Practical advice

I was represented by one of the best known firms in New York City, but my case was going in circles. A friend suggested I speak with Raunak Kothari and I am so glad I did. Raunak brought clarity to my situation, quickly got my case back on track, resolved the issues my prior attorney could not and br...ought other issues to my attention that I had never considered. Throughout the process, Raunak kept an unwavering focus on my priorities. Before negotiations, he explained the implications of various options, suggested alternatives, anticipated the other side’s arguments and explained the law that applied to my situation. At the four way meeting we finally had, Raunak’s experience really came to shine. He was so practical, clear and persuasive. Even the attorney on the other side could not disagree with his points. Raunak’s calm but firm demeanor gets results. He is open, direct, sharp and responsive. In the end, he had to completely rewrite the agreement my prior attorney had started and the difference was striking. Even though his work was so much better, his fees were lower. After he resolved my case, I have continued to seek his counsel as new circumstances arise.

Kathryn Lazar

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 19

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer for all family related matters. He is a thoughtful, considerate and empathetic person who is also very knowledgeable, thorough and competent. I recommend him for custody matters, family court and divorce matters in general, as well as any other family related case. He is new to the Hudson Valley, but not new to the practice of Matrimonial law. He provides excellent representation for his clients."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 04

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Raunak Kothari is a superb litigator and advocate for his clients in custody, divorce, family law, and matrimonial proceedings. I found him to be a rigorous and brilliant opposing attorney who advocates extremely well for his clients, while also maintaining civility and cordiality with me and other opposing attorneys, which in my experience is (unfortunately) exceedingly rare; this is also a very effective means to achieve litigation settlement, which is often in a client's best interest. Raunak also has the heart to advocate for clients in deep stress with empathy and strong emotional skills. I recommend him without reservation."
