Mark I. Plaine is one of the finest divorce and family lawyers in NYC, possibly the country. I learned most of my skills as a lawyer from Mr. Plaine. He is one of the most ethical, knowledgeable and respected divorce attorneys among both attorneys and judges. He can be depended upon for his legal advice and understanding of the law. He is a lawyer's lawyer and will be your zealous advocate.

Justin Feinman, Family Attorney on Mar 10, 2020
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Mark was a professional adversary who was well versed in the nuanced issues that we had to deal with.

Paul Leavin, Marriage and prenuptials Attorney on Mar 10, 2020
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I first met Mark as opposing counsel on a very difficult custody/visitation litigation, and although we were on opposing "sides," his work was thorough, intelligent, creative, aggressive but always ethical. I have subsequently referred cases to him with excellent results, as well as a custody appeal which he handled with great skill. I would endorse him without any qualification. Paul Leavin

Carolyn Halk

My professional experience with Mr. Plaine was above reproach and his intelligent and ethical participation in divorce litigation served both clients extremely well in achieving a settlement of all issues.
