While I enjoyed many successful years as a partner at Novenstern & Gaudio, LLP and Novenstern, Fabriani & Gaudio, LLP, I started a new firm with Ellen Jancko Baken, Esq. and Neil Fredman, Esq., called Fredman Baken & Novenstern, LLP as of July 1, 2019. We have practiced together for over a year and have successfully transitioned. We are working through the Covid pandemic and are ready to assist with divorce and family law matters for spouses, partners, parents and others in a family oriented relationship. We train regularly in Collaborative Law and Mediation, and also handle LGBTQIA marriages.

I worked with Ken for almost a year on my divorce case with child custody issues. I am very grateful for what Ken did on my case. From start to finish, he's knowledgeable and responsive. He explained everything clearly, advocated strongly on my behalf. He prepared well for every court appearance a...

Ken Novenstern and Staff were absolutely brilliant. They answered all my questions and concerns 7 days a week. It was a long drawn out case almost 2 years. But in end. It ended very successfully. Ken Noverstern is a calming influence and takes anytime that is needed to explain things in advance. Ver...

I initially hired a mediator for my divorce, when things took a turn for the worse I was referred to Ken Novenstern.

Ken Novenstern expertly guided me through an extremely rough divorce and I regret nothing by choosing him and his team. I just wish I had found him sooner as I had to go through two other attorneys before stumbling upon him. Experienced, efficient, ethical. I would trust him with my life, as I a...
"I am an attorney in practice in Westchester County for more than 30 years and recently for the second time I was on the opposite side of a difficult divorce case representing parties who were splitting after a long-term marriage. There were a multiplicity of complex issues and Ken Novenstern is a courteous, diligent, ethical, knowledgeable, tough opponent. He maintains an even temperament, rigidly focused on the interests of his client while at the same time remaining respectful and courteous to counsel on the other side. That is a difficult balance and Ken's clients are extremely well served with him and clearly they have made a wise choice in hiring him."
"I have known Ken in excess of two decades. He is an expert negotiator, and does his best to resolve matters in an amicable, cost effective and expeditious fashion. He treats his clients with compassion, and is always there to support their needs. His knowledge in the field of Matrimonial Law cannot be questioned. I highly endorse Ken as he is not only a credit to his profession; but in addition, a colleague whose integrity and skills cannot be matched."
"I am always comfortable referring clients to Ken. He is smart, diligent and highly experienced. I particularly appreciate his reasonable demeanor and authentic concern for his clients."
"Ken is an excellent attorney. We have worked on several cases together and he knows how to integrate advocacy with good faith negotiations to meet his clients’ interests and help them move forward with their life."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kenneth Novenstern is a zealous advocate for his clients. I have had several cases with Ken, both as opposing counsel and as collaborative counterpart. In settlement discussions with Ken, It quickly becomes apparent that he truly sympathizes with his clients’ needs and interests and that he tries to achieve the best outcome for them within the confines of the law. With that said, Ken guides his clients through the divorce process, offering settlement alternatives and helping his clients sidestep positions that will needlessly cause them to incur attorneys fees without hope for a positive outcome. It is a pleasure to deal with Ken, because you can be assured that while his clients interests are paramount, he is also focused on getting to a settlement that will be beneficial to his clients without losing sight of the financial and emotional toll being exacted by prolonged litigation."
