Joanne Deborah Ratinoff

I worked with Joanne on a prenuptial agreement. This was my first time dealing with a lawyer so I had no idea what to expect. Joanne was extremely professional, responsive, and easy to work with. She explained the process to me very thoroughly and I truly feel like she had my best interests at heart.... If it weren't for the the opposing counsel's side, the process would have wrapped up within a few weeks due to the quick speed at which Joanne is able to work. I would definitely work with Joanne again on any legal matter related to marriage/divorce, although I certainly hope I won't have to :)

Thank you greatly for the time you spent talking with me on the phone, I truly appreciate it. My spouse and I have made progress figuring out spousal support and splitting our estate since you and I talked. The threat of quitting collaboration and starting litigation opened his eyes. You deserve t...his review because you were very generosity with your time discussing my situation. Even though we didn't work together, I know you are an awesome attorney. Thanks again.

Joanne Ratinoff is a New Yorker-like powerhouse of a lawyer with an unshakable moral compass. She is the divorce lawyer you want on your side. She is deeply honest and empathetic – qualities that are essential in her profession. Joanne guided me through my mediated divorce with a compassionate,... guiding hand. Joanne understands what a difficult and sensitive process divorce is - especially when children are involved. She helps you navigate every step along the way. Her family values and her care and concern for the kids in this process is incredibly admirable.

Joanne has an excellent grasp of Family Law legal issues. She is thoughtful, considerate and direct. My experience with Joanne was that she considered the case holistically, looked at the challenges and opportunities as a sphere and helped chart an effective course using legal knowledge, experience... and common sense. Joanne helped me with child support modification and related issues. Though the case should have been straightforward, the opposing side made things very difficult. Joanne helped me stay focused and unexcited. She has a steady hand on the tiller... I would recommend Joanne highly and if required to do so again, would engage her without hesitation.
