Outstanding Lawyer who is punctual and attentive.
I hired Steven to take over my divorce case that was already in default. Steven competently and quickly reviewed the details of the case. He was extremely knowledgeable and made a very difficult process much more manageable. On a personal level, Steven is kind and compassionate. He is very responsive, understanding, and professional, even when I kept emailing him non stop with issues dealing with my ex husband and our hearing, he always answered me and was very understand and helped get what was best for me and my children. After a favorable result in the divorce, I also used Steven in post divorce matters. I am dealing with an extremely difficult and non-compliant individual, and Steven helped enforce the original court order. I couldn’t possibly give a higher recommendation than Steven. I will keep posting as I am sure I will be filing future motions and always use Steven as my lawyer.

Cannot ask for a better family lawyer
To say Steven Cytryn is a good attorney is an understatement. He represented me in a complicated divorce -jurisdiction, inter-state custody battle and won the case for me when the odds were not in my favour. This was a hard fought case, where Steven was up against not one but two attorneys with fancy credentials that represented my husband. The successful judgements he obtained were all challenged at the higher courts by my husband and Steven won the appeals as well. Steven was calm and collected throughout. His moves were strategic and he was always one step ahead in anticipating and preparing for what to expect from the opposing attorney. He was incisive and factual with his oral arguments and it was clear by the Judges’ response that his arguments were well received that ultimately won the case.He has a commanding presence in the court appearances. I decided on hiring Steven after having spoken to at least 10 other attorneys. His advice was the one that worked. Despite his busy schedule he made himself available,was reachable and kept me informed about what to expect each step of the way and was my voice of reason when my emotions ran high and my nerves were frayed. He was a stark contrast to my other attorney that represented me in the other state. Among my team of three attorneys two in the other state (an appeals attorney and a family law attorney), Steven was the absolute best. He was always professional and also very considerate. He is a straight shooter, he will not sugar coat things that you want to hear just to take your money, rather he will listen to your concerns and strategize with you to give you a leg up and win your case for you. He is a rare find of a wealth of knowledge and expertise in family law combined with compassion and reasonable fees, a rarity in lawyers. I feel that he is a good human being overall and the compassion, consideration for others comes naturally to him. I am fortunate that he agreed to take on my case. Without any hesitation whatsoever, I highly recommend his services. He is worth every penny and definitely someone who you want in your corner when you’re going through the toughest challenges in life.

I could not have found a better lawyer to deal with each of my issues
I can’t say enough about Steven. I had some truly unique problems with my divorce. Not only did Steven meet me the same day I called him (even though he didn’t have the time), he understood exactly what approach was needed to resolve my challenges. I felt like I was being assisted by a family member or friend. He knew I was my worst enemy was me and explained in as much detail as I needed, which road we needed to go down to resolve each and every obstacle. He allowed me to get sleep at night. I could not have found a better lawyer to deal with each of my issues.

I was quite pleased with him and his superior knowledge in trials .I would highly recommend  Mr. Steven Cytryn  ESQ.

Divorce and Custoday
When I met Steven in person he was very easy to discuss my case with and extremely knowledgeable of the laws. He was able to take my case and help me with a difficult divorce as I had advised him of how difficult it would be with my now ex. Steven was very professional and made sure he always did what was in the best interest of his client. He always maintained and stayed on top of all issues even at time when we was having difficulty getting responses for the other attorney. His professionalism shows great fortitude and keeps him on track. His belief is what he doesk never waivered even through time when I didn't think it would be over. I would highly recommend Steven Cytryn to any of my friends/or co-workers that are looking for a good lawyer. Steven has something different then most Divorce attorney's have. Steven is dedicated to his client. I never felt like just another case. He is a rare and very experienced lawyer who has a vast knowledge of the law but still maintain his humanity when talking with his clients. So if you ever need a good attorney in a divorce proceeding I recommend him. His office is professional and he legal secretary Stephen is always on the top of her game. I was truly happy to have him represent me.

Child Custody
Very easy to get a hold of through phone or email.. He was also very helpful with the many questions I had.. Honest on explaining truthful outcome based on his experiences. Once it came down to going into that room for my case he was very nice but at the same time aggressively fighting and explaining why things should go in my favor. Very Happy I hired him to represent me. 11-22-16

Child support ( out of state case )
I live in Pennsylvania and needed a lawyer to handle a child support case in New Jersey. I contacted Steve online with the details of the case file. He responded back right away and had a phone consult for about a half hour. He answered all my questions and agreed on a fee. Which I thought was extremely reasonable. Then most of the paperwork was faxed or e-mailed between us which was quick and very easy. Steve then filed the paper work and motion and we had a court date within a month. As I mentioned before it was a little complicated with all the parties in different states. The case involved three children and emancipation and ending the supports payment. I have to say I finally met Steve the day of our hearing at the court house and we went over all of the paper work . I have to say all of the T's were crossed and the I's dotted. The hearing took all of about ten minutes and everything worked in my favor. Completely satisfied with the whole experience. Thanks Again Steve

