I was introduced to Steven because I was about to have life threatening surgery . I needed to plan my estate if the surgery failed. Steven took complex questions and created easy solutions. He is a Godsend. He is kind , easy to work with and VERY smart. I survived the surgery, yet still make little changes to my estate planning. Steven is always there to help and offer suggestions. My wife and I are so lucky to have Steven Zipper by our side. He is the best!

My brother passed away unexpectedly this past year and it threw our small family into a tailspin of grief, despair, disbelief, and disarray. Dad and I came to Steve because we wanted to ask him some questions about an LLC we shared. Steve met with my dad and I and walked us through the fact that neither of us had any kind of estate plan in place. When we first went in, before the meeting, Dad said that he was going to do any kind of legal paperwork through an online process. After our initial meeting with Steve, Dad changed his mind. Steve listened intently to our story about my brother, asked questions about what we were trying to do, and offered us solutions we didn't even realize we needed. Dad was able to document his wishes regarding his end of life care for when the time comes, along with completing other necessary estate papers. I did the same. Now, we both feel so much more secure that if something should happen to either of us, our family knows our wishes and Steve will take care of us. Steve is a man of integrity, compassion, a quiet sense of humor, and he is super efficient at what he does. His support team is right at his side, offering seamless care. I can't thank him enough for doing his job with grace. I would recommend him in a heart beat.

I am a retirement specialist with New York Life and I love to be able to refer clients to good attorneys that I trust, Steve is that guy. I know he will take care of my clients and I don't have to worry about them being taken advantage of or over paying for something they don't need. I personally use Steve for my own family and have referred my entire extended family to him as well. Thanks for all your help Steve!

Steve was recommended to us by our financial planner and surpassed our expectations! We had never prepared an estate plan and Steve couldn't have been more straightforward and thorough in his approach with us. He took care to explain things in terms we could understand and we never felt rushed or pressured into anything. Steve was very organized for our meeting and helped us arrive at a wonderful estate plan. Would recommend him to anyone!

Steve Zipper worked tirelessly to get our wills completed and added thoughtful advice and suggestions that we did not consider, all at an affordable price. He's personable, patient, and really seeks to learn about his clients' motivations and goals. Highest rating, highly recommended.

When I was served papers to discontinue my spousal support I contacted a family member who serves as a Judge. I asked her who she felt was the best lawyer to handle my case and she said without hesitation "Kathryn Root at Gevurtz Menashe". I contacted Kathryn at once and she became my advocate with that first conversation. Kathryn was available, supportive, professional, with a great attention to detail. She listened and quickly honed in on what best served my case. Kathryn came up with a clean, organized defense as to why I should retain my spousal support. This was based on law, not just a point that she felt she could sell. It sometimes is hard for me to turn over my trust to others when it comes to situations like litigation but Kathryn earned that trust, and in the end that trust was rewarded in a successful result. I recommend Kathryn Root and hold her in very high regard.

I'm so very grateful that I had the support and counsel of attorney Alex Sutton during the extremely difficult time that marked the end of my 17 year marriage. Mr. Sutton is a very dedicated family law attorney. My divorce was quite complicated, and it was always reassuring for me to know he and his staff were working on my behalf. He is also most kind, intelligent and compassionate, and has excellent writing and communication skills. He was a rock for me during my most trying time, and I was always glad to have him representing me, and have no complaints whatsoever. I trust him completely and was impressed by his professionalism and integrity. The other staff that I encountered at Gevurtz Menashe also were also always very professional, competent, and personable. Highly recommend!! 5 stars.

Shawn Menashe handled my divorce with compassion for both me and my ex-husband. He facilitated agreement on a potentially divisive issue in our offer with great skill, and showed over and over that he would bring the process to as quick a solution as possible. His assistant Nakia Bradley-Lawson and his agent in accounts receivable Kevin Hawkes also provided genuine support through a very painful process. I highly recommend Shawn Menashe and his team.

I am blessed to have found Mr. Joel Geelan to represent me during my divorce. I never thought I would say it but it was a great experience to go through this divorce with Joel in front of me. He was honest and candid with me. He did everything he could to speed up the proceedings and make this process as smooth as possible. I would highly recommend him since he listened to my concerns, addressed everything I said and made things happen. I followed him from one law firm to another because of his diligence and his expertise in what is right but fighting for me when things may not have gone my way. His professionalism during the process as well as his kindness and remaining calm to help me make sound decisions helped me get through this. I could tell that he cared about the outcome for me. He really made the whole entire process worth it. Everything takes time, a lot of work and being a team. We did that!! He did that!! Joel comes highly recommended. He will make it happen for you and he is worth all the time a divorce takes.

Great customer service all around, very prompt and helpful while in the office but also very attentive and easy to communicate outside of the office via email and phone. Quick, professional and efficient, would highly recommend!

Whether you need a Divorce Attorney or an Estate Planner this firm has it all. My journey began with the unwarranted task of finding a Divorce Attorney and I met with Shawn Menashe and immediately knew I would be in the best of hands. If you are looking for a firm that is 100% honest with you during the ineveitable Divorce or knowledge of Estate Planning then this is the only firm you should invest in. Shawn Menashe will either take care of you directly or point you in the right direction that is beneficial to you and your needs. The attorneys with this firm is put together better then any team I have seen. Robert DeMary is an outstanding Attorney in Family Law and with him and Shawn on your side you cant go wrong. They have helped me in everyway from dealing with a messy divorce to planning for the future of my children. I am leaving knowing that I have had nothing but the best from beginning to end. Due to this I look forward to continually working with Attorneys such as Stefan Wolf for the future of my family. I know I leave this working establishment with many friends int he firm and have benefitted from them in both a working environment and look forward to social interaction. They truly are individuals in their field and in life.

I met John Christianson in July, 2014 and he has been an integral part of handling my Dad's trust for the past year. After the death of my father and in crisis he helped guide me through the complicated process of negotiating the estate. John is a genuine, compassionate person and immediately likable. John is easily reachable and quick to respond to my questions. I would also find him to be a brilliant, tough lawyer who tirelessly represented me with passion, intelligence and integrity. It is as if he made for this type of work! He will go very far in this career without a doubt.
