Best Matrimonial Lawyer!!!!

I used Marty Johnson in my divorce proceedings a few years ago. I was originally working with another lawyer and when I spoke with Marty he immediately saw loopholes and loose ends in the initial discussions with my ex's attorney that my original attorney had overlooked. Marty was smart, quick and ...truly understood my needs and eased any anxiety I had. He was in constant contact with me and his door was always open. As busy as he is I always felt like my case was important and a priority. In the end, Marty made sure that I got the most important thing to me through the whole nasty time....my son. He made sure that we were taken care of and that my son got EVERYTHING he needs, now and well into the future. Words cannot express my gratitude for his hard work.

Best and most knowledgeable attorney and law firm I have dealt with!

I have previously had various other attorney's with whom I wasn't that satisfied. Then a friend of mine recommended me to Marty Johnson. Mr. Johnson is regarded to be THE top and best attorney in the divorce field. I was glad that Mr. Johnson accepted my case. Mr. Johnson and his associate handled... my case in the most professional, respectful and honest matter with the best outcome I have imagined. They're the most knowledgeble and smartest attorney's I have seen. All I can say is I will forever be greatful to them!

Best Matrimonial Lawyer You Can Get

I ran the names of some attorneys I knew in this website. When it came to Mr. Johnson, I was surprised to see a bad review with respect to him and his firm. Two things came immediately to my mind. First, the person had the wrong Johnson or perhaps (and more probable) a spouse of one his clients up...set with Mr. Johnson’s services decided to be vindictive. So, let me set the record straight. Mr. Johnson is one of the best matrimonial attorneys you can get. He handled my divorce and child custody matters for me, including a long trial and lengthy appeal instigated by former spouse. He is brilliant, honest and kind. I would have given many up my rights (and would probably have ruined my life and my daughter’s life), if I did not listen to him when I was being persuade to enter into a settlement in my divorce. Mr. Johnson tells it how it is and will not waste your time or money. And if the Judge is wrong, he is not afraid of engaging in a discussion to protect your rights. My spouse ended up using more than 10 attorneys to come at me from every possible angle and make up all kind of ridiculous accusations. I had only one attorney—the best: Mr. Johnson. Caveat: Going through a divorce or a child custody proceeding is not easy, and (borrowing from an old Rolling Stones song) I can tell you that you don’t always get what you want, but with Mr. Johnson, you will get what you need.

Saved my ass in more ways than one!

Marty settled my case quickly and efficiently, after I had been led to believe by a previous attorney there was little hope for a reasonable resolution (that previous attorney was sucking me dry financially and emotionally for years!) Marty's knowledge of the law enabled him to find a legal preceden...t that others had missed which had a significant impact on motivating the opposition to settle quickly and in a way I could comfortably live with. I have recommended Marty to two other colleagues who have also had very favorable outcomes.

FORMER CLIENT

THIS THE MOST HONORABLE MAN I HAVE EVER MET. HE HANDLED MY CASE PROFESSIONALLY AND MADE SURE MY CHILDREN WERE PROTECTED. I HAVE RECOMMENDED MARTY TO MANY OTHER FRIENDS/FAMILY. WE ALL HAVE BEEN FULLY SATISFIED.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have worked on a number of cases with Mr. Johnson as opposing counsel. He is a tough litigator and impressive negotiator with a courtroom presence and signature style that has earned him the respect of the bench and bar. He remains one of the most experienced divorce lawyers working in New York State and brings a wealth of experience to his cases. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a smart, skilled and ethical attorney in a complex family law matter."