Steven is an excellent attorney. Not only is he knowledgeable, understanding and patient, but he is always there to communicate with you as soon as he can; whether it is in person, by text, e-mail or phone. He explains a lot of the legal mumbo jumbo that makes you scratch your head sometimes. Everyone's case is unique, and Steven has the ability to recognize that and guide you with his very best efforts. After a consultation with him, you will understand for yourself why I recommend him highly.

Brilliant - Prepared - Kind - Accessible
I was very fortunate to have Steven Cytryn as my attorney. I was involved in a very complicated, emotional estate case and, throughout the process, he was a beacon of support and wisdom. His thoroughness is unprecedented as he read through hundreds of pages of records to prepare for the case. Mr. Cytryn was always available for questions and prepared me for the deposition procedure. I had never been involved in any legal proceedings and his calm direction gave me the confidence and insight into what to expect. I couldn’t be more thankful since I was faced with an extremely aggressive and downright frightening litigator. Had I not been so well prepared, it would have surely shaken me, and the outcome may have been very different. If you are looking for a lawyer that is both brilliant and a pleasure to work with I would recommend Steven Cytryn for all your legal needs.

Expert Lawyer, Class act
We used Mr Cytryn for a family matter and were very pleased with his service. Through the entire process we were expertly represented. Mr Cytryn kept us informed in an understandable yet professional manner. He understood our case quickly and was very sensitive to using his time were it was most value added. We have already recommended him to 2 people and would no doubt use him again.

Awesome lawyer!
Steve went so far above and beyond the call of duty for us at all times. He made sure to answer all of our emails (let me tell you I'm a little crazy and have an anxiety disorder so there were ALOT of emails haha) in a timely manner making sure to keep our best interest as top priority while also telling us like it is in order to ensure the best experience possible and the best outcome we could achieve. Although we didn't get everything we wanted because of laws tying the judge's hands, we got most of it and then some thanks to Steve's confidence, timeless effort, and compassion.

family court
Steven did an amazing job representing me during a family court matter, making a very stressful and difficult situation much easier. He did an amazing job sorting though a large amount of very confusing financial information and personal facts, organizing and presenting it to the court in an easy to understand fashion. He was able to negotiate a settlement throughout a situation when I did not think it possible. I could not recommend him more highly.

Family Law Review
From my perspective, Mr. Steven Cytryn, is the best lawyer I have met in the Family Law field. It's funny because I had actually worked out a plan with one of the partners at the firm he works at. We had found out once the case was scheduled on the docket that the lawyer I had met with was unable to represent me for that day. He said not to worry, I was going to work with Mr. Cytryn. From that point on, I am exceedingly happy with him. He dedicates an amazing amount of time to your case even if your not corresponding everyday. He is ALWAYS PREPARED. He is so very educated, do not let his youth fool you. Yet he can still simplify things for people who are unfamiliar with the family court world, like myself in the beginning. The first Lawyer I ever hired, NOT from the firm Mr. Cytryn works out of. Sold me a dream, but did not deliver. In fact his ego was so large he felt like he didn't need any history or any evidence, "He did these cases in his sleep." At court I looked like an absolute fool. I see many people fall into the same trap I did my first try. My second try, though I had Mr. Cytryn by my side. We have been to court a few times for a few different matters and he has always given me "Best Case Scenario" vs "Worse Case Scenario". He's never sugar coated anything to make himself look good, and he's only EVER represented me with the absolute respect. Honestly, when you're in a situation where your child's best interest is at stake, what matters more? Representation with no ego attached, just facts. A lawyer who want history from over "X" amount of years ago. A lawyer who is going to ADVOCATE for you and the ones you love. He cannot make the judges mind up on the topic, but he can show the judge ALL the things they are supposed to know. I will forever be grateful for him.

Estate/Tenants in common
Meeting Steven for the first time my siblings and I were at ease right from the start. He asked the questions, we gave the answers. He was detailed to the final minutes of our trial. My mom passed away and owned a home with another person, because there was no will, we seeked help and went to Stevens firm. He advised me as the oldest child what my responsibilites were and what I needed to do legally to protect my moms intrest. The other owner filed suit against us and thats when Steven went into high gear and began his case, a case that we won. Steven is compassionate, sincere, honest, professional and detailed lawyer. I feel very confident that if I need to find legal representation or anyone I know is seeking legal representation I and my siblings would recommend Steven Cytryn.
