Melissa B Zemsky

I had the privilege of working With Ms. Zemsky during a challenging time in my life (divorce, and custody of my daughters) and I must say, she exceeded all expectations as my attorney. Her dedication, expertise and compassionate approach truly made a significant impact on my experience in achieving p...artial custody of my daughters. She demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism throughout the entire process. From our initial consultation to the final resolution. She consistently exhibited a deep understanding of family law and a commitment to achieve the best possible outcome for her clients. Also she took the time to explain the intricacies of my case, ensuring that I was well-informed and empowered to make informed decisions. Her transparency and honesty created a sense of trust that made the legal proceedings more manageable and made me confident that we would have a great outcome.

First, I want to say that I am not a person that leaves reviews for people, so this one is important to me. After over year of debating divorce a close friend recommended for me to reach out to Melissa. After just a few minutes into the call I knew that she was going to be the person to go through th...is process with. She explained the process to me step by step, while remaining completely honest and open. Throughout the whole divorce process, Melissa would keep me informed and updated every step of the way and quickly responds to emails and phone calls. Once we started proceedings Melissa, fought hard for everything that was important to me and even thing that I wouldn’t have even thought of, but should have. Melissa was extremely knowledge and knew everything that she needed to do to win me the best outcome. Throughout the process Melissa would explain the process from top to bottom and the outlooks for each step based on the law and whether the battle was even worth fighting over. Saving me thousands of dollars in the end. Knowing that she is only one phone call away gives me such peace that I can live my life without fear. Melissa is not just going to be your attorney for you, she has become part of my family. Melissa helped me through one of the toughest moments in my life and I would and will recommend her to anyone. You cannot and will not go wrong with Melissa!

I’ve been working with Melissa for a long time in connection with my ongoing post judgment issues . She is always responsive, professional, supportive and reliable. I trust her implicitly as she always has my kids best interests at heart. I know she truly cares and I can depend on her to advocate f...or my best interest.

During divorce negotiations a few years ago I felt I was always holding the short end of the stick. My ex-wife's attorney was by far the aggressor, and she sadly seemed to love the division and fighting which was not best for our family. As my income had slid (have my own business) I knew I had to ...renegotiate the unfair terms. My now girlfriend found Melissa after reading positive reviews online in a Facebook chat, and we subsequently met. I explained to Melissa I needed someone who would be very strong and firm, yet reasonable so I could just be done with this mess. I needed her to walk that tightrope. That's exactly what she did! When my ex wife found out I hired Melissa she changed attorneys herself as knew she didn't want to go to war as she'd lose. Melissa worked very hard yet never tried to run up my bill. She was very honest about what we should accomplish, and wasn't scared to tell me if I was ever pushing too hard. In the end we settled on a fair non modifiable consent order and stayed out of court. Melissa brought my monthly alimony from $6,500 down to $4,000! Melissa did an amazing job to get that result. Above all, what I will never forget is that on Father's Day the very 1st text message I received early that morning was from Melissa, wishing me a great fun day and saying she knows how deeply I love my 3 kids. It made my day. I highly recommend Melissa!

My experience with Melissa Zemsky was abysmal and had an extremely negative impact on my divorce negotiations. She told me initially how easy my case was. She spoke negatively of my husband's attorney. She told me how well known her firm is. Then, she got into a high school level argument with my hus...band's attorney over absolutely nothing related to my case which only antagonized. She went dark for long periods of time. She was difficult to get time with. I was always unclear on where we were, what was happening, what should come next. She shared details of other cases with me to let me know how "lucky" I was. She was condescending and dismissive when asked and made me feel like this would wrap up quickly. Well, 7 months later I am still in litigation, however with a new attorney who is a professional and taking my case seriously. Melissa and the firm are highly disorganized and negligent. She received an MSA from my husband's attorney and lost it. She said "lost in a stack of papers." When it was uncovered, she did not immediately address it and apologize. She casually sent it to me in email while I was on the phone with her. When I saw the date and asked absolutely horrified, "Wait, you have had this for over a month?" She sort of apologized. In the gap of that month, she allowed me to waste time and money due to her error crafting a response to an earlier document that had since been revoked by my husband. She lost an MSA that was critically important to my case and its progression. She also claims to never have received a letter from my husband's attorney that was sent to her 2 days after we sent our response to his revoked offer. I have a copy of that letter now. I'm not sure in any way how it's possible she did not receive it. In fact it's not possible. She either lost that too, or saw it and didn't share with me to cover her first lost MSA. It blows my mind. Melissa's negligence led to significant frustration on my husband's side and put me very much on the defense. She is unprofessional, irresponsible, and extremely difficult to work with.
