Vivien is an excellent lawyer. She is not only knowledgeable of the laws and the system, but also over Judges and lawyers she goes up against. She has an excellent read on others, and keeps calm despite how often I lost my head during "the process." It took 1.5yrs for Vivien to help me gain custody of my beautiful daughter. Vivien still keeps herself available to answer any questions or concerns I might have. And when it feels the sky is falling, Vivien goes over the laws point by point until I am at ease. I will use Vivien again and again and would recommend her without a moments hesitation!

I used Vivien for a child support case. Working with her was an amazing experience. I had gone to other lawyers for a consultation and payed high fees but wasn't satisfied with their suggestions and didn't feel the positive energy I immediately felt with Vivien. After going over all the details of my case she told me what my options were and came up with a plan that made total sense and followed through with it. The office staff was pleasant to deal with. My calls were returned promptly and all questions and concerns were handled in a patient and competent way. I am deeply grateful for everything she did for me and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.

Vivien handled my case from end to end, while keeping it within my budget, and setting realistic expectations. My case was involving interstate child support, divorce and child custody (with some very compacted twists). She got to know my case very well, did an outstanding representation and subsequently won it. I'm very glad that I've chosen Vivien to work on my case.

I am Thanking Vivien Stark and her staff for helping me with my difficult divorce. Vivien Stark and her assistants not only gave me the most professional service but they helped me with professional care. Ms. Stark encouraged me to keep the faith and that she will handle all my needs. Her staff I have to say we're very attentive to my needs. The mannerism I loved from Ms. Stark's company, I started with Ms. Starks company about 9 months ago and was completely done with my divorce. I am very impressed with Ms. Stark and her company and was very happy with the price that was quoted to me, I also have to say Ms. Stark's company was very reasonable because Ms. Starks company was also able to give me a payment installment.

I have been represented by Vivien Stark for 8 years in an extremely complicated, from every point of view, case. Child support, visitation, abuse, medical mistreatment - you name it. I can't praise this attorney highly enough. She's very smart, dedicated, knowledgable, and well-respected in the court rooms. Vivien always comes 100% prepared for the hearings; she is very honest, detail-oriented and thorough. Ms. Stark fights fiercely for her clients putting all her knowledge and dedication into her cases. Legal fees for that level of legal work and representation are very reasonable.

I used Vivien for a prenuptial agreement less than a year ago, and I was more than pleased with the results. I was dealing with a fragile situation and had no idea what to do. Vivien quickly came up with a course of action, and was always prepared and knowledgeable at every turn. She took the time to answer all my questions in a way I could understand the agreement and my options, when my previous lawyer did not. She was a strong advocate for me without being overly confrontational in the process. This was key for my particular situation and her extra care made it a pleasure for everyone involved. She is the most genuine lawyer I have yet to encounter, and was fair with all her hours and rates. Overall I am grateful for all her help and would recommend her to anyone needing a lawyer in her field. Thanks again Vivien!

When I hired Vivien Stark, my case had been going for three years and was being strung along by incompetent and unethical lawyers (on both sides) who just wanted to profit off of the acrimony between my son's father and me. Vivien was able to get my son's father, who was trying to obtain sole custody, to accept a settlement offer, and I think that was in part because she is truly a shark in the courtroom. One day of cross examination by her was all it took to bring him to the table. Vivien is charismatic and extremely intelligent. She is responsive, hard working, down to earth and a straight shooter. A true professional in every sense of the word. I am so grateful to have found her, because now I can finally get on with my life.

Get Vivian on your side before the other side does cause then your toast. Vivian even had my opponents lawyer shaking in their shoes. She won my case that was very complex. The presiding Judge could only agree with Vivians argument on my behalf. She was unstoppable, relentless and refused to stop until she had secured my request from the court. I refer to her by her first name because she is very personable. Thanks Vivian

Vivien Stark is a dynamic, effective attorney. She has a very direct style that makes it easy get to the core issues of a case quickly, instead of wasting time (and your money) on extraneous details. I came to Vivien after consulting two other lawyers and she was by far the most impressive, not by big-office standards but by giving me a very real idea of the strengths and weaknesses of my case. When we did move forward, she was always prepared and well-versed on whatever issue came up, even if it required additional legal research. If I had questions, she always responded quickly and completely. Most importantly, she did not overcharge (as many NYC attorneys do, at every opportunity) or overstate her hours. Her prices and her time charged were fair and ethical. I have recommended her to two friends, both of whom were also more than satisfied.
