Ms. Berkowitz handled my divorce proceeding. Throughout the proceedings my main concern was retaining my pension which she clearly understood. She had me sign my divorce papers, as I received a phone call from my mother that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. We signed the papers and I assumedshe read over the papers and confirmed that I was protected regarding my pension. This June I decided to retire only to find out that she had me sign papers that did not protect me and my share of the pension. When I originally confronted her, she was very willing to help me resolve this situation. The phone calls and emails went on for two months and I keep asking her to work on the amendment which she did do. When I needed to change an address on the amendment, she told me that I had to pay her $500 an hour or give her a $5,000 retainer fee, in addition to paying for a new qudro to be drawn up because she did not complete the first one with the correct options to benefit me. So I needed to retain a new lawyer and was unable to retire until this issue is resolved. I now have to pay for a new lawyer , I have filed a complaint with the bar association and State of NY Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District, as well as starting a civil suit against her to regain all the money she has cost me and stress this situation has created.

Brynde Tivkah Berkowitz mishandled my case by missing deadlines, lying before the court and exhibiting utter incompetence . She is an abysmal lawyer and should not be allowed to continue to practice law.

Ms Berkowitz helped a family member in family court! The outcome was better than we had expected. Her professionalism and knowledge were hands down expert! Her ability to be kind as well as strong made me feel comfortable communicating with Her. Well Done !

Mrs. Berkowitz was hired by the court as the lawyer for my four children during my divorce however within a short time the two older children or provided with a different attorney. I never understood why she was kept on the case even one of the younger children also demanded she'd be relieved as they dreaded going through her office and never trusted her to give over is there decisions but what she wanted. I can't complain as I made out pretty well to say the least, I have said on the court record she is not to be trusted And I would stay away from her as far as possible as it was quite evident the court/judge saw through her.
