Hiring Breiter is a mistake I will have to live with forever. She ruined my life and my children's lives. She is incompetent. She does not do her due diligence. She tries to be a social butterfly. I had to go to court for my divorce!!! She shows her hand to the other attorney. Instead of serving my husband with the divorce papers she sends him a letter advising him that I have retained her...WHAT? I had a bad feeling from the get-go but lack of funds and emotional state forced me to stay with Breiter. DON'T DO IT, FIND ANOTHER LAWYER!!! Don't give her and her staff ruin your life too.

I hired Jeanne Breiter to represent me as my collaborative divorce attorney last summer. Divorce is obviously never easy, and mine became an extremely stressful event at times as my wife and I had trouble reaching an equitable settlement. Jeanne and the entire law firm were understanding and compassionate and offered great advice along with sound legal council. They assisted me greatly and helped guide me thru a very difficult time. Thankfully, I was able to obtain my divorce without having to go to court. Without a doubt, this was a very confusing time and probably the most difficult period of my life. Going through a divorce is stressful but Jeanne and the entire staff really showed their care and concern for me during this time. I would absolutely recommend Jeanne Breiter if you are looking for a divorce attorney.

I don't usually write comments on these sites but I am sitting here reading negative comments about Jeanne Breiter, who is my divorce attorney. I absolutely disagree! Jeanne was enormously successful in recently representing me. My husband and I had very difficult financial issues, and we were both out of work. Jeanne focused on my needs and helped me achieve a fair and amicable resolution as a collaborative divorce, keeping me from having to go to Court. As people will agree, going through a divorce is stressful but Jeanne and her friendly, helpful support staff made the process smooth. I strongly recommend Jeanne Breiter if you are going through a divorce.

I hired Jeanne Breiter to represent me in my divorce case. I had been previously been represented by another attorney. My divorce case should have been relatively easy as there were no kids or major assets like a house. My case, however, had dragged through the courts for over a year. I hired Jeanne when I was at a point that I could not understand why the case was taking so long. As soon as I hired Jeanne, she quickly called the other lawyer and set up a settlement conference. She was able to settle my case within a month of hiring her. She also made sure that I understood everything that was going on and truly listened to and addressed my concerns. She impressed me with her knowledge of the law and her ability to sympathize with my situation. I would hire Jeanne again in a heartbeat.

Jeanne C Breiter is the most incompetent attorney I've ever known. She ruined my life and the life of my children. She is money hungry. Breiter wanted me to sign a promissory note for my house so she would get her money (I took out a mortgage instead). She does not pay attention to detail. I tried to sue her for ineffective counsel but all the other attorneys would not touch the case. I lost everything in my divorce case. Breiter was Miss Social Butterfly when we went into the courthouse. Breiter showed her hand to the opposing attorney. I had forwarned Breiter of the dirty, underhanded things my ex-husband was capable of and still Brieter told everything to his attorney!! Do not trust Jeanne C Breiter!!! I wish I had had unlimited funds to fire Breiter and retain another attorney, unfortunately, at the time my emotions and limited funds, I felt trapped...I was stuck. Breiter ruined my life, she destroyed me.

I plan on contacting the NYS Bar Association about her law firm, Breiter and Gura. My case never went to trial, discovery was never completed, and a proposal was never even made. Please check out the other attorney rating sites as well. You will see what former clients think of this firm. (I wish I had done so before retaining this firm.) It's not just one unhappy client. I've dealt with numerous law firms for various things, including matrimonial. No one can believe the stories I tell them about this firm. Run as fast as you can from this firm!
