The painful reality of a marriage ending is so much to bear on your own. There are so many details that I know I would not have thought of. I am so happy that I found Miriam to help me through this very trying time. Without her compassionate guidance, I don't know if I would have gotten the outcome I... did.

I never expected to find a lawyer who cared about me and not just their pay. Miriam walked me through a very difficult and painful divorce with such care that I almost forgot she was my lawyer and not my friend. I knew every step as it happened and, in the end, I was able to reach a fair agreement. I... am so happy I chose to work with Miriam.

I was faced with a divorce that in the beginning was going to be somewhat of a basic process. It swiftly became complicated and I needed someone with the right knowledge and ability to act on and solve problems. I actually met Miriam through recommendation and she did not disappoint. The initial c...onsultation went smoothly and we came up with a plan of action. As is the case with many divorce situations I was definitely in way over my head and not knowing what was fully at stake. Through the help of Miriam I was able to navigate around all the pitfalls that I would have certainly messed up on if it hadn't been for this law office. I am very happy with the services that were rendered and the outcome of the divorce. This would not have been possible without Miriam and her team Rest assured I recommend this office to anyone looking for help in a divorce proceeding. Thank you for an excellent experience!

When the tail-end of custody negotiations with my son's mother began to go sour, I was referred to Treuhaft & Zakarin Law NYC by my attorney who couldn't continue with my case because of a personal health issue. I'll spare the details of the case, but suffice to say, time was of the utmost essenc...e. Ira took my call late on a Friday, and agreed to take my case with the stipulation that I'd be at his door Monday morning with my documents and retainer. Being an anxious mess through the weekend, I took the opportunity to email him all of the .pdfs I had regarding the case, and was pleasantly surprised when I met him on Monday morning to realize that he'd actually taken his personal time over the weekend to review them, and was already pretty well-versed in the particulars. Our first meeting was efficient and productive, and after an hour and a half, he'd formulated a very concise course of action. The following month of proceedings went smoothly, without mud-slinging or needless posturing, and the judgment was very much acceptable to me. Though lawyers are a necessary evil when dealing with such emotionally charged issues, I found Ira's savvy balance of tough advocacy and personal realism refreshing. At one point when I found myself beginning to feel punitive towards my ex (which can happen even to the best of people), He quickly and compassionately steered the ship back towards the real argument... what is best for the child. And that is what he ensured. He is smart as a whip and tough as nails when he needs to be, but both are tempered by an obvious true moral compass. He under-promised and over-delivered. Ira, I can't tell you enough how much I thank you for your good work!
