Child Custody Case

Seth handled my child custody case, which lasted for two long years. I could have not retained a better, more knowledgeable lawyer. Custody cases are very sensitive and stressful, but Seth made me feel very confident. He kept me informed at all times and consulted with me before presenting anythi...ng to the judge or the other attorneys. He was always available, always responded to calls and emails within hours, if not right away. I am very happy with the outcome of my case, thanks to Seth's diligence and professionalism. I recommend Seth to anyone!!

Great Lawyer

Seth is a fantastic lawyer. He is very knowledgeable in family court matters and was able to educate me on my rights as a father. He was there for me in a time of great distressed. I remembered coming to him regarding a family court issue that I was seriously stressing and he was able to keep me calm... and provide me with piece of mind being there every step of the way. He is available over the phone and is EXCELLENT at responding to emails. To this day, even after settling my family court issues. I can still reach out to him regarding legal matters and he is more than happy to help me any way possible. I would recommend anyone to him with issues regarding family court as his knowledge and years of experience not only show in his work, but when he is representing you. Thank you, Seth for all that you've helped me with.

If you want to win hire this man.

After 13 years of hell with my daughter's mother I finally won full custody. I tried for years with a lesser skilled attorney. Fortunately, I found Seth. He knew what to do and say and when to do it. He's quick. He's sharp. He has the confidence, winning attitude and the knowledge it takes to b...e successful in a court room. I know I wouldn't be celebrating our victory tonight if it wasn't for him.
