I could not recommend Ms. Browde more strongly to represent you in your legal matters. I had a situation where I had to be divorced and it came without warning. After being yanked around by a previous attorney I consulted AVVO who recommended Ms Browde. She took this very shook up Client, guided me through each step, took care of everything, and let me know she was only one call away whenever needed. In the span of three months the divorce was complete and my life is set right. Hiring Ms Browde was the best decision I ever made. Thank you . Michael D Casabianca RN BSPA CNOR

Proud to have her as a colleague
Kristen is not only thoroughly knowledgeable and expert in family law matters, but has a demeanor and a wisdom that I personally rely on when seeking strategy advice for litigation or appellate work. Her assistance has been invaluable both in and out of the courtroom. You can find no better counsel.

David Browde was my Avvo Advisor. Mr. Browde was professional and very timely. He had read my memo before speaking and provided several precise, reasonable and practical answers to several questions. His answers demonstrated both legal "book knowledge" and practice experience. Excellent advise.

Advisor was excellent. Informed, patient, and took the time to listen to my needs so he could answer accordingly. Felt he was not hard selling me to take legal action and gave straightforward answers / comments / suggestions. So refreshing to get answers to simple legal questions.

Rapid call from Attorney who provided valuable information and was friendly. Call was a little rushed and I felt that we often spoke over each other. Some of that might be my sense of urgency but overall I was pleased with the conversation and given an option, I would speak to this attorney again.

Caring, responsive, and knowledgeable
There's no two ways about it, divorce is an at best sad situation. I met with many lawyers before deciding on Kristen and am very glad that she was my choice. I feel the legal advice was exactiy what I needed and was delivered compassionately. She was responsive and I don't feel that the bill was unnecessarily inflated. To this day, Kristen answers brief questions and provides advice gratis. Highly recommended.

David Browde provided my startup business invaluable help with incorporation and trademark assistance. He was always professional while being personable and friendly, which is too rare in the world of lawyers.

Childd Support Modification
David helped me with an extremely difficult and on going situation, After trying and failing to represent myself I sought legal advice and retained David immediately, This was by far the best decision I ever made,. David explained my options and worked tirelessly to help my situation. In court he showed his expertise maintaining composure while securing me a positive verdict I was not expecting. David worked with me in terms of payments and always maintained contact and apprised me of any new developments. I highly recommend.

Would Work with Him again
Hello, my name is Michelle and I want to share that David assisted me with a difficult situation and he was the consummate professional. He explained the process every step of the way, he was available by phone, email and text. He made sure that I was up to date on all aspects of my case and he answered all my questions in a timely manner. Even when he couldn't speak due to other obligations he gave a time and he called back at that time. Thank you David.

Put your trust in Dave Browde!
I had so much anxiety about my custody/child support case. Not only did Dave calm my fears, he did so with knowledge and action...not just lip service. He made it clear that I was in capable hands via the extremely thorough manner in which he addressed the other lawyer, leaving nothing for the other side to use as leverage. He found ample evidence to dispute their false financial claims. He called their every bluff. And he shot down their every threat by virtue of the fact that he showed example after example after example of why they had NOTHING to go on. He did all of this not with hot air or semantics. He did it with attention to detail, relentless presentation of indisputable facts, and KNOWLEDGE of the LAW! Every tiny matter I was worried about being an issue, he managed beautifully. If you're dealing with someone who has hired a less than honest lawyer trying to stick it to you, get Dave Browde on your side. He will show them up, down, and sideways that no one is going to pull a fast one on his client! Thanks again to Dave for getting my child what she deserves and solidifying my custody situation without room for any grey areas. Couldn't be happier!

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I have worked with David on some very complex and taxing family law matters. David is highly capable and respected, he knows the law and the judges in Westchester and NYC and has a lot of common sense. If he were a doctor, I would say he has great bedside manners, meaning he is just great with clients who are all in emotionally challenging situations. David is extremely easy to work with - courteous, calm, reasonable, always on time and available when one needs him. I always enjoy working with him."
