Professional Attorney
I was recommended to Emily through a positive experience of a friend. From start to finish in my divorce process, Emily was a pleasure to deal with. Her guidance and professionalism was very much appreciated every step of the way. She has an impressive demeanor and demonstrated the ability for keeping intense situations comfortable and calm. I would not hesitate to recommend Emily for all your legal marital services.

Simply The Best!
During the lowest period in my life and after four other lawyers, I was fortunate enough to find Emily Record, Esq. She is, by far, one of the most proficient attorneys in New York! Her ability to transform a chaotic and hostile situation into an amicable and cordial event is remarkable. After being unsuccessful with so many lawyers in the past I was amazed by how much she was able to identify and correct during the initial consultation. She exudes great confidence and strength while maintaining the perfect balance of compassion and professionalism. Her attention to detail and foresight enable you to trust her counsel with no reservation. I am delighted to enthusiastically, and without any hesitation, recommend Emily to anyone in need of a superior family lawyer.

Emily Shaw Record Review
After "Interviewing" several lawyers for my Divorce, I chose Emily because I felt she was experienced, knowledgeable and professional. I can say that Emily was a pleasure to deal with from Start to Finish and I'm very happy I chose well. My case was very long due to the other party involved and throughout the whole process, Emily always kept me in the loop with all aspects of the case and I never felt neglected nor ignored even when I was frustrated and/or had multiple and sometimes the same questions. I highly reccomend Emily Shaw Record for your legal Needs.

Very Appreciative
In my experience with my separation/divorce case, Emily was all of the above and more. She knew how to handle my case in a timely fashion along with helpful legal advice along the way and much needed support. She is everything an excellent attorney should be. I am so glad I chose her. You will not be disappointed.

Choosing an attorney
This will be the most important decision in that it will affect the rest of your life. Yet we must choose at a time of immense stress. I started with a big name firm at top dollar then kept making an excuse to avoid switching attorneys. Finally, I moved to BMMR in the middle of the trial. Best decision I ever made. Throughout my engagement with BMMR I never doubted their integrity, honesty, diligence, and desire to expedite my case. Do not fool yourself, there are attorneys who put their own self interest first. It was not the case with BMMR. I could not give them a higher recommendation.

Completely professional and compassionate
A process that could have been a potential nightmare was made as comfortable and emotionally manageable all because of the law firm I chose to handle my case. I will be forever grateful to Emily for the support and guidance I was given during this difficult time.

Great Experience
I met Emily after having been through a very contested situation using another attorney. She reduced the damage that had already been done and helped me to settle on something that I found acceptable. She was knowledgeable, supportive and competent, I would recommend her without hesitation.

I would highly recommend Emily
I have used Emily from time to time over the last several years. She is thoughtful and responsive. I have not seen her in front of a judge, but her motion papers are first rate. She has a calm demeanor, which is very helpful under less-than-calm circumstances.

Inconsiderate
After a simple consultation (where I waited over an hour to be graced with her time) I was left with a non sypathetic we will get back to you. In a town full of directness I am surprised to have encountered such flakiness. Not impressed- and disappointed in the extreme lack of follow up or at least human caring or empathy- for someone who brags about their background in psychology I believe they are missing a compassion and understanding in their interaction with others. Can only hope others are treated better than I was.
