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 fan...cy 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 have never needed a lawyer. I had no idea how to go about finding the right one to represent me in family court. I did an online search and made some calls. Mr. Steven  Cytryn ESQ.really stood out above all others I interviewed. He is extremely thorough and professional fighter in court  . I was qu...ite pleased with him and his superior knowledge in trials .I would highly recommend  Mr. Steven Cytryn  ESQ.

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 extrem...ely 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

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. Cy...tryn 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.
