ONE OF THE BEST DIVORCE / FAMILY ATTORNEY’S ON LONG ISLAND

Nancy Dreeben is someone very special. I had fired my 3rd divorce attorney after spending over 100k in attorney fees fighting a very difficult ex spouse and her boypal William Sullivan of Long Tuminello in Bayshore, NY. He was representing my ex wife FREE OF CHARGE for four years (I’d like to know ...what male divorce attorney represents a female client for free unless there’s a personal relationship of some type? Am I right?) Anyway, this clown thought that I was going to foot the bill and when I had separated from my third attorney. He very stupidly and foolishly filed a $100,000 plus lawsuit to try and collect his attorney fees that he had been racking up for the last four years servicing my ex wife. I contacted a friend of mine who was a criminal attorney and I asked him if he could refer an attorney to me. He did not hesitate to give me Nancy Dreeben. Nancy obliterated this clown in court...she manhandled him....she made him look like the minor-league attorney that he truly is. Nancy exploited his entire lawsuit which was amuck with errors, omissions and mistruths. She brought up the fact that he represented my ex-wife free of charge and what type of divorce attorney does that! It was like the slaying of the beast. The judge found in our favor and only awarded his firm a total of $7500. which was my NYS minimum required to pay because I am the money party. Nancy has done a tremendous job for me on several other fronts including reworking my custody and visitation agreement with my ex-wife who was exploiting the language in our old stip of settlement to restrict my access to my children. Nancy put a stop to that as well as defending me in a frivolous order of protection brought by my ex wife. Nancy is a student of the law. She is extremely well prepared in court. She is articulate and fights hard for me. By far and away, Nancy Dreeben, is one of the best attorneys that I have ever dealt with in my life. If for any reason you were considering hiring Nancy, my advice would be that if you didn’t do it that would be the biggest mistake you made. Need to give you a fighting chance and is usually followed by a victory. That is my experience with this find attorney!

Careless and misleading

I hired this attorney after being referred by another whom I had used in the past. The initial meeting at her home was brief but positive and left me optimistic. I hired her despite her high hourly rate. Unfortunately She called me after 9pm the night before court to inform me that she had lost all o...f my paperwork. She then arrived at court late and unprepared and the results were comsideribly worse than her “worst case scenario”. She offered a partial refund and after several inqueries instead sent me a bill claiming I owed her more money. Very dissatisfied and would NOT recommend

I did not lose HIS paperwork but I did misplace MY notes. This client told me he made more child support payments but when he got to court he had Insufficient proof. (Always pay your c/s by check or money order and save all receipts) and he also told me he was entitled to credits from rental income which was true but the rental income was lower than he reported. My prediction was based on his information. If you tell your attorney the truth you can get an honest prediction of the outcome; when you don’t you cannot. This client paid a minimum retainer and I told him if there was anything left I would refund him. He owed me $100.00 and I waived it. Some people like to blame someone else instead of owning their mistakes. I wish him good luck.

A lawyer who truly cares for her clients. Don't let her tiny stature fool you. She fights for her clients. We found her to be very fair and knowledgeable. Thank you Ms. Dreeben for all you did for our family.

A great lawyer who cares about her clients

Nancy represented me in my divorce (and also represented my brother in his). Her care and attentiveness towards my legal matter and me as a person were top notch. She knows when to be aggressive and when to lay back always having a mind on the client's mental, emotional, financial and, of course, l...egal well being.
