A great choice for family law
Steve Abel handled divorce and custody issues for me over a large stretch of years. He is patient in explaining procedure and was great in helping to cope with all the emotions that are associated with divorce and custody battles. He is a great advocate for his clients.

Terrific Lawyer - Smart, Fair and a Great Advocate
I used Steve for my divorce mediation as well as for my will. Steve is regarded by most as the best matrimonial mediator in Rockland County. He guided us through a complicated mediation process quickly. He was mindful of what was fair and reasonable. He advocated for both my ex-wife and for me....
Steven Leon Abel's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Steve Abel is an experienced and consumate advocate. He is one of the premier matrimonial attorneys in the Hudson Valley of New York. Steve has the ability to litigate cases if necessary or bring a matter to settlement through negotiation. He is skilled in colloborative matrimonial law. My law firm rspects his ethics as well as his passion for advocacy on behalf of his well represented clients."
"Steve Abel is, in my opinion, the most skilled and experienced family law mediator working in Rockland County. He is deeply committed to providing families with creative ways to resolve even the most complex divorce without the pain of litigation. As he also maintains a busy practice as a traditional divorce trial lawyer, Steve is able to provide his mediation clients with clear and accurate insights into how a Judge might analyze and/or resolve the issues they are facing. I have referred many clients who come to me for traditional "trial by battle" cases to Steve instead to explore the possibility of using mediation. I have been very pleased over the years to see so many of them contact me later to advise that he was able to help them avoid a courtroom, avoid the chaos and potentially save tens of thousands of dollars in counsel fees. I highly recommend Steve to anyone seeking a skilled, ethical and experienced mediator."
