Jean Mahserjian’s office was recommended to me by several acquaintances that all had direct positive experiences. I found their office to meet and exceed all of the expectations I had. If you are going to see an attorney it is not always for the most pleasant reasons. Jean was great in explaining all that I needed to know and more importantly listening to my concerns and adapting the general direction and demeanor of her techniques to fit my concerns. Jean and her staff’s wealth of knowledge and experience were critical in helping me to come to a positive resolution in a timely manner for the matter I was involved in. I would highly recommend Jean Mahserjian.

Words cannot describe how helpful and caring this law firm is. I was represented a few years ago in a divorce, and they did an ABSOLUTELY amazing job with a very tough situation. I needed some help with filing for custody of my daughter about 6 months ago and reached out to them and sat with Jean and she guided me through what my options were. The best part was she listened and was the most concerned about my daughter and what was right for her. She set me up with one of her attorney's there that was more familiar with the county I had to file in and after meeting with her (Jennifer) we sat and drew up the paperwork and filed. Throughout this stressful time the entire staff there was so helpful every step of the way and would respond so quickly with advice if needed. In late November I was awarded custody, now that was priceless. You guys are the best and what you have helped me with is priceless to my family and I. Thank you Jean, Jennifer, Alexis and Lindsey.

I met with Jean for an initial consult prior to my divorce, and she was honest and supportive, which I really needed! I wound up mediating my divorce, but used Jean to file the paperwork. She and her staff were very helpful and supportive; my phone calls and emails were all returned promptly. Her staff is very friendly! I would definitely recommend Jean to any of my friends!

I am so glad I decided to use Jean. M. Mahserjian for my divorce/separation/custody case. Extremely good communication, timeline was accurate, and was practically hassle free. The hardest part was finding a notory in my state! Thank you so much!!!

I used the office of Jean M. Mahserjian for my divorce procedure. Everyone I was in contact with was friendly, professional, and treated me with respect. The turn-around time on any of my inquiries was very fast. They answered all of my questions and made sure I was well taken care of. Going through a divorce is a very difficult process, but they made every effort to keep me informed on timelines along the way, what to expect, and, in my opinion went above the "norm". I filed for divorce the week of Christmas, and they had a rough draft of the divorce in my hands within days. They even provided me guidance with how to change my name. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make a horrible time in my life as easy as possible on me and my daughter. I highly recommend them.

I was only allowed to choose 3 attributes for Jean's "Top Attributes" on the LinkedIn website which is a pity because she has so many more. I have been through several Custody, Support Modification and Child Support disputes with Jean and she is excellent. She represents what YOU want yet gives her honest opinion on positions. She is personable, a good listener but can be very tough when she needs to be on your behalf. Jean's support staff is outstanding, reliable and trustworthy. They all do their homework which leads to great and fair results. Highly recommended.

I have known Jean Mahserjian for more than 20 years. She has provided excellent service to me in handling back tax matters. She is tenatious, meticulous in all details and extremly efficient so that my legal costs were "spot on" reasonable.
I also enjoyed working with Jean on the Clifton Park, NY Industrial Development Agecy. Jean served as their coporate council and provided valuable legal advice to me and the clients that I presented to this fine agency.
I would recommend Jean for any legal work that one would want.

I met Jean when my ex-wife launched a viscous and untrue attack against me in her attempt to manipulate the courts to take away all of my parental rights. Jean not only countered this attack but obtained a much more fair and equitable custody situation that is shared now. She was ready at every step of the way and ahead of the very dirty lawyer that my ex-wife hired. She didn't need to stoop to the low levels that this lawyer tried to sink to. Her integrity and professionalism showed at every step in the process. I would give her the very highest recommendation that I can give for anyone who has a situation that is highly stressful and combative. She brought the playing field back to a level and fair situation for me.

“Jean is thorough divorce attorney that I found to be very knowledgable and helpful for me during my divorce. She and her staff made the process as smooth as possible and were always available for questions. I'd highly recommend the online process that Jean offers.†August 20, 2008

I would recommend Ms. Mahserjian to anyone needing an intelligent, attentive and savvy attorney. Legal issues are complex, especially child support and custody issues. She prepares well, and keeps your interests as the priority.

Jean is an outstanding attorney. When I needed her services, she came through going above and beyond my expectations. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to her as I have complete confidence that she would do for them equally as well as she did for me!

Great group to work with. They are knowledgeable, efficient and respectful. Have recommended them to several friends and family and they have all been happy as well. Keep up the good work!

I have sent about 5 friends to Jean for advice and all have retained her.
Jean handled my divorce, which had some particularly difficult financial issues to iron out. There were three things that I really liked about the service:
1) Jean's ability to explain the process and strategy took a lot of stress out of the event
2) Her deep local experience gives her client an edge in understanding what to expect from the various people, organizations and agencies they will encounter during the process.
3) I was very pleased with Jean's attempts to keep the legal expenses down

I came to Jean with a tax issue and she told me the up front fee of $1500 would cover the process from begining to end. She also gave me an 8 week timeframe for settlement. 10 weeks in she asked me for another retainer to file a 6 page tax document. She did nothing to resolve my case and I was left to file for bankruptcy. I don't believe she is honest or cares at all about her tax business. She promises desperate people results and failed to deliver for me. I think most of her time is spent on divorce law. Do not use this lawyer for tax issues, she will not help you much, if at all.
Lawyer’s Comment:
Chris - As you and I both know, the cost and time quoted to you for the tax work you requested was based on your representation that you were current on all of your tax filings. You were not.
While you may have been "desparate", your were not honest with me. Your lack of honesty caused difficulties for your case, including my inabiity to lift a levy imposed by the IRS. That levy could not be lifted because of the unfiled tax return.
All of the work that you retained my office for was very promptly and thoroughly completed by my office. Additional work was also done in an attempt to sort out your delinquent tax situation after I learned that your tax filings were not current.
Unfortunately, the delays caused by the need to prepare and file your delinquent tax return required that my office undertake additional work to get your levy lifted. You wanted my office to undertake that work for free, even though your misrepresentation of your tax filings caused the problem. I did not agree to undertake more work for you without a charge and you are upset because I would not do that work for free.
Your posting her is absolutely dishonest and you acknowledged all of these issues in an email exchange with me.
