The absolute best!!

Shany was a literal God send for me. Prior to her coming on, my case felt stagnant. She took on the case and said that she would turn the whole situation around. And boy did she deliver! She immediately set everything in motion to get my case settled as quickly as possible. She is an absolute shark. ...She is very thorough. She will always remember the details of your case. She is always well prepared for court. She knows the ins and outs of the court system. She will always be honest and straightforward with you. Divorce and the whole court process is absolutely miserable but having Shany made the whole process much easier. She is genuinely a good person and you can tell she cares a lot and is protective of her clients. I went in to each conference confident knowing she had my back. My case settled with the best outcome possible. The staff is so kind and professional as well. You are definitely in good hands with Shany and her team. They are the best hands down!

Highly contested custody/financial dispute

Navigating a highly contested divorce is never easy, especially when it involves both custody disputes and complex financial settlements. Shany was my guiding light throughout this arduous process that spanned 3.5 years. Despite the significant friction and the complications posed by the opposing cou...nsel, Shany's expertise and unwavering support led to an outstanding outcome. Shany secured a 50-50 custody arrangement for me, which was no small feat given the circumstances. Her deep knowledge of the law, coupled with her ability to remember every detail I shared with her, made me feel confident and reassured every step of the way. The financial settlement, which was long and complex, also ended in a positive outcome thanks to her diligent work. What truly sets Shany apart is her thoughtfulness and dedication. She always took the time to listen to my concerns, provided clear and insightful advice, and never missed a beat. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had her on my side during this challenging time. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about your case, Shany is the one you want in your corner.

Charles

Shany took the bull of an Israeli divorce and had it domesticated by a New York court so that my ex-wife and I could divide up our US based assets, including traditional and Roth IRAs. She mastered the dual languages (Hebrew and English) of the dual Israeli court system (Rabbinic and municipal), and... attained a court order mandating that the New York based investment organizations complete the terms of the divorce. Shany is patient, thorough, tactful, focused, strategic, articulate as well as accessible and friendly. She persists in making sure she has all the information, and doesn't hesitate to roll up her sleeves to make sure the documentation is complete, accurate, and timely. She lets the doing be an exercise and not an exhibition. It was clear that the judge, during our court appearance via Zoom, also holds her work and suggestions with high regard. My exwife and I recommend her highly for her diligence, charm, communication skills, and strategic capabilities. We also appreciated the reasonable fee structure of her boss, Jonathan Kroll, whom we thought had passed our case on to a "junior" colleague when, in fact, Shayna was highly competent and caring.

Excellent Attorney

Shany, represented me in a custody case that I thought would never end. She is highly knowledgeable in family law, professional and very client service focused. She made the entire process go smoothly and kept me informed every step of the way. She delivered an excellent outcome and I am very happ...y with the results of my custody case. My recommendation to any and everyone is that you can take comfort in knowing that you retain Shany Kirshner for your legal needs, you have hired THE VERY BEST!!
