I didn't think I would ever get divorced. I was happily married for 25 years, ( or so I thought) and all of s sudden my husband wanted out. I was devastated until I met Lois Brenner. Her psychological training and compassionate heart helped me move through the pain and focus on my financial future.... She negotiated an excellent settlement for me, and it was way beyond what I expected, or thought I was entitled to. I would highly recommend Lois Brenner to any woman looking for a compassionate, yet strong and seasoned attorney.

We have Lois Brenner to thank for turning our marriage around. We hired Lois as our mediator when we were considering divorce. When we started working with her and she realized we wanted to try to keep our marriage together she suggested a postnuptial agreement to get our marriage back on track. Hav...ing the postnuptial agreement made us both accountable when it came to our issues. Having this doc in place is clearly helping us redefine our marriage in a better way. I don’t know if we will never get divorced, but for now we are respecting each others’ boundaries and are aware of the consequences if we don’t! It was really cool that Ms. Brenner suggested this method as an option. Most divorce attorneys would not have suggested a way for us to try to stay together. She is very talented and unusual in the best possible way. If we choose to take the divorce path eventually we will definitely hire her again. In the meantime we are making it work. She is amazing.

I met Lois eight years ago, when I was attempting to obtain a divorce through mediation. I immediately recognized her intelligence, compassion, and real interest in her work. When mediation ended only in separation due to resistance on the part of my ex, I paused legal efforts and returned to Lois fi...ve years later. My ex dodged every process server I hired for several years, was out of the country for a time, squatted with no known address, and then fell off the radar altogether. Lois patiently worked me through the due diligence it took to prove to a very tough Queens judge that he was missing, and worked with me on a payment plan, so I could pay her over time for her expertise. I trust Lois with something quite dear to me - my legal freedom - and highly recommend her to anyone is legal crisis. She is an exceptional advocate, and her team, especially Bernadette and Michael, and lovely people. The happy ending? My fiance' and I were finally able to get married and share a last name with our two beautiful children, once the divorce finally wrapped in 2017. Thank you, Lois!

I didn't know you could choose how to get divorced. Lawyers I met told me to go right to court and serve my husband. I am a single parent caring for a disabled child. I don't have the money or the time to spend in court. Lois Brenner gave me hope because she showed me I could try to negotiate with my... spouse and find a resolution that would suit both of us. She worked well with my husband's attorney and guided the case toward resolution and out of the expensive court system. I am so grateful she helped me. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a divorce.

We were so fortunate have Ms. Brenner's counsel on a very complex divorce and child custody case, involving multiple jurisdictions and special circumstances. Not only does Lois bring a comprehensive understanding of the nuances of family law and custody issues, her background as a medical practitio...ner also lends a deep understanding of the psychological and emotional dynamics in play. She offered a compassionate, intuitive voice of reason in dealing with our family situation, coupled with the ability to bring total strength and solidity to the table to work through contentious issues with opposing counsel. For any family facing the stressful transition of divorce, I would wholeheartedly recommend Lois. In the arena that is divorce law, which can often feel very mercenary, opportunistic and mean spirited--Lois is a real gift.
