Successful down modification of child support order-difficult case!

Mr. Schraier was the 3rd attorney we had to hire in our down-modification petition of a child support order case which lasted almost 3 years. It can be frustrating to prove your case when you need to lower your responsibilities in NYC even if your income been drastically reduced. We had to change 2 l...awyers because of unsatisfactory performance. We found out about Mr. Schraier over the Internet along with other potential candidates and we interviewed all of them over the phone from another, distant state before we made a decision whom to hire. Mr. Schraier seemed to be very much down to earth, but sharp and attentive. His fees were surprisingly reasonable. He did not charge us for the minutes an communicated with us as it was needed. He's working with an economical overhead therefore he is able to give a competitive flat-rate. Mr. Schraier put an objection to the magistrate's order which was granted by a judge and still the magistrate wanted to postpone a decision for unknown period of time. Mr. Schraier was able to convince the custodial parent to settle and successfully negotiate a favorable stipulation in a short period of time, saving thousands of dollars for us. Therefore we highly recommend Mr. Schraier.

A true Professional!!

Profesional, Honest, Dedicated are only a few words to describe Mr. Schraier. Seth was amazing not only did you take your time to understand and comprehend my case and what I was going through but his honesty is what will bring me back to him nexr time if needed in the future. He gave me great advis...e about my case and till this day I do not regret it. With that being said, i wasn't granted with what I was hoping for but he took his time to explain the pros, cons & the what ifs' on my case, and I truly feel like the best decision was made. He is very knowledgeable and defineltly knows what he is doing!! Thank you Seth

Custody Case

When my ex decided to take full custody of my children, I was so upset because i love my children & don't want to lose them. that's when i did research to find a lawyer that can help me with this case, i came across good reviews on Seth, gave him a call, then sat down with him to see if he would be a...ble to help me. when it was time to go to court he showed me what a great lawyer he was. i got me the chance to have my kids again and to be able to talk with them with out their mother being around them. At the end Seth helped me to win Joint Custody of my 2 children. I Thank Seth a lot & recommend him.
