and candy and his doppelganger is on Fuller House.

Hiring Bobby was by far the right decision. He's responsive, patient, and a fierce negotiator. As with most divorces it's one of the most traumatic and difficult times you can go through, and having Bobby in my corner made the process easier. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs to hire an attorney.

I retained Robert Epstein to represent me in my post-divorce Motion & Consent Order. I only wish he represented me in my divorce. Robert was extremely professional, detail-orentiated, a skilled writer and negotiator. His legal knowledge was exceptional. His advise, guidance, expertise and determination led to resolution. Robert addressed all my questions & concerns immediately. Robert was kind, caring and extremely compassionate to my situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone filing for divorce or any post-divorce issues. Why settle for anything less when you can have the BEST.
