Incredible Team

The team at Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein have been nothing short of amazing. Evan Schein was constantly available, led with compassion, and helped to navigate a very complex issue. I cannot recommend this team more.

Wonderful to work with!

Evan Schein did a wonderful job in my divorce and relocation case. He was patient and worked towards the best outcome for my family. He demonstrated his expertise in law during trial with tact and precision. Evan was compassionate as well and worked tiredlessly to reach a settlement that both parties... could agree on. I highly recommend Evan Schein. I feel extremely fortunate to have worked with him.

Top notch NYC divorce lawyer that get results for you and your child

Mr. Schein from Berkman Bottger Newman & Rodd is an experienced family divorce litigator who has the right temperament to present case to without agitating the judge. Changing lawyer and hiring Mr. Schein has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Mr. Schein is extremely knowledgeable... of family law and is very prepared present a case to fight for you and your child. I truly felt Mr. Schein had my best interest and represented me in a professional manner as if I were a member of his family. A measure of a good attorney is that he/she is prepared and can communicate effectively to the judge without resorting to childish tactics against the opposing attorney which Mr. Schien embodies. Mr.Schein is composed, experienced and tactful which is very hard to find. Not surprising to me Mr.Schein is has been rated a NYC rising divorce attorney and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to a friend or family member. Mr. Schein will fight for you to get you the best results possible and keep you focused and clam. I would not be surprised if Mr. Schein is a rated one of the top family attorney in the country in the next few years.

Extraordinary Advocate and Wise Counselor

Evan Schein is an extraordinary lawyer and person who takes his client's concerns to heart. Over the last three years Evan has aided my family in many valuable ways: his comprehension of and ability to explain the law; his wise counsel in helping us decide courses of action; his attention to our need...s that go beyond the law; his passionate and fearless advocacy; and his clear-eyed guidance through the thicket of court action that can intimidate the nonexpert. He knows what he is doing and how to get things done that serves his client's interest. He is detailed, communicative, collaborative, and above all responsive when needed. No issue is too small to address, and no question too minor to answer. Evan understands as much the human as the legal issues, and that shows time and again in his manner of engaging us. We admire his principle and pragmatism. It is simply impossible to imagine our interests being better represented and protected by anyone else. We are forever beholding to Evan Schein for all he has done for my family.

Divorce and separation lawyer | Apr 04

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I worked closely with Evan Schein early in his career. At the time we described him as the "Derek Jeter" of the firm - young, highly talented, well liked and dedicated to giving 100% every time he stepped up to the plate. Now, years later, his professional accomplishments attest to his skills and integrity. A tenacious advocate in the Courtroom or at the negotiating table, Evan Schein is an outstanding attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking ethical and skilled family law counsel. A top notch young lawyer."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
