Ian S. Mednick

Ian S. Mednick represented me for my divorce. His knowledge, experience, and tenacity in fighting for my rights as a father helped me to win joint custody of my children, keep my home, and not have to pay child support. My ex fought hard for full custody, the house, child support, and maintenance. I ...do not know what the result would have been with a different attorney. When my ex decided to violate the stipulation, I went back to Mr. Mednick to represent me again. I have already recommended Ian Mednick to friends needing a divorce lawyer and I would gladly do the same for anyone else.

Ian has represented me for my child custody and support cases quite a few times. His professionalism in the office when discussing my case was amazing. He went over every option with me not just the "most expensive" He took the time to answer all my questions and make each and every step clear to me.... His professionalism was not just in the office, but in the court room as well. I felt so confident each and every time appearing before the judge and having a great feeling knowing he was so confident in what he job, as well as predicting the outcomes. He is a very personable attorney who does not intimidate you with his vast knowledge of the law, but educates you at each meeting.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Mednick in 2011, he represented my boyfriend in a nasty divorce & custody case. There were false allegations filed in the court paperwork by his ex-wife and her financial demands nearly exceeded his annual salary. She had just voluntarily quit her full time job and t...ook a part time position with over a 50% pay cut, in an attempt to claim poverty & make my boyfriend pay spousal support and all of her attorney’s fees. In addition, she was attempting to severely restrict his visitation time with his children. My boyfriend adores his children & cherishes every moment with them, he felt helpless and completely stressed over the situation. Ian immediately reassured him that her allegations were clearly fabricated, because they were so ambiguous. He fought for joint custody, the time with the children divided equally. He fought hard to prove that she intentionally quit her job in order to make my boyfriend pay far more than his fair share. At one point during the proceedings, my boyfriend’s ex-wife denied his weekend visitation, unless her petty demands were met. Ian scheduled an emergency meeting with the judge, cleared up the issue and there was no further interference with his visitation. Ian immediately addressed all the issues as they arose, he fought hard and maintained a no nonsense approach. He did not waste any time on the nonsense that he knew the judge would not entertain. He stuck to the core issues. As a result, my boyfriend has joint custody and physical custody 50% of the time. Ian was able to prove to the judge that my boyfriend’s ex-wife intentionally quit her job to sabotage her income. As a result, his ex was ordered to divide the joint expenses for the children according to her original full time income, not the part time income when she appeared in court. My boyfriend kept his pension and only had to pay 10% of her attorney’s fees. In April 2013, my boyfriend’s ex-wife filed a case in family court, claiming that he owes her a mere $1,400 and again is attempting to restrict his time and communication with his children. Meanwhile, she currently owes him over $10,000, according to the judge’s pendente lite order. My boyfriend and I turned to Ian Mednick for assistance in this issue. Because family court has no jurisdiction over the divorce decree & pendente lite order, we retained Ian for the second time and moved the entire case up to Supreme Court to deal with all the financial and custodial issues. Ian did not try to sell us on this decision, he provided all of the pros & cons honestly and said it was ‘up to us’. Ian is a highly experienced and skilled litigator. I would highly recommend him for any divorce, family or custodial issues. He will address all of your concerns and be honest about the potential outcome. His rates are very fair for the high quality of representation you will receive.
