I am in the middle of divorce that involves custody and assets. My case is complicated and been dragging for years. I have interviewed many lawyers and had worked with one prior to Nancie. Unhappy with how it was going, I decided to investigate change of attorney and my friend told me about Nancie.
From first meeting I could tell, I have not met any one who knew the law, had clear picture as to where to take my case, and moved fast on pressing issues. Nancie is easy to talk to, she tells you things direct as they are, she really knows the law and explains it to me so that I can make my decisions informed. Her advice is always smart and to the point. She is a hard worker and sacrificed her personal time, to help me meet deadlines. She treats her clients as they are her only client, giving them all her thought and talent. She is professional and direct but also ethical. She does not take cheap shots at other party but does great job protecting me from personal attacks. I am in good hands now and divorce is moving along more in last year, then in all the years before with previous attorney.
Her office staff also the best I have seen - help full, responsive and courteous.
I am hoping to see the end of the divorce soon, and I know whatever the outcome, it would be the best it could possibly be, with Nancie as my lawyer.

I hired Nancy for a very complicated and challenging case involving my family of origin. In an effort to save time, I'd like to summarize a review of Nancie by saying is a professional, caring, honest problem solver "who gets it!" I echo the other reviewer's words "she's the best."

My Aunt referred me to Nancie. Nancie took care of my Aunts divorce and Nancie son, David took care of my cousins child support case.
I had my first consult with Nancie on December 16, 2002. I was 27 years old at the time and looking for someone to help me with my situation I got myself into. I didn’t listen to my father and I signed papers that my ex-boyfriend and his lawyer presented to me which made the case complicated and caused me to loose custody of my daughter. I was only allowed to see her one overnight visit every thirteen days.
Nancie gave me hope and did not judge me because I know I was naïve to sign those papers. Nancie didn’t condemn me instead she helped me fix the mess I caused. I don’t fear being in family court, I know when I look to my side Nancie is with me. Nancie is very skilled in what she does, negotiating with respect to the other party and the other parties lawyer. Even though the other party’s lawyer talks like I am the worst mother when my only wrong is signing papers. Nancie responds in a respectful tone of voice very mellow and does not talk bad about the other party. Nancie is a one of a kind lawyer.
Nancie is polite to the other lawyers in the court room and knows a lot of the other family lawyers as I watched her greet the other lawyers by first name. She greets the other party with a “hello, how are you.” The other party’s lawyer does not greet me.
Nancie knows what she is doing and will be up front with you and always keep you updated. Nancie is mellow, but don’t let that fool you she can get frisky in negotiating with the other party. Nancie has good morals a lawyer with a heart, but firm in the court room.
In results of Nancie's hard work I have gained joint physical and legal custody, even though the child resides with the father I have gained more time then what I had in the beginning. Custody cases are sometimes never ending. In 2006 the father tried to move our daughter away without consulting with me instead I received a letter of move.
I was back in court again with my one of a kind lawyer Nancie. This was a bad move on the father's part. Nancie represented greatly in court and the courts granted for my daughter to reside with me my daughter was eleven years old at the time.
In 2007 I was given an opportunity to bond with my daughter everyday for that year. It was a blessed year; I owe this to my Lawyer Nancie who is my angel. Nancie continued to fight for me to have time with my daughter.
After a year the mediators felt in the best interest of the child she should go back with her father because of the stronger bond they share. Nancie advised me and I agreed in the best interest of the child to not fight in court to let her go back. Nancie was by my side every step of the way. Very rocky path for me, Nancie eased the pain with kindness and concern.
Nancie was there by my side, she was there to comfort me as I cried. The time I met Nancie I had no hope and I was not at peace. Nancie has helped me gain what I have lost and gave me peace of mind. I continue to consult with Nancie as my family lawyer until now. Nancie is trustworthy.
If you are looking for a family lawyer or need peace of mind for a custody issue I highly recommend Nancie Yomtov as a Family Lawyer.

Nancie Yomtov was my lawyer in a very difficult divorce case with contentious child custody issues. Ms. Yomtov was the competent and calming element that helped close the matter with reasonable results. Without exception, I trust her judgement and advice to be in the best interest of her client and the children (if a custody issue).

Nancie,
Is honest, direct, professional and cares about her clients. I have known Nancie for about 16 years. I met her in 1993 as a referral to represent my children in a difficult child custody dispute. She was honest and professional about the possible outcomes and represented my children and cared about what was in their best interest. The outcome was in my children's favor. Nancie has represented our family several times since as well as assisted me with a will and advice regarding my children. She is knowledgeable about the laws and interest of children and family matters and she cares about what is in the best interest of the children. I recommend Nancie and trust her judgements. She always kept me informed of the process and discussed the best outcome. She is direct and trustworthy.

In 1999 I was in the unfortunate situation of being the victim of domestic violence and deciding to leave my husband with which I had a young son. At the time, a family friend in the legal field asked her contacts for a recommendation for a family lawyer in my area and the word came back unanimously as Nancie Yomtov. I hired Nancie right away and ten years later I am still working with her.
Nancie is a fantastic lawyer and an even better person. She has seen me through many trials and tribulations on my case which is still active. I have appreciated Nancie's wisdom, guidance and advice through the whole process. Nancie is not only amazingly fair, but she has given me strong advice with all facts every step of the way. She listens to what I want to do and what my concerns are and has consistently given me advice that I can trust. I feel that my son has been very well cared for and protected because of her.
In addition to all of this, Nancie has always been fantastic about trying to cut my costs. If there are things that I can do instead of her she gives me the option to do them myself or pay her to do.
I trust Nancie implicitly and have never once regretted my decision to hire her. Given my case, I am sure that I will be working with Nancie for several years to come and that she will continue to provide me with the great support that she has done.
I can with absolutely no hesitation recommend Nancie very highly. If you are looking for an effective, ethical lawyer with many years of experience who will fight tirelessly for you, Nancie is your person.

Nancie helped me through a difficult divorce 8 years ago, with a pre-nuptual agreement and also with a child support order for my brother. I was a little concerned she wasn't tough enough as my divorce started to go bad, so I called an old family friend/attorney who referred me to Nancie to ask him if she was able to handle my case as it became more of a battle. He said don't worry. He was right. She always remained calm, cool and collected. She was fair and kind, but when we got to court she skillfully disected their claims one by one. Opposing counsel had to be embarrassed. I've referred her to several people and have only had good feedback. Even my ex-wife has referred her clients!
She later helped me with a pre-nup and my brother with a child support order. She's the best.
