Excellent Attorney!

Neil Cahn is an outstanding family law attorney. He is very professional, knowledgeable and competent. I found him to be most efficient in negotiating my divorce stipulation. In addition I couldn't ask for a more compassionate attorney. He always had my best interests at heart and was very fair ...in his fees. I would recommend him highly to anyone who is looking for an attorney who really cares about his clients. He is top in his field as far as I am concerned!

He Made the Divorce Process Easier

Mr. Cahn made my divorce an easier process to go through. He truly listened to my concerns for my future and that of my daughter. When working out my agreement, he dotted every "I" and crossed every "T". There wasn't a future possible event that was not accounted for in my agreement. There was ne...ver a moment when I didn't trust his expert advise. He was always very accessible. He is a lawyer who truly cares about his clients and the family dynamic and I consider myself very lucky to have had him handle my case.

Highest Commendations For Neil Cahn

Not only is Neil Cahn a brilliant attorney but he is honest, concerned, kind and caring as well. I was referred to Mr. Cahn through a friend who had dealings with him during her divorce. She held him in the highest regard as I now do after having been represented by him through my divorce. ...I was properly guided by Mr. Cahn throughout the entire divorce process. I was not knowledgeable about many financial matters but he took the time and had the patience to make sure I understood each and every matter that we discussed so that I, with his guidance, could make smart and informed decisions. As well as being sharp, insightful, and extremely knowledgeable on the law, he added the right touch of compassion and humanity to a very difficult and emotional process. I don't believe I would be where I am today without having had Mr. Cahn as my attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone who would like to be represented by an attorney with honesty, integrity, professionalism and impeccable skills.

Highly Rated Lawyers

I had Neil Cahn as my Lawyer through my divorce to my first husband. In my personal opinion, I found him to be top notch in his field. He is upright, honest, kind, caring and understanding in all matters. I also had him ten years later for my prenuptial agreement with my second husband and he dire...cted me in all the right areas. He protected and advised me without causing any problems between my now husband and myself. It could have been extremely difficult with two families involved, but with his expertise it was handled quite well. I would strongly recommend him and have the most utmost respect for how he handles himself in all he endeavors.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Neil is a superb attorney who was a big part in showing me that collaborative law is a process that works. I had the opportunity to work with Neil on a collaborative project through the New York Association of Collaborative Professionals. He was the attorney for the other party on the collaborative team. Through his expert guidance, contentious issues were overcome to facilitate the settlement process with positive feelings and excellent results. Neil has further impressed me with his depth of matrimonial and family law knowledge which he regularly shares through his blog. Whether a client needs a litigator or is interested in alternative dispute resolution such as collaborative law, I recommend Neil Cahn, Esq. without hesitation."
