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!

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.

Jay is an excellent lawyer

I am very pleased with my experience with Jay Raxenberg. He is affordable, patient and intelligent. He made me feel like he was my friend who had my best interest when it pertained to my family needs. He made himself available anytime I needed to ask a question about my case. I like the fact I didn’t... have to go through his associates or secretary. That made me very comfortable and confident that he would handle my case genuinely. I would recommend him to anyone who ask for a family law attorney. Thank you jay. You’re the best !!!!

Jay Raxenberg Top Choice

Jay has been more than a hired professional during my divorce proceedings; he is a confidant, a trusted advisor, at times a friend, and a bulldog when necessary. He treated my daughter and I with respect and fought for our best interests. He also guided me through the difficult process with patience ...and diligence and made himself available whevever I had questions or concerns. Most importantly, I felt confident and safe that Jay would ensure my daughter and I would be protected during a turbulent and frightening time in our lives. I highly recommend Jay Raxenberg for family court and divorce proceedings.
