REALLY IMPRESSED!!

My wife and I were really impressed with Lois Brenner's mediation process. It made things so much easier since we wanted to end our 20 year marriage with as little pain as possible. She really listened, helped us listen to each other, and showed us it's never too late to learn how to communicate. I r...eally didn't think mediation would work, but I was wrong. I do think however her mediation skills and compassion had a lot to do with it. Her medical training was impressive too and her input on my drinking and its impact on our marriage was spot on. She recommended a really great therapist and I am finally in AA and receiving the help I need. My wife and I are now able to move on with our lives because of her help. I highly recommend her!!

Inventive 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.

Great Lady!! I met Lois Brenner at a networking group. She spoke on divorce and mediation. At the time I was not in need of a divorce attorney but was so impressed I kept her information. Two years later I hired Lois Brenner and I am finally separated from a man who nearly destroyed my life. Altho...ugh we were able to do this with her in mediation, it was not easy for me. She really kept me strong, and on top of myself. She was helpful with both of us, and encouraged each of us when needed. It was much better than going through the court system. It took a lot less time and saved us money too. I can’t say enough about her. She is a special attorney. I tell everyone who will listen how special she is :)

Simply the best!

A few years ago, I had the unfortunate experience of separating from my husband. I remember doing an internet search for "best lawyer in NYC". The first name that popped up was Lois Brenner. I immediately made the call and set up a consultation with her. After my first meeting, I hired her and it was... the best decision. She initially recommended mediation but my husband did not agree. I finally filed for divorce and had to go through a tedious process of court dates etc. Ms. Brenner made this difficult experience so much easier to cope with. She is an experienced and compassionate attorney. When things get tough, she is "no nonsense!!" I highly recommend her. She is "simply the best". P.S. If I ever decide to get married again, she will be preparing my pre-nup!!!

She will go to bat for you, for as long as it takes!

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!
