I handle a full range of family law issues, from divorce issues like child custody, child support and paternity, and property division to prenuptial agreements and post-divorce modifications. Every case is handled with extreme care geared toward: Clear communication through every stage of the divorce process, prompt, direct responses from the divorce attorney who represents you, and efficient, cost-effective legal strategies that achieve favorable outcomes.
Experience that’s current and relevant
With trial skills honed prosecuting sex offenders for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, I understand the inner workings of the justice system. I know how prosecutors build a case and can counter their courtroom strategies to deliver the best possible outcome for your particular circumstances. As a certified mediator, I have a thorough understanding of negotiating tactics. My firm but collegial manner guides family law and matrimonial matters to successful resolutions.

At the Law Office of Seth D. Schraier, I know the difference between strength and bombast. I aggressively assert and defend your rights in a thoroughly professional manner that leaves the door open to mutually beneficial, creative solutions.

Your Partner: Affordable and Effective
Seth isn't just a lawyer. He is your legal advocate and partner in the court room. I had a somewhat complicated child support and family court case. I worked with other lawyers in the past and easily paid three times as much for less than stellar results. I reached out to Seth and explained my legal ...

Terrible
Please be careful. Seth Schraier is extremely eager to give long initial free phone consultations but his legal skills are lacking. I hired him based on his favorable Avvo reviews, the fact that his retainer was reasonable, and he sounded knowledgeable, however, I found him to be nearly incompetent a...
Unfortunately, this person makes it impossible to ascertain who they are, what type of case they had and when I represented them. What I do know is that there has not been a client in recent memory who I have represented in Court and negotiated a settlement who conveyed any discontent with the proposed settlement agreement. I do not place undue pressure on a client to come to a settlement but I do have an ethical obligation to explain to the client what risks they face if they go to trial instead of negotiated settlement. It is possible that this client interpreted my explanation of these risks as "extreme pressure." But, as stated above, there is no way I can respond specifically to this review without further information or some indication that this client even retained me. If this client believes that I was "negligent" then they should pursue further action such as a disciplinary complaint. But, since I have not received any disciplinary complaint it seems that this person has taken their grievances to an online review, and nothing more. If the client who left this review wants future clients to beware of retaining my services, then I ask that they provide further details to the complaint.
"Seth was my adversary on a case that was challenging to us both, for very different reasons. I appreciated his straightforward and candid nature."
"Seth is a smart and energetic attorney who prides himself on providing excellent legal representation while at the same time keeping in constant contact with his clients. From the beginning of your matter till its end, Seth will guide you step by step, keep you updated on the status of your case, explain the legal process in simple terms, and answer any questions you may have. If you are looking for a responsive and competent family law attorney, I strongly recommend Seth."
