Working with Jay D. Raxenberg on my case

I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience working with Jay Raxenberg. He came highly recommended by a trusted lawyer friend, who assured me Jay is truly the best in family court—and they were absolutely right. Not only did Jay handle my case with skill and dedication, but he also went above and... beyond, offering invaluable advice in other areas that helped me save money. Jay always made himself available when I needed him, without going through associates or a secretary, which made me feel genuinely supported and confident in his care. He made me feel like he truly had my best interests at heart. I would recommend Jay to anyone looking for a family law attorney. Thank you, Jay—you’re truly the best!

Excellent Attorney

I've worked with Jay Raxenberg for the past 4.5 years on my divorce case and now on child support matters, and I couldn't be more satisfied with his representation. Jay is incredibly knowledgeable, navigating the complexities of my case with skill and persistence. Thanks to his expertise and dedicati...on, I was able to secure a fair divorce settlement and feel confident moving forward with his guidance on child support issues. He was attentive to my concerns and took the time to ensure I understood every step. I highly recommend Jay Raxenberg to anyone needing a reliable, experienced divorce and family attorney.

He drags out your case beware money hungry

I hired Jay Raxenberg as my support attorney, the fist court appearance with the magistrate and my ex and his attorney, made me feel he didn’t mind drag the case out not to mention his retainer is 5,000 just for child support case. Seems like he is trying to use oof all the retainer, plus whatever el...se he can get. That same morning for my support case when he found out my ex was taking me to custody he kept asking was I going to hire him for the custody case. I stated to him I was not worried about that because of my ex schedule due to work and plus he hardly is around my child. After the first court appearance I switched to attorney Jason Isaacson the best decision I made. He was very on point and knowledgeable and not trying to drag this case out, not to mention his retainer is only 3,500. My new attorney Jason Isaacson, got a lot accomplished his first time more than likely I will get some of my retainer back, when we complete this case. I also hired him for my custody case as well. Mr. Raxenberg is knowledgeable as well with family court and the laws but, he seems to excel in being even more knowledgeable at how to pro long the case. Beware MONEY HUNGRY!!! I do not recommend Jay Raxenberg as an attorney he likes to drag out his case to get all of your money plus more.

Superb Service

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Jay Raxenberg, for all the care and concern, you have shown me and for working tirelessly to ensure that the law worked in my favor. If it weren’t for your analytical skills and knowledge, my support case wouldn’t have been settled by now. Thanks ...once again for your legal advice, time, and efforts. I'm truly happy and satisfied with my final outcome. ​I would highly recommend your services to anyone. Hands down!!!!

Working together with Mr. Raxenberg as co-counsel is an absolute pleasure

I have had the pleasure of working together as co-counsel with Mr. Raxenberg on several contested matrimonial matters. In these cases and otherwise, I have known Mr. Raxenberg to zealously advocate for his clients. He exemplifies professionalism in every respect and is well regarded in the legal comm...unity for his competency, fairness, and integrity. He is a proficient and accomplished litigator and maintains a reputation for his distinctive ability to work together with his clients, as a team, to analyze issues and formulate a resolution or plan of action that is consistently tailored to the client’s needs and best interests. He is unfailingly responsive and diligent. The clients that we have worked with together have commented positively with regard to his fervent advocacy, empathy, and attentiveness to their concerns. I have found him to be an absolute joy to work with.
