Stephen A. Drazin’s Reviews

Mr Drazin never informed me of his reprimand that occurred which is why he doesnt represent his clients "DRAZIN, Stephen A. - Commission reprimand for failing to deposit and maintain an unearned portion of his client’s advance retainer in an attorney trust account for safekeeping until such funds were earned as fees or used as expenses related to the representation. He also, failed to keep his client reasonably informed about the status of the representation."

He uses a very inexperienced attorney "Carey Jacobson" who doesnt know how to represent herself amongst attorneys and charges too much for her lack of experience. I would never recommend this firm. The communication factor is very poor and you are guaranteed to have an attorney with little knowledge but continue to charge you for services!

Extremely pleased with the results of my case! I highly recommend anyone who is worrying about how to handle any of their legal matters to contact Mr. Stephen Drazin. I was very pleased with Mr. Drazin handling my case. He is very professional and immediately put my mind at ease! He takes time with you to help you understand exactly what you are dealing with! He took inventory of every aspect of my case; ensuring that he was knowledgeable about historic events which lead me to my case, sharing insight about the current laws, explaining things I clearly did not understand and supporting me the entire time. Further, he was punctual at each phase of my case; on time, organized and always attentive to any questions I needed an answer to. Also, I am thoroughly impressed with his staff. The staff are very friendly and will respond to you immediately (i.e. in office, via phone or email). I HIGHLY recommend anyone who needs a lawyer to represent them to the fullest extent of the law, to contact Mr. Drazin. You will be pleased!

A divorce lawyer is not a miracle worker. By the time you see him, you have to treat your marriage as a financial and legal problem, not an emotional one. Leave your spouse bashing behind and let him extricate you from your nightmare as best he can. Give him facts, all the detailed documentation you can and answer his questions completely, honestly and accurately. He will review the information you present and will do what he can to obtain information you may not have. To get information like bank records is expensive. You have to pay banks a fee to obtain records and he, of course, passes that on to you. You will pay for photocopying, postage, subpoenas, his time, his assistants' time and other necessary costs to get your divorce effectuated.

My experience with the Drazin Law Center was that my costs were reasonable. He and his staff knew my case inside and out and did a splendid job in my estimation. My emails, phone calls and requests for consultations were addressed promptly and given the attention they required. Know that you are paying a professional many dollars per minute for his time and paying him thousands of dollars is not easy. Do you do that and win your case, or hire a cut-rate firm and lose?

In all disputes, you need to know your position and know how much you should compromise. I did not expect to get awarded every demand in my complaint -- if you have such expectations and come up short, don't blame your attorney.

Mr Drazin prepared my case well. Communicate to him what you feel is important. Be clear on your chances of winning your demands. Ask him for his honest estimation of your chances. If you have a nagging question about your case, ask him early on. You are paying him for his experience and abiltiy to judge human nature -- which he does quite well. Let him work for you.

I sat in court with Mr Drazin and one of his colleagues. He was very well prepared, deliberate, confident and quick on his feet when some rulings did not go our way. As his client, you hire him to obtain an objective. In my case, that was a divorce, He succeeded in that assignment. I was quite pleased with his performance and had him prepare my will, power of attorney and other matters. I would hire him for other matters should the need arise.

Hey, beware of this guy. His main goal is to get all the martial assets for himself.

He made my divorce take 10 times as long as it should have been by constantly accusing my ex of everything under the son.

Did we win. Yep. Sure did.

What did I get? Everything, then I had to hand it over to him to pay his bill.

What else did I get? A ticket off ex husband that I have to deal with the next 10 years because I made him go broke also.

Last year I was blindsided by my wife filing divorce. Being a father of multiple children, I was deeply concerned for the well being and upbringing that they needed, so I researched other lawyers in the area and selected Mr Drazin to represent me. I was never disappointed and never felt that I was compromised by being up against a system which I was told had "favored" women in divorce settlements. I wanted to make certain that I could influence a large part of my children's life as they needed the structure and stability that I could provide for them. Despite the opposition side's tactics to unnerve me into compromising or giving up--Mr. Drazins calm demeanor and guiding advice "won" my case. His presence in court was stellar and judges respect his representation for his clients. He advised that to be successful in court, to be a good parent be always above board and do whats best for the children. He was right. Now I can give my children opportunities that they would never have had and I can steer a course for them that will lead them through towards being kind, successful adults. His assistants are all top notch as well and had spent lots of time researching, planning and preparing my case for trial. While I hope never to be in the same situation again, I can be rest assured that what he has done for myself and my children will always be remembered for taking a negative situation and turning it into a positive fresh start. I would not hesitate to recommend him, especially to fathers who deserve and want to be a responsible parent in their children's lives. Thank you Mr. Drazin!!

Stephen Drazin is a very knowledgeable, competent and intelligent man. He has instilled in me a confidence that he possesses regarding legal matters. His endeavors are all for the best needs of his clients. I have always been totally inpressed with Mr. Drazin's intelligence and perception of what competent action needed to be completed. I also felt very confident regarding the competency of his staff and their professional savy. I would recommend Mr. Drazin to my entire family and friends.

Stephen has been my lawyer since 2007. He has always taken good care of me and I have recommended him to friends and family. I feel fortunate to have found an honest, knowledgable lawyer to help me navigate through any legal issues that I may experience.

