Steven Eric Shumer

I could not have had a better attorney for my divorce case. He wasn’t my first attorney for the divorce . Many times things were falling apart with my original council, who had poor ethics and bled so much of my finances running me in the ground with little done. This is when I and hired mr shumer w...ho took the challenge when my case was a mess. He quickly pulled everything together and tied up every loose string in record timing. My only regret is not finding him first! He was recommended by a friend of mine, who also spoke very high of him. There is much more I can go on to explain what a god send he was for me, and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for him. He was always honest, put me at ease with his guidance , updated me promptly with any developments, and truely seemed to care. And was very generous with his billing which was another plus ! Haha. Sometimes I feel he cut himself short for being so generous . What else can I say, he was my guardian angle.

“Steve Shumer, of Berger, Fischoff, Shumer, Wexler & Goodman was highly recommended as a divorce attorney by a family friend. I was terrified and did not know where to begin. Steve was able to calm my nerves and guide me through the process in a very calming, compassionate and concise manner. He t...ook the time to answer all of my numerous questions and was very understanding of some of the very emotional and sensitive aspects of my divorce. He always had the best interests of myself and my children in mind. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional and was able to reach an agreement very quickly. He was always easily reachable and communicative. I would highly recommend him as an attorney for all divorce matters.”

To Whom It May Concern: I took time out of my busy schedule to write this recommendation, as Steve Shumer always made the time for me when I needed it during my divorce. After interviewing several attorneys that were recommended to me, I chose Steve. Obviously, most any divorce, even in the bes...t of circumstances can be complicated and have tense/defining moments. My estate was very complex and yet we were able to move through it at a very reasonable pace, as Steve set realistic expectations from the start and he had a humanistic approach that was impressive and I thought it was a real differentiator when hiring him. Steve was able to help me navigate the more difficult moments from an intellectual perspective and when things needed to move at a clip, which usually isn’t possible in a divorce, Steve made it happen anyway. He was also quite patient and I found him especially adept at handling the opposing counsel. Lastly, he was someone I could really count on and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve to anyone. He made a difference in both my divorce and therefore my life. M.W.

I was referred and recommended to Steven Shumer of Berger, Fischoff & Shumer through another attorney. I had a somewhat complicated custody situation that was made worse by a prior attorney. Steve took the time and listened to my situation to get a complete understanding of where I was at and the pro...blems I was facing. He then formulated a plan that made sense to me, as well as the court as it turned out. Things went as well and better than I had even hoped and I now have formal custody of my daughter! As a father, I know that it is not "the norm" to have custody of a teenage girl, but Steve, his associate Brian Schechter, and his entire staff helped that become a reality. Steve has also been completely helpful for all follow up issues. He has always been reachable and communicative. I would definitely recommend Steve, Brian and Berger, Fischoff &Shumer for all custody, family court or divorce matters! R.M-Huntington
