Jacalyn Fischer Barnett

Jacalyn Barnett is a skilled and experienced attorney with strategic smarts. She quickly sized up my situation and brilliantly maneuvered through the legal proceedings. The result was a fair settlement that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the divorce, Jacalyn’s professionalism, command of the... facts of my case and cool competence in court appearances — along with her caring warmth and sense of humor — inspired confidence and set my mind at ease. Jacalyn and her awesome associates did a great job of communicating what was happening at each step of the case. Their preparation for court appearances and administration of the paperwork and the details of the litigation were always thorough and well organized. Billings were fair and reasonable, and invoices were clear and detailed. I am so glad that I had Jacalyn in my corner. Her advocacy literally got me my life back!

I had no desire to get divorced in the slightest, so when my wife took an aggressively litigated approach to ending our marriage, I was not emotionally prepared for the fight. Jacalyn took control of the situation, fought back against dirty tricks from the other side, obtained a big chunk of cas...h towards my legal fees, sole physical custody for me of our children and 8 years of child support. Wow!

Jacalyn Barnett has the three “C”s – competence, compassion and chutzpah. When I needed help to end a 20-year marriage while balancing the care of my two young daughters and working full time, Jacalyn was there for me. I am a practicing attorney but was not prepared to advocate or negotiate for m...yself, my family and finances through the emotional landmines of a divorce. Jacalyn supported me through the process with her experience, knowledge of the law and responsiveness. I so appreciated her warmth and honesty when reviewing options and approaches. I trusted her judgment completely - especially during those tense negotiations with my ex-husband’s counsel. There were a few times when Jacalyn thought it necessary for a no-holds barred approach. I trusted her judgment (even while my stomach churned), and she succeeded beyond my dreams. I may not have gotten everything I think I wanted, but she got me everything I needed. She was my indefatigable advocate through complicated and emotional negotiations. After we received the Judgment, and toasted her with champagne I can truthfully say: She’s a "b***h", but she’s “my” "b***h". I am grateful to her for helping me through the next stage of life with my daughters.

Jacalyn Barnett (who is located on Madison Avenue in NYC!) exceeded my expectations for expertise, responsiveness, fairness in billing, and availability. Jacalyn demonstrated her commitment to me throughout a complex and protracted matrimonial matter, and was always available to respond to my questio...ns and concerns. Her organizational skills and cost effective approach resulted in bills that were fair and accurate. Her smarts and strategies were directed at solving problems, which she did with fairness and consistency. I recommend her without reservation as I could not have had better representation!!!
