Grateful

In a most challenging and painful litigation, Ben was an intelligent and strategic advocate for me. His attention to detail, preparation and his experience changed the outcome for me dramatically. He is honest and fair and kind. I’m truly grateful.

Incredible, smart and devoted lawyer

Ben changed my life in ways I never thought imaginable. No words could describe the sense of freedom and happiness I feel as a result of his perseverance and relentlessness. I’m truly blessed to have worked with Ben.

Excellent Representation For My Divorce

I was fortunate to find Ben among the many attorneys in Westchester County. Ben is both a CPA as well as lawyer so knows both the legal and financial aspects of a divorce. Ben is knowledgeable, honest, fair and excellent with negotiation. I was able to settle for 1/3 of original request and I receive...d money back from original retainer. Highly recommend Ben.

Divorce lawyer

I thought my divorce would be smooth and easy. The first day I met Mr. Schub I told him my soon to be ex was an "ok" guy. Little did I know what I was in store for. Throughout it all, Mr Schub was patient, understanding and tried to make things as easy as possible for me. I had no understanding of an...y of the legal process and my lawyer walked me through the steps during this very painful and stressful time.

5 Star Review for Ben Schub

I was extremely well represented by Ben Schub in a difficult and emotionally charged case. He worked on my case for over a year and his level of dedication never wavered. Ben was meticulous in his preparation. He is organized, detail oriented, articulate and is a superior strategist. Ben was ad...ept at dealing with a difficult adversary, and knew when and how to negotiate to my advantage. He is highly respected in his field and I saw first hand why. He covered all his bases and consequently nothing took him by surprise. His level of professionalism translated into a highly successful outcome for me.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
