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.

Jay Schwartz was a life saver during a very ugly divorce

I was embroiled in a messy divorce where my wife was trying to destroy my reputation and take possession of all my assets. I was in trouble and sinking fast. I initially hired an attorney who was ineffective and unresponsive. I transferred my case to Jay Schwartz and immediately things changed for... the better. He defended against her specious attacks, devised an effective aggressive strategy and went to bat as my advocate. He always maintained the highest ethical standards. I was in trouble but he turned it around quickly. He motioned successfully to dismiss 2 judges who showed bias in their rulings. He defended my prenup agreement and convinced the court to impose an injunction to prevent my wife from approaching my work or residence. Ultimately, I prevailed through multiple trials, appeals, attacks on the prenup, and multiple motions to pay opposing counsel's legal fees. I was required to pay a minimum financial sum to my wife or her attorney. Jay took a dire situation and turned it into a major victory. He was a brilliant strategist and in court his pleadings were masterful. When you are in trouble he's the guy you want in your corner. I give him my highest recommendation

Excellent attorney. Best of the best.

I retained Mr. Schwartz for a highly litigated marital and family law case, including child and parenting issues. Jay and his team managed my case in such a way of strategy and legal technique that the results are evident by way of this posting. Jay Schwartz is at the top of his field, the premiere f...amily law attorney to help and advise you through a family crisis. I can attest to hearing opposing attorneys in trial complement his preparation and litigation skills. Jay works discovery and investigation better than I have seen elsewhere, two things that will make the difference. Lastly, and after reading other internet reviews above, let me share that his ethics, morals, and values of children and families impressed me so much that it really hit home that I have found an advisor and friend that I will carry through my life, and if the time comes that my family needs help I will depend on Jay and his team.
