Robert B Kornitzer

I usually don’t write reviews, but after seeing someone criticize Bob unfairly, I felt compelled to share my experience. Bob has been an extraordinary advocate for me during one of the most challenging times in my life, and I believe others should know the truth about his character and professionalis...m. When I couldn’t afford his standard rates, Bob cut his fees nearly in half to ensure I could get the legal help I desperately needed. Through a grant from a domestic violence support organization, Bob not only accepted their reduced payment but also retroactively applied the same discounted rate to work he had already completed before the grant was approved. This kind of compassion and integrity is rare. Moreover, Bob has never pressured me about payments or complained about how long it’s taken me to settle my legal bills. His focus has always been on helping me, not the money. For anyone wondering if such generosity comes at the expense of skill—let me assure you, it doesn’t. Bob is at the top of his field. He’s been recommended as an arbitrator by judges and Beis Din alike, and he’s a highly respected attorney who has won countless cases. Beyond his legal expertise, Bob is a deeply supportive and calming presence. When my ex-husband was at his most abusive, Bob walked me through the situation step by step, offering both practical advice and emotional reassurance. His recommendation to keep a co-parenting journal has proven invaluable in court, and his strategic guidance has been spot-on every time. Bob’s knowledge, experience, and professionalism are unmatched. He is smart, thorough, kind, and deeply God-fearing. If I could give him more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. To anyone in need of a lawyer who is both highly skilled and genuinely compassionate, Bob is the one you want by your side.

Bob handled my Divorce from a very difficult husband who fought me for over two years over every single issue he could fight me on. Bob encouraged me to apply to the Court to recover my legal fees for this unconscionable waste of legal fees cause by my ex, and he was successful in recovering a lot o...f my legal fees and got my ex declared in Bad Faith with the Court. I am thankful to Bob for his hard work, his great instincts and recommend him highly!!

My experience couldn't be more different than the one glowing review above. Robert handled my divorce and his performance was an unmitigated disaster- a result of a string of bad advice, poor legal strategy, and a focus on his fees rather than my goals. He aggressively pursued the last dollar of his ...inflated fees despite having cost me tens of thousands of dollars in penalties for following his advice. Would give zero stars if I could.

Bob has been my lawyer through a very long divorce (4+ years). He has helped me through some tough times and has always supported me. His writing and summations are excellent and his knowledge of the law is top-notch. The guidance that Bob has provided me has been very accurate and put me in bette...r positions legally.
