Martha Schneiderman

Martha is singularly the most decent, high-integrity, empathetic, calm and professional lawyer in my almost 3 years of dealing with family law in a very high-conflict custody dispute with an infant. She is the only lawyer that was respectful of and efficient with my money -- genuinely didn't see me ...as a revenue stream, but wanted to help me get through an excruciating time of life. She knows the Brooklyn court system. She's very well researched. She is strategic, persistent, strong, and effective And, she's the only lawyer who followed through. Most talk a great game, get you to sign a huge retainer and wire money, and they don't deliver; Martha is responsive, thoughtful and she comes through. She sets very clear expectation throughout the whole process so you aren't flying totally blind in what really is a terrible, broken family court system.

Martha was my 4th lawyer in an ongoing very contentious custody case. I wish i had found her from the beginning. Martha was a steadfast advocate for child and me and was grounded, professional, skilled, empathic and always available. It can be very difficult to find a custody attorney who truly has ...the child’s best interest at the center, but Martha does. I trust her completely and would recommend her as one of the best most ethical and skilled attorneys i have ever known.

I came to Martha with an family emergency dealing with a health issue for my child. First and foremost she took the time to listen to me and what was going on. I have been through many lawyers and, unfortunately, have found that they don't have time to listen and prefer to push their agenda. Martha... is great at listening and giving options that proved to be extraordinarily helpful. She talked me through every part of the legal and emotional process step by step. She was gracious and generous, with both her time and expenses. I had to file an order to show cause because my child's health was being compromised by the other parent. The response that came from the court was confusing and complicated. Again, Martha was there every step of the way. Explained my options clearly and helped me to feel that my concerns were her concerns as well. She always made herself available to me when something came up. I won the case and my child is safer because of the time, concern, intelligence, hard work and care that Martha gave. I do not know what would have happened if I had not had her legal help. My family and I are very fortunate to have had her as our lawyer and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a smart, cunning, caring, invested lawyer. She is an excellent lawyer.