I am usually pretty skeptical of any lawyer, especially after some of my previous dealings with lawyers. Then I found myself in the middle of a nasty divorce and a difficult bankruptcy. A friend of mine had used Drazin's services and recommended him. Needless to say I was very skeptical. Lucky for me I was wrong. He has been amazing. He explained each step of the process for me and has made me feel much better about the whole process. His knowledge of the law impresses me each time I deal with him. He has taken a huge amount of stress off of my shoulders during one of the most difficult times of my life. But most importantly he tells me the truth, which is a lot more then I can say about the other lawyers I have dealt with. He is straight forward about what is realistically possible and doesn't promise things because he thinks that's what I want to hear.

Then there is his staff. I have worked with Cary, Jeannine, and Alex. Cary walked me through my bankruptcy hearing and was great. She answered all my questions both before and after the hearing. She is very responsive and has responded within 24 hours to any email or phone call. Jeannine is amazing beyond words. She is so much more than a paralegal. She has handled all my paperwork for both the bankruptcy and divorce. She keeps my documents organized and thanks to her I have the documents I need. Anytime I come in she allows me to vent my frustrations and understands my stresses over the situation. She too will respond within 24 hours of any email I send. Jeannine has been invaluable. As for Alex I just started working with him but he has been as responsive and thorough as the other people in the office so I have confidence in him.

Stephen Drazin is the type of lawyer you want because he has integrity and is the kind of man you are proud to represent you. He knows his stuff and will work harder than any lawyer I have ever met to make sure you are heard. As are the rest of his staff. Stephen Drazin surrounds himself with good people and as a result has created the best law firm I have seen. I would not hesitate to use this office again or recommend it. If you need a lawyer there is no other choice.

After two other Divorce lawyers, in a highly contested case, I retained Stephen Drazin and the Drazin Law Center, P.A. For the first time, I had an attorney who explained the entire process, the strategy, and focused on my goals. We were successful. I only wish I hired Stephen at the beginning and, thus, would have saved myself tens of thousands of dollars.

Stephen handled a Personal Financial matter for me. He was very easy to talk with, understanding and made a me feel comfortable. He advised me of everything that would happen with my case. He is a very honest up front person. He has no hidden surprises. Rochell his assistant is very helpful as well. The Drazin Law Group is wonderful.

Stephen A Drazin made a perhaps complex and difficult task easy and understandable. As important to me, he and his staff were sensitive and courteous. I left his office thinking I had met something rare these days, an unpretentious yet gracious gentleman.

I have had an ongoing custody case for 5 years and through it all, Stephen has kept me informed, been honest and worked with me regarding my financial situation. I don't think I would have been able to keep it together, my ex is relentless and not once has Stephen told me give up or lose hope. As far as I am concerned Stephen is the best Attorney anyone can have on your side. He is an Angel in disguise.

I have worked with Mr. Drazin for the past year and a half and have been very pleased with his work on my behalf. I have recommended several of my friends to him and will continue to do so. Their experiences were all positive as he worked effectively on their behalf as well. He has handled my divorce, will, and power of attorney. He has been honest, direct, realistic about my situations and has not tried to just accomodate what I was asking for. I trusted his advice and guidance and will continue to do so in the future.

Extremely professional and efficient, Stephen Drazin represented me for over 12 months during my divorce and child custody hearings after taking over representation from a less capable attorney. He and his staff are very knowledgeable, competent and responsive. I will continue to utilize this attorney for my legal needs and would readily recommend him to any one who is needing representation in a difficult divorce or custody situation.

I started using Drazin 10 years ago for my divorce and have since used him for multiple other services, will, power of attorney, etc. I have also recommended him to my family and friends for various services and he has been the best lawyer I have ever met. With my most recent legal need I emailed him on a Tuesday morning, had an appoinment by 3 pm that afternoon and had the completed documents in my hands by Thursday morning. I have never had such an attentive and supportive attorney. He worked with me on his fees and I found his cost to be much more consumer friendly then other attorney's. In addition my son wanted to do an adult adoption several months ago. Drazin worked with him on what he could afford based on him being a college student with limited funds. He was supportive and quickly responded to all of my sons needs. I cannot imagine using any other attorney and based on my 10 years of working with him I cannot imagine why anyone would use a different attorney.

Mr. Drazin consistently provides impeccable representation to each of his clients. His staff is diligent in keeping each client informed regarding the status of his or her matter. Mr. Drazin is incredibly knowledgeable about the law and always acts in a professional manner.

I retained Stephen Drazin for my Divorce after interviewing two other Divorce attorneys. It was the best decision I ever made. Compared to other attorneys I've dealt with in the past, he was a godsend. During the litigation, he exhibited cool under pressure and a knowledge that far surpassed my wife's attorney. Drazin's staff was courteous and kept me well informed. Stephen Drazin encourages direct client contact in the Office, that I was hesitant to utilize at first (due to Divorce lawyer's hourly fees) however, every meeting was well worth it. I highly recommend him.

I felt like I was rushed through our entire court process. As my lawyer he did not take what I wanted in account, instead he was more focused on getting the case over with. He very rarely returned my calls or addressed my concerns. Many times I got the important developments about the case, the court papers etc from the other side's lawyer. He gives the impression that he is a very knowledgeable lawyer, however he never showed real proof of this to me either. I finally went with a different law firm, unfortunately this only took place months of heartache and tens and thousands of dollars later. So in a nutshell make sure you know what you are signing up for.
