Divorce and Separation 12%

Handle divorce-related matters throughout New York. I am skilled in all aspects of a divorce, including issues that affect minor children and the rights of both parents and grandparents, with a focus on complex and high asset property divisions, equitable distribution, and multi-jurisdictional disputes. I also have extensive experience with drafting legal separation agreements and marital property agreements to distribute assets.

Posted by Steven | May 31, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Responsive, thorough, creative, strategic

Reflecting back now that it is 10 years since my divorce, Rachel really did an incredible job navigating all the complex issues related to kids, division of property, future financial obligations, etc. she helped accelerate the process and our financial agreements have stood the test of time. in a to...ugh situation you want a steady mind and competent execution. I had a fair amount at stake and Rachel drove to an appropriate outcome that enabled me to quickly move on to more enjoyable aspects of life. Going through divorce sucks, but Rachel got me through successfully to the other side.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
