Excellent legal services.

David Grauer was my lawyer on difficult and highly disputed contested divorce litigation. He fought without ever giving up getting the matter fully successfully concluded. I highly recommend his expert and dedicated services”.

Superior matrimonial representation

I am writing to strongly recommend David Grauer, who just recently completed the challenging task of disentangling my long term marriage and successfully settling a highly disputed litigation involving maintenance claims, a long term profitable business, retirement assets, and both residential and co...mmercial real estate. His calm, expert, steadfast and unwavering commitment to obtain favorable closure for my benefit cannot be overstated. He brings to the table deep knowledge, great patience, enormous perseverance and huge experience all of which combined to make it very easy for me to very highly recommend his talented services. Top notch expertise well worth the price!”

Exceptional Representation!

I cannot recommend David highly enough. He represented me for more than 5 years during a very complex and emotionally draining family law case. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, empathy, and expertise that made navigating a challenging family law situation much eas...ier. David’s deep understanding of family law, combined with his strategic "no nonsense" approach gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the entire process. He always listened intently to my concerns, was timely in his responses, and thoroughly explained every step. He was always available to answer questions, no matter how small. David's commitment to my case was evident in the way he advocated fiercely on my behalf, balancing assertiveness with sensitivity to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my daughter. He took an incredible risk by representing me and I could not be more grateful for him. Thanks to his dedication, I felt supported and informed at every turn, which was invaluable during such an emotional time. The resolution he achieved exceeded my expectations. Because he represented me for so long, he was tirelessly invested in seeing it through to the end. I have tremendous respect for his dedication and resilience. If you are looking for a compassionate, firm, knowledgeable, and results-driven family law attorney, David is the one you want by your side.

Happy to have a great attorney to represent me.

My divorce was like a complicated maze with multiple real estate parcels (foreign and domestic) as well as a business operated by my wife together with foreign and domestic banking assets. David Grauer skillfully steered me through this dark tunnel and together we emerged into bright light at the ...end. He is a knowledgeable, patient and very skilled advocate and I highly recommend and endorse him.

Highly recommend

David Grauer represented me on a now just completed complex case with multiple properties and significant assets of varying nature. The issues surrounded large support claims as well as complicated equitable distribution negotiations. David guided me through this complex process taking my idea...s into account and providing valuable advice at each step of the way. He was always reachable and prompt in communication with the opposing counsel and the court. He was instrumental in reaching a breakthrough during negotiations that led to a fair settlement. I highly recommend David Grauer.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I just finished a highly contentious divorce action with Mr. Grauer and we were able to reach a positive outcome for both of our clients by seeking opportunities for settlement that were in the best interest of the parties. He worked very hard for his client and as a result the case was settled without going to Court saving both clients substantial time and money. He was always responsive to my request to discuss settlement terms and to ensure each party had an opportunity to offer his or her concerns. Any client that is represented by Mr. Grauer can feel confident he will be a strong advocate for their rights and well being."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Aug 12

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with David recently on a litigated divorce which resulted in a settlement. I also worked on David many years ago when I first started practicing in Westchester in the 1980's. David is a strong advocate for his clients. He works hard to balance advocacy with the need to educate his clients concerning the importance of reaching a cost effective resolution of issues. We were able to work out a comprehensive settlement for our clients in an emotionally charged situation, in part due our combined efforts to find options and alternatives that worked for these clients."

"I endorse this lawyer. David is a strong advocate for his clients. He has many years of litigation experience including trials and appeals in divorce cases. David is also ethical and from a good family; his father is a rabbi. Divorce clients who need a lawyer, who is highly competent and ethical to fight for their rights, would be in good hands having David represent them."

"David Grauer, while a formidable adversary as a matrimonial attorney and litigator, is also someone with whom I have been able to negotiate a deal rather than have to go to trial. His many years of experience in this area of law have served him well in honing his impressive set of skills."
