I can't image someone real writing a bad review. This law firm is professional, friendly, and efficient. More than you can ask for. Highly recommend. To all of the "low reviewers" you're a scam.

10+ Stars! Ellen and her staff are/were amazing! Professional, courteous, and very understanding of my situation. They gave me great advice, and I'm so deeply thankful!

I am happy I used the Law office of Ellen B. Holtzman to represent me in my divorce. Ms. Holtzman and her staff are very welcoming; they answer your messages in a reasonable time and are kind to work around your schedule. She and Cristina Campolo, Esq. gave wise advise and the timing with the paper work, stipulation was pretty fast.

I think Ellen and her team are nice people but this isn’t about character. Divorce lawyers should be measured by their win-loss record, like head coaches of sports teams. For me, Ellen is 0-1. We had a good game plan but she really wasn’t able to execute when it mattered most. I’m the George Steinbrenner of divorcees. I spared no expense because I wanted whatever the court equivalent of a ticker tape parade is with full custody of my children to boot. There’s winners, and there’s the Law Office of Ellen Holtzman.

Ellen and Christina are excellent attorneys. Their combined legal knowledge and experience guided me through an arduous experience in family court. They know their stuff and tell it like it is.

PROFESSIONAL, CARING, ATTENTIVE, THE GREATEST LAWYERS EVER!! My name is Lucille R. My lawyers was Ellen Holtzman & Meryl Neuren. I was in a domestic partnership that I had three children and the relationship had ended. Both I and my Ex had agree upon a contract drawn up by this law firm. But the third time going to court my Ex reneged on the contract. This law firm stood by me the whole time. Helping me get legal custody rights, giving child support to my children and visitation with my kids. TRUST ME everything came out in my favor!! I am part of the LGBTQ community. This law firm will do there best for their clients. I will always be grateful, humble and appreciative to my lawyers Ellen H & Meryl N. Love you guys!!!!❤️❤️❤️ Lucille R

Ellen dragged out my divorce unnecessarily and charged a fortune. Several times we prepared for court dates, and she rescheduled, creating more paperwork for which I was charged. She couldn't come to the most important possible conference with Judge Ratner in Westchester, sending in a substitute that was completely unfamiliar with my case and Ratner just yelled at me the whole time. Wasted hours of my time and let the other lawyer yell at me. Made a terrible divorce traumatic.

Just after college I met and married Rose. I hoped we would have a happily ever after and I truly tried my best to make that happen. I worked hard and made good money. We had four children, but my wife made me do everything. She never worked during the marriage, and that was fine with me because we didn’t need the money. However, I always hoped she would take more interest in the kids and our home, but it never happened. Year after year, I was the one who got up to make breakfast and the school lunches for the kids before I went to work. Over time, Rose and I grew apart and I realized that I was carrying everything on my back. I never felt like I had a partner. We tried counselling but nothing changed. Finally, after nearly 20 years, I decided to get a divorce. I asked friends about divorce lawyers and the Law Office of Ellen Holtzman came highly recommended. After the initial consult I asked Ellen to send the divorce papers to Rose. I was always generous to Rose and the kids, but she was never satisfied. It was never enough, even when I willingly gave her above and beyond what the court ordered. Since the divorce became final seven years ago, she has taken me to court for extra support more than 20 times over issues that lack any validity. She seems to do it just to waste everybody’s time because the judges never find in her favor. I used to wonder why Ellen kept such a detailed paper trail about everything, all the correspondence back and forth. Honestly, I didn’t think a lot of it was necessary. But later, dragged into court year after year by my ex, I saw the point. When the judge had a question, Ellen always had the answer, and she always had the documents to prove everything. Proof that all the checks and the letters had been received, proof that the checks were deposited, and receipts showing that the money being sought for needed items had already been paid. Now happily remarried to a woman who is a true partner, I want to say that you can rely on Ellen and her team. They have been there for me every time I needed them. With Ellen, I had the best and she changed my life. Also want to say, Meryl was very kind and helpful to me. The office functioned as a really good team and I feel so lucky to have had them all on my side.

Every one at the office is so sympathetic and kind. But the prelaw attorney is just awful straight up rude and ignorant.
