Seth David Schraier

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.

Mr. Schraier is an honest and professional Family Lawyer. I required counsel for an ugly child visitation hearing and Mr. Schraier not only won me the right to visit my child, he successfully got my ex wife's restraining order against me dropped. I would readily recommend this councel for any Famil...y Law matter.

Mr. Seth Scharier is very reliable and knowledgable attortney. He was my lawyer in my Family Court case. During the time I was represented by him, he provided details regarding the law about my case and during the hearings he represented me to the fullest. Also he returned all of my calls and email...s promptly.

Looking for a good lawyer was one of the most overwhelming task I've ever expericed, but once I spoke to Seth Schraier I knew he was the lawer I wanted to hire. He adviced me as if he was already representing me. He was friendly, patient, knowledgable and obove all honest. I called him for advice ...a few times before officially hiring him and every time he was just as nice and willing to give me advice as the time before. It did not matter the time of day, he always returned all my calls, emails and even text messages within minutes. He was not only knowledgable on custody issues but about child support as well. All my questions were answered with such confidence that I had no doubt he knew his information. Being in the middle of a custody battle my stress level was high and I was emotionally all over the place but knowing that seth was on my side and always available when I needed advice gave me and still gives me a sense of assurance and peace. I trust him Mr. Schraier and I know he only has my best interest in mind.

Seth D. Schraier was assigned to represent me in or about 2024 in a New York Family Court child support violation matter. Throughout the representation, communication was inconsistent. Calls I was asked to make went unanswered or were not returned, and requests for updates often went unresolved. D...espite being counsel of record, I was repeatedly asked what actions I wanted taken, rather than being provided with clear legal strategy and proactive guidance. I had a confidential address on file, and Mr. Schraier stated he would redact my medical records before submitting them to the court. That was not done, and this failure contributed to serious consequences in my case, including a purge demand of $10,000 and the court’s warning to prepare for possible incarceration at my next appearance. After the Support Magistrate issued a willfulness finding in 2025, I asked counsel to file objections and submit properly redacted medical documentation. This was not done as requested. At a later appearance, counsel stated on the record that certified medical records had been subpoenaed, which had not been done when initially requested. These delays and omissions contributed to adverse outcomes in my case. Communication regarding upcoming court dates often occurred only a day or two beforehand, and my case did not appear to receive the attention or preparation it warranted. I expected proactive advocacy and follow through, especially given the seriousness of the potential consequences. Clients deserve timely communication, clear legal direction, and follow through. My experience fell well short of that standard, and I do not recommend this representation.
