Steve is a very knowledgeable attorney, outstanding in family law. He has an in-depth knowledge of the process, procedures and potential outcomes when negotiating a separation agreement and property settlement. He truly understands what you are going through and can guide you through the process, as one who has been there. He was always on, responsive and utterly professional in his communication and guidance. Due to multiple circumstances, we came down to the wire for negotiating a final settlement prior to the 2018 TCJA changes took effect, and he was able to guide me through the process, including mediation, to arrive at an agreeable solution, in record time. He offered sound advice in a time when we aren’t always able to think perfectly for ourselves. I highly recommend him and greatly appreciate his counsel during this time.

I can’t overstate the quality of Steve’s work or his dedication to his clients. Steve was very prompt with responses to any questions I had as well as being very quick to forward information to me as soon as he had it. What I respect most about Steve is that he focuses on the well-being of the children. He stated on day one that custody would be his priority which aligned perfectly with my goals. He also understands and empathizes with his clients which makes the entire process much more bearable. Steve was my second attorney and I wish I would have heard about him earlier. When I first hired Steve, I had been separated from my spouse for nearly 6 months and I got to see my child for one over-night visit every other weekend and I was allowed to take her to dinner once or twice per week for 2-hour visits. I was living in an apartment and paying my own bills as well as the bills of my spouse. I struggled to make ends meet and the situation was not sustainable. My predicament was in large part due to my lack of knowledge of my own rights. Steve changed all of that. He was very quick to rectify the situation by educating me of what my rights actually are and he was able to negotiate a much more equal settlement for me. With Steve’s help and expertise, I now have 50% custody of my daughter and our relationship is much stronger and more substantial! I am also back in the marital home which is the only real home my daughter has ever known. Without Steve, I don’t know that I would have ever gotten 50% custody and the home probably would have been lost. Working with Steve permanently changed the course of my life and that of my daughter’s significantly and for the better! Hiring Steve Epstein was one of the best decisions I have ever made!

Choosing an attorney to represent you in family court is one of the most important decisions you will make in the lives of your children. Steve Epstein was the third attorney I hired for representation and my only regret is that I didn’t find him sooner. Steve brings passion for his work to a whole new level. His attention, enthusiasm, and devotion are unparalleled; he makes you feel like his only client.
In a clear and concise manner Steve explained everything about what to expect throughout my case, leaving no stone unturned, and kept me informed of any updates or changes immediately as they happened. Steve was always available when I needed him; returning my calls, emails, and text messages the same day (usually within the hour) any time I reached out.
However, what I admire most, was Steve’s attention and respect of the needs of my children. He took the time to truly understand all aspects of our family’s relationship, even taking time to make a special trip to my home to gather as much detail as he could, to provide the best possible representation.
I have great respect and gratitude for Steve Epstein for his assistance to me and my family. My children are happier, and my ex-wife and I can better communicate due, in large part, to Steve’s influence. If you are reading this then you too are likely looking for representation in a family law case. I highly recommend Steve Epstein for his passion, his care, and his devotion.

Steve represented me in a custody and child support case. Unlike any other attorney I've worked with, in any field, Steve was a master at educating me in the process. His strategy was effective in attaining a fair compromise, and he communicated in terms that I could relate to and understand. More important, it was Steve's values throughout the process that impressed me. My case involved children, and Steve always made sure the priorities of the children were not lost in the compromise between parents. Bottom line, Steve is not only a great attorney, but also a great person. If you ever find yourself in need of family law representation, Steve is simply the best.

For the majority of my 17-year marriage, I'd been a trusting, stay-at-home wife, and mother to our 2 children. Unfortunately, our issues became problems we could not solve, and I ultimately faced the fact that I would never be completely happy if our marriage continued. Once I made it clear to my husband that I wanted a divorce, the verbal and mental abuse I'd suffered for so long, became even worse, and I felt even more threatened, frightened, and stressed than I'd ever been in my life. I was dealing with a very complicated separation, and divorce, along with total estrangement from our two teenage children. It was my GREAT fortune that a dear friend referred me to Steven Epstein, and to my relief, I was given an appointment for a consultation immediately. Steve listened patiently, and with empathy, to the struggles I'd faced for the majority of my marriage, along with the unfortunate, and significant, struggles I was presently facing with my relationships with our children. I could not have been more embarrassed by emotional state, but Steve never once made light of the extreme emotions, or stress with which I was dealing. He immediately swooped in, like Superman, and took as much stress from my shoulders as he was able, and began to thoroughly dig into my case. I very quickly realized Steve was the best asset I had. We moved at a crisp pace, but he was entirely thorough--exhausting every legal avenue possible. He never once did anything without making me fully aware of the situation. Throughout every step of the process, he remained kind, supportive, understanding, and made it his priority to explain every single thing that was, or would be happening. This level of open, and honest, communication had never before been my reality while married...I knew more about my marriage AFTER meetings with Steve, than in the 17 years I was married to my husband. By staying in constant contact with me, I felt a sense of control over my own life, and assured that my wants, needs, and concerns were in good hands, being addressed, and taken care of. I must have asked a thousand questions, but never once did any go unanswered, nor were they ever ignored or treated as unimportant. Due to Steve's incredible vigilance in getting EVERYTHING needed to do his very best work, and by making it clear that we would NOT settle for anything less than I deserved...I came away with an alimony and equitable distribution settlement, and a custody agreement that FAR exceeded my expectations---all in RECORD TIME...literally!!! Looking back...Steve's extreme competence, patience, and preparedness, was just half of what helped me get through my personal nightmare. The emotional support, and acceptance of my frazzled, stressed out, state of mind, was JUST as important as his legal advice and representation. Steve is always "ON GO" and eager to help resolve any issue...no matter how minor. Steve's professionalism, legal proficiency, kindness, empathy, willingness to go above and beyond, understanding, and dedication to achieving the best possible results for his clients, is TRULY what helped me get through the darkest days of my life. I could never put a price on the peace of mind I received from Steve, and from the support of every member of his team. Not only is HE the BEST, but his team and support staff can't be beat. I am forever grateful he was working for ME! If you find yourself in need of an exceptional divorce attorney, look no further than Steven Epstein!!! Believe me, you do NOT want him working for the other side!

Steve Epstein is a consummate professional, with a genuine passion for family law. This is a man with true integrity, who will work tirelessly on your behalf. He is extremely detail oriented, truly compassionate, and most of all, honest. Steve helped me navigate and ultimately settle an Alienation of Affections and Criminal Conversation case to my complete satisfaction. The case took around eight months, but represented over seven years of my life. I really could not have asked for a better outcome. Steve always made himself available to me and was always happy to take the time to answer my questions. He is tough as nails, but also happens to be a really nice guy. I would happily recommend his services to anyone in need of a good family lawyer.

I can not say enough of how pleased we were with our selection of Steven as my attorney. My custody trial was one of the hardest things I have ever been through in my life and my extended families life. He gave me the confidence through his experience and guidance to get through it. There was never a time he was not there for me, or left me waiting for extended periods of time for a call or email back. In fact, his follow up and punctuality is second to none. His professionalism and legal knowledge are just as impressive. All that being said, there was a bonus with Steve by my side. He generally cares for not just the client(me), but my children. I knew he wanted the best for me and my family. In summary, Steven Epstein is a fantastic family attorney. I cant thank him enough for the job he did. I do not wish anyone to have to go through what I did, but if they do Steve is the first name I will give them.
