Straight to the point!

My experience with Seth is that he is a very knowledgeable and down to earth attorney. Very responsive to say the least! Due to Seth's expertise, I had an impressively short custody battle. As a father in the family court, I had very little confidence in gaining custody. Seth reassured me that I ...had a strong case. Seth is an honest attorney who works hard for his clients--he was very precise and detailed in spotting out some not so obvious inconsistencies in my child support case. I’m sure that Seth will ensure the best possible outcome to any type of litigation within the family courts--with the child/children in mind as the priority. Highly recommended!

Child support

I was extremely pleased with the Law Office of Seth D. Schraier. Mr. Schraier was attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to go the extra mile for me. Mr. Schraier was successfully able to guide me through some complicated child support issues and I am forever grateful for the services ...he provided. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his legal services to anyone in need of help.

Good experience, affordable prices

I hired Seth twice, once for divorce and once for a child support case. I was pleased with the outcome of both. He does seem busy, but that's probably why his prices are so reasonable. Seth clearly knows family/divorce law in NYC very well, and I would definitely recommend him.

A Client Minded Lawyer

After a long (5 yr) nasty divorce (2007- 12), loosing my life savings ($250K) and being at my wits end after going through three incompetent lawyers whom were either after money souly, lacking a moral compass or without the balls to stand up to a wealthy advisary I was then confronted with more court... proceedings by my X. With fear and trepidation I hired Mr. Schraier in 2016 for two post divorce family court hearings at the request of my wealthy x-wife; first for an increase of my child support payments and secondly status information on my life insurance and healthcare coverage for my son due to her job loss. Mr. Schraier in both instances was able to refrain from entertaining petty irrelevant information presented and focused laser like on the preponderance of the facts while knowing exactly what the court wanted to hear to make its judgement. As a result he won both instances as not only were the facts, and Mr. Schraier clearly on my side but because Mr. Schraier has mastered his trade, develops a repor with his clients and understands human character he was able to allow my X to make all of the mistakes infront of the judge placing her on ours. I felt nothing but admiration and gratitude for our interaction and would recommend hiring Mr. Schraier to my best of friends.
