Proven Track Record of Success

Mr. Schwartz has assisted several of my friends during their family law matters. I admired how expeditiously and effectively he handled their matters, especially when it came to matters pertaining to the children. When I unpredictably found myself in need of his services, he proved himself extremel...y capable, knowledgeable, and professional. He eased my mind during an exceptionally difficult time and helped me find the clarity I needed to make the best decisions for myself and my children.

I would not recommend this Lawyer

I hired this firm to help win back residential custody of my daughter. I had hopes that Jay would turn my wrong to right as promised. After paying much money , Jay did not achieve any of the agreements made. I was constantly billed and asked for payments, I didn't have . I am now being sued from this... firm . I would not recommend this lawyer.

Divorce

Jay Schwartz is the best I hired Jay Schwartz after my first attorney cost me $22,000 and was failing miserably he dragged my case on for 2 years and got no results and wanted to go to trial I hired Jay Schwartz and quickly he took control my case my wife's lawer was makeing a fool out of first lawer... when she found out Jay Schwartz was on board things changed immediately she wanted to settle the case.Jay does not play games he get straight to the point gets the job done and does a excellent job this man is worth its weight in gold he has an excellent staff and very professional the only thing I'm sorry about is I didn't hire Jay Schwartz from the beginning thank you and your staff for all your help.

The Best in The Business

Simply put Jay Schwartz is the best in the field of family law. He understands that divorce more often then not brings with it a high level of emotions to the negotiating table, While Jay will do his best to mediate and use alternative community resources as an alternative to a long drawn out trial, ...Jay is ready, willing, and able and fully prepared for trial. Jay, Thank you for your great work.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
