My girlfriend's divorce was not final yet and unfortunately New York has an archaic presumption of legitimacy that meant as a new father they told me at the hospital I could not be listed on my son's birth certificate. I was devastated. I contacted James the next day. Not only did he calm my fears..., he even made me laugh during the initial consultation. The family court process was onerous and confusing. James and one of his associates helped us navigate through it relatively painlessly. There are only a handful of times in my life I can remember being as happy as when the judge declared I was the father and provided us with a court order to that fact. Both James and his associate were great through the whole process, very reassuring, and always there with almost immediate responses whenever I emailed with questions no matter when I contacted them. Hopefully I never ever need a family law attorney again, but if I do James is my guy.

When I retained Jim to facilitate my (rather hostile) divorce and custody case, I was immediately impressed with the calm knowledge of a veteran attorney. Jim's ability to offer sound, candid and unbiased coaching through the stormy divorce process was the singular reason I could be a newly single mo...ther, newly employed after five years out of the workforce, newly responsible for paying all my bills, and able to maintain my sanity. I have often referred to him as a hero with no cape. I have never had to wait more than a half day for a response, he is hyper-efficient in communicating with opposing counsel, he has the answer faster than you can think the questions. He has insight beyond what you pay for in attorney fees. He is polished, bringing with him confidence and calm that is contagious. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is the Prada suit of matrimonial law.

I hired James Sexton when I was going through a nasty divorce. He was my only hope during this dark time. He was always there to reassure me when things got tough. He fought every challenge that was thrown his way and won. In court and out. He delivered on his promises. His staff is amazingly nice an...d and helpful.

Mr. Sexton is excellent at what he does. He is warm, compassionate, and most importantly knows and understands people. He knows when to interject during mediation and when to allow you to negotiate on your own. He is empahetic- he knows and appreciates how trying and difficult this processing is an...d can be. And he always acknowledged both sides of our point of view and made recommendations on each of our account. Without Mr. Sexton, we would without a doubt be in a nasty court battle. Look no further.
