Family Law Firm

Michelle was great to work with, always in communication with me, even when I was traveling across the country with outdated technology. She always had a very pleasant demeanor around me, and forceful when needed to be with opposing counsel. Impressively professional in the courtroom as well as any meetings that we attended with the opposition. She helped tremendously with making sure I kept calm when I sometimes wanted to say or do something detrimental to my case. I can’t think of anything negative about the whole ordeal and would recommend her and the entire Kantrowitz Law Group team to anyone in need of great lawyers. In addition to guiding me through the divorce process, they assisted me in locating real estate counsel for the purchase of property after the divorce. They go above and beyond to help a client during the case and even when case ends to help tie up loose ends.

When I realized that mediation was not going to protect me financially looking forward post-divorce, friends urged me to seek experienced family law counsel and not let the sadness and bewilderment caused by the breakdown of my long marriage cloud the realities that faced me. I began the process of identifying the attorney who would be the best fit for me. I did not want a bloodthirsty shark. Nor did I want someone I felt was not looking out for my interests first and foremost. I wanted an attorney who saw me as a partner in the process, rather than just billable hours. And above all, I wanted someone well-established in her/his career, smart, friendly, and profoundly knowledgeable about divorce law. I interviewed five attorneys, each recommended by someone I knew. I had one particular concern, based on the particular history of my marriage. Elaine Kantrowitz was the only one of the five who immediately understood the issue and was able to discuss potential strategy grounded in her knowledge of precedent and her willingness to listen closely to my view of the issue. That was the deciding factor for me. I can honestly say that throughout the protracted divorce procedure, subsequent motions brought by my ex-husband to change the original financial terms, and all the follow up communication, I felt complete trust in Elaine’s fair and informed handling of each step. She never condescended or dismissed my concerns even when I was at my most emotional and vulnerable. I always felt she and her outstanding team had my back. Elaine is responsive, warm, and empathetic while being a consummate legal professional. I was satisfied with the outcome and able to move on with my life with peace of mind. I would recommend Kantrowitz Law Group to my closest friends.

I commend the entire Kantrowitz Law Group team for their professionalism and effectiveness in guiding me through the divorce process. Navigating the divorce process is complex, and when you layer on the emotional component, it can quickly feel very overwhelming. Elaine, Michelle and Peggy each did their part to keep me focused on what mattered most and were always by my side. They are wholly competent, care greatly about their clients’ wellbeing, and they go the distance to make the entire process as seamless as possible. I wholly recommend the Kantrowitz team, and it pleases me to say that you will be in very good hands.

Elaine and her team helped me through one of the toughest times dealing with a divorce after 30 years of marriage. They totally had my back and Elaine used her incredible knowledge of divorce law to help me understand what I deserved and should fight for. By having someone with that kind of experience guiding me through this. I was able to stay out of court and keep the costs down by sitting at the table with both sides and negotiating a fair agreement. In the beginning it was so overwhelming and upsetting to deal with the financials and the emotions, but her team helped me understand it was all for my benefit. In the end it was .. Elaine found a benefit that could possibly mature .. his side said it was nothing and I agreed .. but Elaine insisted on putting it in the agreement. Now, years later, it is one of the sources of income I will count on for retirement. I went from being afraid I would lose everything when I stopped working to knowing I will be financially OK. Elaine, Michelle, Peggy and their team are on your side and will guide you through. I cannot thank them enough for their support and guidance.

Michelle worked closely with me on a very contentious child support case. We had a very successful outcome as a result of her calm attitude, and thorough, thoughtful preparation. These kinds of cases can be emotional, yet Michelle remained a professional throughout, while explaining the ins and outs of a confusing process to me. I’m deeply grateful for her services and recommend her without reservation.

If anyone is ever looking for an incredible lawyer and team, I would definitely recommend Kantrowitz Law Group. Unfortunately sometimes in life, your plans do not go as you would hope they would and you find yourself in the position of having to find and hire someone to represent your interests when your marriage or child arrangement plans need to be worked out or if what you worked out....doesn't go as planned. I found myself in that position more than several times during my already finalized and agreed upon divorce & child custody arrangements and up until my child had obtained the legal age & finished his college education that the law sets forth in order to terminate the legal obligations. Elaine Kantrowitz and her great team help me though it all. They were always on top of my case and explained every step throughout each process that needed to be done. Elaine and her team were always accessible and there for support during very difficult periods or the process. They were always straight forward, extremely detailed and thorough, persistent when they needed to be, never backing down and always on top of everything right away....when handling my case. Elaine Kantrowitz and her team are nothing short of fabulous and one of the best that I have ever worked with to help resolve so many issues I had to deal with.......but in the end, they helped resolve all the issues my ex spouse and I had...... and were very successful each time in the courts for me, getting fair agreements going forward on a variety of issues and most of all, the rights as a parent I deserved, that I was not getting. If anyone ever finds themselves in this position, as I did, I would highly recommend Elaine Kantrowitz and her great team without any hesitation. They truly are the best and I am forever grateful to have had them all those years to help me through everything. Thanks you always!
