Posted by Audrian | November 11, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Excellent service

David Grauer was hired by me to take over the prosecution of a difficult matrimonial that was languishing or stalled in less skilled hands. I had a difficult husband who was refusing to furnish support, disputing assets and creating multiple house related issues while seeking very unjustified relief.... This super lawyer turned the entire case around and following trial I achieved an outstanding outcome. The issues were broad and complicated and they included division of multiple assets, child support, retirement monies, real estate and legal fees and thanks to my selection of counsel I came out on top. I strongly endorse this outstanding attorney.”

Divorce and separation lawyer | Aug 18

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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
