100% the best and smartest decision I made was retaining Jay!

I retained Jay toward the end of my divorce proceedings after going to numerous court appearances with my first attorney who was awful. My case should have been an easy one, however it was completely mishandled from the start. My first attorney was inexperienced, could not read the judge, and my case... suffered miserably because of it. Jay was recommended to me by a friend and my only regret is not retaining him in the first place. Jay's awesome personality and demeanor, combined with a quick mind and tongue, wins him favor among the judges and other attorneys. I can't thank him enough. I truly believe the outcome of my proceedings would have been terrible had I not switched attorneys. His fees were completely reasonable and he didn't tack on unnecessary extras to boost up the bill like my first attorney had done. Friends had told me having a great attorney is everything and they were right. Thank you Jay, for everything!

One of the best divorce attorneys on Long Island

There are really no words to describe my experience with Mr Raxenberg, except excellent. Jay is an incredible attorney, well versed on all divorce legal procedures. Jay worked very hard to ensure that I got the best representation, and he will do the same for you if you retain his services. Jay was... available as much as I needed him, and answered all my questions. Jay is very professional, fair minded, and just. I consider him not only a great attorney, I consider Jay a great friend.

Excellent for Child Custody Case

I did a lot of research online when searching for a lawyer to handle my custody case. I came across Jay and spoke with him and I didn't trust anyone else to do the job. He was helpful and supportive from the beginning to the end. He answered all of my questions and explained everything clearly and a...lways got back to me in a timely manner. He was extremely easy to talk to. Jay is very knowledgable in his field of work. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to help me rightfully win full custody of my child. I would highly reccommend him to anyone going through a similar situation.

What A Special Lawyer

I first contacted Jay after being referred to him by a friend who was going thru a bad divorce . My friend had sworn by Jay who helped him get custody of his son in a case that was being handled in family court. I was told Jay would be there for me and walk me thru the legal process I knew nothing ...about. I hired Jay to draw up a pre nuptial agreement between myself and my future bride. Jay was outstanding in every aspect of this agreement from start to finish. Jay drafted the agreement and I have to say that when Jay dealt with my future wife's attorney he was professional,straight forward and fair. I priced this service out ahead of time and jay's fees were also very reasonable. I really hope nobody ever needs a family court lawyer or divorce attorney but if you do Jay RAXENBERG is the only attorney I would hire.
