Anat Gordon

Anat Gordon, Esq., Ed.D. was the attorney who served as the certified mediator in a family law matter. Initially, she gave me a free consultation to see if she was right for our case. I liked her immediately because of her (25) years of experience and two masters degrees in psychology. She used he...r counseling skills and mediation skills well in helping us come to an agreement about our almost grown children and the economic issues which were still pending. She charged a very reasonable fee (between $200 and $250 per hour) and even provided us, as a courtesy, with sample pleadings after we signed off on the memorandum of settlement agreement which she aptly drafted. She was always prepared, outlined agreed upon and outstanding issues on a poster board, an did all tasks for the mediation in a timely manner, such as a child support calculations, etc. I highly recommend her.

Ms. Gordon served as my attorney in two business trial matters and has continued to be a source of legal advice on employments matters. She was successful in winning a trial on a written breach of contract case on my behalf and also achieved very good results in a verbal breach of contract case. Sh...e fully prepared for trial in both matters, doing discovery and appearances in a timely manner, hiring and guiding experts, doing excellent legal research and writing with her associate, and being fully prepared in court appearances. In the first matter we tried the matter and won because the other side was unreasonable in its demands. In the second matter, because it was a case based on a verbal agreement which was less clear, Ms. Gordon negotiated a reasonable settlement in chambers with a law division judge, after being fully prepared for trial. I highly recommend Ms. Gordon because of her many years experience and legal savvy.

I have known Anat Gordon, Esq. for many years and she served as my attorney in several capacities. She represented me in a sexual harassment case against a school district and school principal that was not only a published case in law books (Paternoster v. Shuster) but was a leading case for woman's... rights in employment matters and for "injunctive relief". We were published in the New York Times and the Star Ledger on a daily basis during the month long trial in which we prevailed before a civil jury. Afterwards, we were on TV in WABC and other TV channels. Ms. Gordon is an able attorney. She was always prepared; great on her feet; and sought the best experts to serve with her in the case. Later, she gave me advice on a number of matters and was always smart, attentive and honest. She will tell you like it is and not tell you what you want to hear.

This entire experience was a nightmare. This attorney was disorganized, unprepared and appearance dissheveled at times. Arrived late for meetings and court dates ,(90 minutes late once for court), or just canceled at the last minute. Seemed to be trying to make the process take much longer than neede...d.
