Excellent service

Paul and his team were clear, concise, understanding, and helpful. They communicated everything in a timely manner. Helped me understand all the options before I hired them.

The best choice I could have made

I am very satisfied with Mr. Roitshtein's handling of my case. My case was a criminal matter. He was very strategic and responsive throughout the entire process and helped me navigate the judicial system in a way that resulted in the full dismissal of my charges. I highly recommend him. Thank you aga...in Paul.

Very Satisfied

I was very satisfied with Paul Roitshtein's handling of my uncontested divorce case. Right from our first consultation, he presented himself as a capable and knowledgeable attorney who was ready to do everything necessary to obtain a positive result for me. He was cordial, non-intimidating and approa...chable. He was receptive to my many questions and always answered them in a complete and understandable way. He returned my phone calls and emails in a timely manner. The flat fee he charged for my case was quite reasonable. His office was easily reachable by public transportation. Getting divorced is certainly not pleasant, but he definitely helped to make it the most painless experience possible for me. I recommend him highly!

Mr. Paul Roitstein is such a wonderful lawyer

The words are not enough to show my deepest appreciation towards Mr. Roitshtein for all his immense and hard work throughout the process of my case. If I didn't ask him to take care of my divorce case, I would have faced into more difficult and miserable situation. Mr. Roitshtein is a knowledg...eable, skillful, organized, sincere, thoughtful and considerate lawyer. Mr. Roitshtein always took time for me to get all the information and answered all the questions that I had. Every time I encountered with the difficult and devastated situation with my ex-husband, Mr. Roitshtein thoroughly explained, advised, and directed me for the best outcome of my case. I feel very comfortable and secured with Mr. Roitshtein as he always responded to my emails and phone calls promptly every time I made contact with him. Although I was told that my divorce case was very complicated and would take at least 12 months to 24 months initially, I was able to get divorced within 7 months. (After filing my case, it only took 3 months to receive the Judgement of Divorce from the court) Now, I feel like that I have finally reached to the end of the long, painful, and miserable journey of my life and started the new chapter of my happier and peaceful life. I could never feel this way if I did not hire Mr. Roitshtein. I truly recommend Mr. Roitshtein if anyone is seeking for the best lawyer in New York.
