"Divorce Without Destruction!"
Sometimes we just have to fight–to protect ourselves, our loved ones, our security, our future. But most people fight because they believe they don’t have a choice. Imagine if someone could give you that choice–if you are enabled and empowered to protect yourself, your loved ones, your future and your security, without destroying the things that are most precious to you. Wouldn’t that be a relief? You could focus on making life better and moving on, rather than getting mired down in the past, embroiled in controversy as life passes you by.
Mr. Steinberger graduated top of his class in law school earning numerous distinctions and working at some of the most prestigious law firms in the country. Clerking for a Federal judge allowed him to peer behind the curtain and understand what motivates judges to rule the way that they do. During this time he went through his own nasty divorce and realized that “there just has to be a better way.” He has since dedicated his life to practicing that better way on behalf of his clients and the public.
Utilizing the latest in mediation, negotiation and psychological techniques, Mr. Steinberger protects and defends his clients when they are most vulnerable. His compassion, insight and professionalism comfort and protect his clients giving them the freedom to make the bold choices that are right for them. His dedication and leave-no stone-unturned meticulousness, protects his clients from any shenanigans and gives them the best chance to achieve their goals. Respected by many as "a lawyer's lawyer," he is warm and approachable and will make you feel welcome and well-cared-for.

It's not everyday you come across an empathetic and knowledgeable lawyer. Chaim is incredibly kind, resourceful and knowledgable in areas of international family law. I felt very confident speaking with him as he is committed to understanding and empowering his clients. I highly recommend his service...

Chaim was incredibly generous with his time, helped me to understand my situation clearly and gave me advise that was in my best interest regardless of whether it led to me hiring him or not. He is considerate, meticulous and genuinely wants whatever is best and makes the most sense for his client.
"I've known Chaim for years through the ABA Family Law Section, in which he is a vigorously active participant. I have referred numerous matters to him. I endorse this lawyer."
