Kenneth J. Novenstern

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...y very satisfied. I give Ken Noverstern my highest recommendation for sure I am forever grateful Ken Zuckerman. Client .

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...nd did very impressive jobs. He's patient and understanding. During that extremely stressful period, he's calm and compassionate, which made a meaningful difference for me. I always felt supported and confident that my case was in good hands.

I was seeking a modification to my collaborative divorce agreement, and after a failed attempt to come to an agreement through collaborative attorneys (no surprise there), my attorney recommended Ken to represent me. My ex lives in an alternative reality and her attorney was more than happy to promot...e her views as 'fact', but Ken was always even keeled, supportive and understanding, while also firm with me, directing me to keep my eye on the end goal and leave emotions behind (very difficult to do under the circumstances I was fighting.) I would highly recommend his services for anyone seeking counsel for a divorce.

My life experience is such that I don’t have any contact with the jurisprudence (or any other aspect of the legal “industry”) of New York state, with the exception of a real estate attorney I used a couple of times over 20 years. Come fall of 2019 I found myself in need of serious legal advice. This... time it wasn’t real estate, but rather separation/divorce. Depressing stuff. Early October: Enter Ken Novenstern, whom I contacted over at Fredman,Baken&Novenstern. An initial consultation was set up at the Mt Kisco location, quickly. Without even having an official, legal, open case, Ken and his team were immediately supportive. I was advised by him, face to face, with clarity second to none. He explained to me the subsequent steps in the upcoming legal procedure in the simplest ways possible. It was magnificent help in an insurmountable task. For me (at the time) even mundane daily activities seemed to be an indecipherable puzzle with an ulterior motive on a biblical scale. So, having someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Ken stepping in to save the day was significant relief in an overwhelming situation. MOST IMPORTANTLY, however, every time the legal session was over, I received advice and guidance from him as a concerned human being. I found that to be the most respectable and healing thing. Simply acknowledging. Simply engaging and addressing emotion, once legal business was taken care of. Hats off. A toxic consequence of separation is that everything is emotionally/physically/financially draining, reality is foggy/painful and very few things make sense. Well, the epiphany I had, while I was driving back home after that first consultation, was that I realized THESE are the people I want on my side. I was about to embark on a disgusting, dreadful and undesired journey through destructive waters with powers of unknown magnitude; Ken, Liz and the rest of the team were the solution I needed through it all. For several months after that, every step of the way, their punctuality, patience and professionalism was absolutely irreproachable. My questions? Answered almost immediately. Last minute draft changes? Evaluated and processed promptly without batting an eyelash. Objectiveness? Unlimited. Defending my interests? To the “n”-th degree. Recommending outside resources as additional help? It’s as if it’s part of the contract. Evidently, the impetus of their success is the calibre of their work ethic and the extent of their knowledge derived from their experience. Hire them. I’m no authority in the matter, but I doubt you will regret hiring exceptionalism at its finest. Resolving one of the darkest times in your human condition.
