    How Much? When facing a separation or divorce, a common thought is, “how much child support am I going to have to pay?” or “how much child support will I receive?” Although the applicable statute calls for a rather long and convoluted calculation to determine the amount of child support, there is an easy, shortcut formula that will quickly get you a close estimate.

A wonderful blessing
I had the wonderful opportunity to meet and have represent me , Steven Gildin. He demonstrated a deep understanding of divorce law, which was evident in the way he meticulously crafted my Objection to the initial Decision. He didn't just address the points of weakness; he delved deep into the intricacies of the law to highlight all the faults within the Decision. His artful approach not only defended my interests but also shed light on aspects of the case that were previously overlooked. But what sets Steven apart is not just his legal acumen; it's also his emotional intelligence. Divorce proceedings are inherently stressful, filled with moments of worry and anxiety. Steven was always there to provide balance and reassurance when I needed it the most. His calming assurance made a world of difference, helping me navigate the emotional rollercoaster with a sense of stability.

Child support
As soon as I called Steven he was upfront and straight with me. He assured me that he will be able to help me resolve my case after years and years getting nowhere with other attorney’s. His fee was very reasonable and his service was outstanding. He kept me up to date with everything that was happening with my case even during the Covid-19 shutdown. I was honestly not sure that I will have my child support case arrears dropped but I have to say Steven got it done. I would recommend him to anyone that is having child support arrear issues. Thank you to the only attorney that got the job done and I’m a timely response.

Child custody
Today was my first hearing with Steven and prior to today I’ve heard nothing but bad stories from single fathers in custody hearings. Steven assured me with utmost confidence from our first conversation that I had a strong case and today he showed me that his word was true. I couldn’t sleep or eat before todays hearing but after today I feel 10x better. It may be a long road ahead but with Steven and his team by my side I’m confident in whatever obstacles may come my way! Thank you!

I had a recent case and Steven helped me to resolve prior to my court date. With out prior speaking to him before he helped me and choose to walk me through the process and went as far as emailing to opposing lawyer to make sure I am in a good position. Defiantly will reach out to him in the future. Thank you again.

Amazing Attorney! Divorce, Child Custody... Steve is your advocate!
I leave this review because i couldnt be more pleased with the work that Steve did with my case.. When i found Steve i was desperate after dealing with a typical assembly line law firm here in Queens(not mentioning names). Steve took my case and the FIRST thing he said to me was " you sound like a good parent, you care deeply about seeing your kids and you are worried" he then said something interesting, he said" now i want you to relax and stop pacing back and forth" i thought to myself, is this guy psychic or something because for 3 months that's all i was doing dealing with a very complex interstate child custody issue... Steve told me: "I will tell you when its time to pace and get worried" 8 months into this and that time has never come.. Steve is honest, hard-working, very smart and uses all the tools and tactics available legally to get you the best results! I recommend him HIGHLY!!

Excellent
Hiring Mr. Gildin or should I say Steven was the best decision I made. Dealing with custody child support decision making and the court was a scary experience for me, I was unsure of what to do, and how to deal with the court system. However when I receive my free consultation from Steven I knew this was the guy for my case. He made me feel confident, He has been by myside every step of the way. Even when I was worried he was there to reassure me multiple times and made me feel worry free.

The most competent, diligent, understanding attorney that I have ever met. Mr. Gildin was able to articulate my options, answer all my questions with useful information and properly guide me in the direction I needed to be going in. Mr. Gildin was always reachable and dependable and made a terrible life changing experience tolerable and as painless as he possible.

Outstanding Services/ Very Happy Client
Iam very impressed with Mr. Gilden. He shows compassion and understanding for his clients. He supersedes all my exspections. I was working with another attorney previously, my old attorney was was not communicating with me about my case ,nor submitting documents in a timely fashion. I was very depressed and felt that I was not getting the service I paid for. I contacted Mr. Gilden he did everything I asked for and more. He communicated with me on a daily basis and was very honest about everything. Im so thankful for all he has done. If you need legal assistance dont hesitate to reach out to him. Time and precious and you need the right person to represent you.

Highly Recommended, Very Professional, Honest, Detailed, Extremely helpful
Hired Mr. Gildin recently to handle my divorce and I couldn't have made a better choice. He has quickly helped me turn a very stressful situation in to a stress free process that protects my children and I. Quick to respond to emails, easy to reach by phone, checks in to see how things are and to give updates, fights for your legal rights, detailed, leaves no stone unturned. Overall great to work with.
