About Jeffrey
Biography
I live in Brooklyn, am married and have a son. When I'm not in the office I enjoy the outdoors. I love astronomy, photograph, biking, snowshoeing, rock scrabling, and most of all hiking, especially in the mountains. My son and I am a members of the Catskills 3500 Club. That means that we have hiked all 35 peaks of the Catkills that are over 3,500 feet, and we need 4 of them again in the winter.
When you visit my office you will notice my love of the outdoors and nature. From the music in my waiting room (and if you are on hold on the the telephone) to the photos that I have taken that are on the walls of my office and the plants.
I became a lawyer in order to help others. This is one of the ways in which I try to make a positive difference in the world. When you retain our office to represent you, you become more than a client, you become a member of our extended family. That means that any time you have a legal question, you are just a phone call, email or office visit away from a free consultation to answer your question.

Worst experience ever
Been waiting for a divorce certificate for over two months when already paid almost 200 dollars for something that is 20 ...just because I live out of state. Every time I call is a different excuse but not result. Ridiculous and unprofessional. End of history I coming to New York to get it for myself...

Excellent consultation
I contacted Mr.Peltz to discuss divorce and annulment issues. Mr. Peltz provided a detailed and thorough explanation of the differences between the two and what the law requires. I highly recommend Mr. Peltz for any divorce or annulment matters.

I hired Jeffrey B. Paltz to draft my Will. I found him to be efficient and considerate. He also informed me about items that I otherwise would not have thought to include. Thank you!

True Professional
I have not much respect for lawyers, but Jeffrey is a different breed. I hire Jeffrey for a sensitive case. My previous lawyer took 4x the amount of time and was not able to finish the case. Also he completed my case in a very short time, faster than normal. Jeffrey is quick, precise and targe...
