Seth Eric Schneiderman

I was hoping Seth could help me with my divorce. I have felt unsafe & he literally did nothing to help me. The charges were ridiculous. I only spoke to him for maybe 30 minutes total. And thousands of dollars later, absolutely nothing had been done. It’s obvious he could care less about his clien...ts.

I was referred to speak with Seth and I was very thankful I did. From the moment we had our first conversation he outlined what we would be able to accomplish. He was very thorough with details on the entire process. I was searching for my son's biological father who disappeared for years. We not onl...y found him but took him to court for past child support arrears and sole custody. I should have left this review along time ago and needed to have closure with myself before I was able to do so. This process started in the fall of 2018 and wrapped up right before the shutdown of Covid back in March 2019. It has been a little over a year since the case has been closed and I would highly encourage anyone who is in need of assistance to reach out to Seth. He always responded back within a 24 hour turn around time and sometimes within minutes. Thank you for everything you have done for my family.

I hired Seth to represent me in my divorce in 2005 and he was extremely successful in getting a fair settlement for me. I thought he was the best. Ten years later when my X was about to retire, he sued me to stop my alimony. I chose Seth again because of how well he did for me in the first settl...ement. HOWEVER, Seth did not see that I received a fair settlement on this 2nd lawsuit. In our meeting to prepare for the mediation, there was very little discussion. He didn't consider the impact of basic costs, like my mortgage, medical coverage, or any other needs I would have to meet as I aged. I was told to arrive at mediation at 9:00 am and when I arrived, everyone else had been there for an hour. I was given the wrong start time by his assistant. (I should have walked out.). Seth actually said that my husband had a bad lawyer in the divorce and that he'd gotten a bad deal. (I should have walked out.) When Seth and I were in our room supposed to be focused on assets & needs & what was fair and equitable, he was telling me all about his shore home. I sat there thinking this guy was terrific the first time so I trusted that he would represent me fairly again. Foolishly, I left it all in his old incapable hands. He spent most of that morning in the room with my X, his attorney and the mediator. He came in our room and told me what I was NOT going to get (a fair mediation) and again, I sat there, alone, unfair representation and signed on the dotted line ~ Now I am nearing 70, was married to that abusive Corporate millionaire for 26 years! I am living on a very limited budget with very little security. I know that I was naive and unwise, and I foolishly sat there while I was railroaded by everyone in that mediation. I am not bitter or money hungry, just adjusting to a new & limited lifestyle. The thing is, 5 years later, I am living with results of that terrible mediation. I think everyone should know that just because an attorney was successful in one kind of case (and later Seth made it sound like we just got lucky). Do not hire the same attorney you used before. I made a very costly mistake and Seth really let me down .

I unfortunately had a vindictive ex-girlfriend who made some heinous false accusations. I went into court with knots in my stomach praying that my exes lies would not be believed. Seth was amazing in court, he dismantled the lies one by one with the judge finally dismissing the case completely. I w...as able to breathe a huge sigh of relief and get on with my life. I can't recommend Seth enough.
