Mensch is a Yiddish which roughly means a good person, a person of integrity and honesty, and I can’t think of a better word to describe Marni Schwartz. I highly recommend Marni for anyone in need of legal representation. I have used Marni for my divorce and recently for a custody matter, and I coul...dn't have been more grateful for her expertise and guidance every step of the way. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable in her field, but she also took the time to make sure I understood all of my options and what to expect throughout the process. She was always responsive and kept me updated on any developments or changes in my case. Additionally, she was very professional and compassionate, making a difficult situation a bit easier to handle. Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Marni and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal representation.

2012 I sought out Marni for legal advice on divorce. We met - I clearly was not emotionally ready . 2013 I was! And she handled not only all the details to ensure I got an extremely fair settlement - she took phone calls - emails - text at all times of the day to calm my worries and remind my how mu...ch I deserved this settlement. She cared about ME and ensuring every angle of the law was looked at when creating my divorcee settlement. I felt protected and safe in her care! 6 years later it was the best decision I made and best Lawyer to have on my side. She is smart - tough - and compassionate!! Do not hesitate to get her on your side.... you’ll win!

Client

I had a high-conflict and a high-asset divorce. I was represented by Marni Schwartz and Amos Whitney from Weinberg and Schwartz. They worked hard for me, were dedicated, tough, provided the right advice at the right time, while at the same time being empathetic, caring and supportive. I have recommen...ded friends/family to this firm and would continue to do so in the future.

Client of more than 3 years

During the initial divorce process, I inquired from my professional friends to provide names of reputable family law attorneys. One name that was highly recommended by several was Marni Schwartz. With over 25 years of experience, Marni is a very dedicated, empathetic lawyer who was there every step o...f the way with honest advice always advocating for me. She would explain the best and worst outcomes of possible scenarios given her years of expertise and what is in the best interest of the children. The whole team at the office and her colleagues were very efficient, courteous and always accessible with immediate response to any inquiries. Her presentation in court and the thorough preparation by the whole team was exceptional. You certainly would want Marni and her team on your side if litigation is inevitable.I would highly recommend without hesitation to anyone going through the divorce process for the best outcome.

"Marni is an excellent attorney with numerous years of family law experience. I have seen Marni build relationships with her clients that last far past the divorce hearing. She is able to settle many matters out of court, but isn't afraid to advocate zealously for her client in court when necessary."
