Unconditional Recommendation

James and his team are extraordinary advocates, counselors and advisors. Going through a divorce is obviously a highly emotional and charged process and while I felt (and knew) I was receiving exceptional legal counsel and representation, I also felt it came with genuine care and compassion. James he...lped me deftly navigate the hardest period of my life. I would recommend James and his firm without hesitation.

An exceptional divorce lawyer

James Joseph represented me both for my divorce with my first wife, and to create a pre-nup for my second and current wife. With both experiences I would say I had an exceptional experience. My divorce was extremely acrimonious, and I began with a very gung-ho lawyer who I won't name. I gave him a... non-refundable deposit that lasted all of two days before I came to my senses and realized that going to war over the end of my marriage wasn't going to benefit myself, my wife, or our teenage daughter. James was a great representative, who tried to get the best possible arrangement for me, given that my ex-wife was very unreasonable and difficult to work with. He was careful, consistent, and communicative: all things that you may not appreciate in a divorce lawyer until you have someone who isn't any of those things. He was an early user of email before it became an accepted work practice, for example. Going through a divorce is a very emotional and difficult experience, even under the best circumstances. I would highly recommend using James for your lawyer.

Family lawyer | May 26

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. James is a top notch lawyer that I met through the New York Association of Collaborative Lawyers. I have been very impressed with his knowledge, ethics and dedication to matrimonial and family law alternative dispute resolution. I recommended James's firm in a litigated matter to the wife of one of my client's on a Family Offense or Order of Protection case in Family Court. I was conflicted from representing both my client and his wife at the same time that were both defending themselves against allegations from my client's ex-wife. He assigned a top notch lawyer from his firm to handle the case and we worked together to achieve victory. I endorse this lawyer and his firm wholeheartedly."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"James has an unsurpassed and well-deserved reputation for diligent advocacy on behalf of his clients with integrity and civility. He is a leader in the matrimonial bar whose efforts to improve his firm and the profession are unending. When working with a client, he remains focused on efficiently and reasonably reaching the goal. While a zealous litigator with the highest skills, James is at the forefront of the practice of Collaborative Law, a forum that gives his clients the opportunity to transition through divorce with unique solutions while minimizing trauma for them and and their families."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Feb 12

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"James and I have been opposing counsel on many matters over the years. I have always found him to be a true professional. James is experienced and knowledgeable. Not only is James an excellent lawyer, he is a gentleman, yet a strong advocate for his clients. Although James tries to take a realistic and pragmatic approach with an eye toward settlement, he nonetheless is always willing to vigorously litigate on behalf of a client when necessary. I endorse this lawyer without reservation."
