Posted by Anthony | December 08, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Any parent facing a high-conflict custody battle would be fortunate to have him in their corner!

Jordan Trager represented me during one of the hardest periods of my life, and what stood out from the very beginning was how deeply he cared about my daughter. He didn’t treat my case like routine litigation. He treated it like a child’s future genuinely mattered, and he carried that responsibility ...with real heart and unwavering focus. The situation was complex, emotional, and exhausting, yet Jordan never lost his steadiness. He listened closely, understood the history, and fought for clarity and truth at every turn. He combined sharp legal skill with a human understanding that is rare in this field. I am grateful for his dedication, his professionalism, and the level of care he brought to a case that demanded far more than the usual attorney-client relationship. Any parent facing a high-conflict custody battle would be fortunate to have him in their corner. His compassion and commitment made an enormous difference.

Jordan is a compassionate and professional divorce lawyer!

Jordan has been representing me during my current divorce proceeding which is close to being finalized. Jordan is attentive, knowledgeable and we worked well together to develop a reasonable stipulation with my future ex-wife and her lawyer. He is also very knowledge of the Nassau County Divorce Cour...t System (e.g. judges, lawyers, procedures, etc.) which I believe was a benefit in my case. I would recommend Jordan to others who unfortunately, find themselves in need of a divorce lawyer.

Run! He Works for the Soon to be Ex not You!

In Jan. 2011, I hired Jerome, of Wissleman, Harounian & Associates. After a week (after the 3 day allowance to break the contract), they just hired Jordan Trager and unfortunately gave him my divorce to handle. This man, didn't return calls, emails, and keep loosing important papers. I had to keep... reminding him that He Worked For Me NOT For My Husband! During the 3 ring circus of a Divorce Trial, he again had me trying to get bank statements on the lunch break, (which he lost 2 times prior already), he didn't object, or cross examine. When the judge yelled at me for not providing papers after she subpoenaed me, I turned to her asked "what subpoena?" She said she sent it to my counsel, Jordan. He lost it and never informed me of such. Not only did they charge me $75,000 but I was stuck with my ex-husbands credit card debt of $42,000, that he charged on my cards during the marriage. The judge ordered that my ex was to pay me $2500.00 towards my divorce bill. I had paid Jordan and his firm in full. My ex sent the firm the $2,500.00 and they refused to give it to me; they kept it. Even when we were putting a custody agreement together, I didn't want to sign since it was allowing my ex to put the children in a psychiatric facility if he chooses, (and he did try to do so, but I got a better lawyer when that time came, and my children were saved). I also wanted the holiday of Rosh Hashanah, he refused to add it because I wasn't Jewish. But my ex got Veterans Day and he nor his family members weren't Vets. Double Standard. A Divorce is a very emotional, trying time. You do not need to feel that your lawyer is not working for you. I do not recommend this very expensive lawyer who isn't worth a quarter of his bill. After the divorce, I was served with bogus custody papers. I did not want to loose so I hired the best lawyer in New York. My ex-husband complained in court that he wanted me to rehire Jordan and fire my new lawyer and that wasn't happening. Even the judge wouldn't side with him. Run!
