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.

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 !!!!

AS JAY SAYS LASS IS MORE!!!!

Jay is not only a good friend but he is, above all, a very competent attorney, with big heart. He is representing me in difficult divorce. There was a moments when he will get more upset then I when my X Wife to be would not cooperate regarding our financial situation and our beautiful Daughters. ... I would recommend him to all my friends and family...

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!
