Super Lawyers, 2024 - 2026 · Super Lawyers Rising Stars 2017 - 2023Our Client-Focused Approach
Direct Attorney Access: At most large firms, clients are passed between junior associates, paralegals, and administrative staff, often struggling to get answers when they need them most. At our firm, you work directly with experienced attorneys who are deeply involved in your case every step of the way.
Tailored Legal Strategies: Larger firms tend to rely on standardized, one-size-fits-all approaches. We recognize that no two family law matters are alike, so we develop customized legal strategies based on the unique details of your case, your goals, and your family’s needs.
Efficient & Responsive Representation: Because we limit the number of cases we take on at any given time, we can be more responsive and proactive. Our clients receive timely updates, direct communication, and quick action—eliminating the long wait times and bureaucracy often found at bigger New York matrimonial law firms.
A Relationship-Based Practice: Unlike larger firms that prioritize volume and billable hours, we focus on building lasting relationships with our clients. We understand that family law matters are deeply personal, and we take the time to listen, support, and guide you through every challenge. We offer compassionate service, appealing to clients who want a top-tier, full-service family law firm.
Cost-Effective, Results-Oriented Advocacy: Large firms often come with higher overhead costs, which are passed on to clients in the form of inflated fees. We operate efficiently leveraging the latest technology, ensuring that our clients receive high-quality representation without unnecessary expenses—delivering value-driven, pragmatic solutions.
Divorce with complex finances Stock options, RSUs, and deferred compensation. A business you started or a practice you own. Co-ops, condos, and investment property. Inheritances and family money you need to keep separate. We build the financial picture first, because that is what decides support and property division. See our Divorce homepage.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements The best and easiest time to settle the hard questions is before there is a dispute. We have drafted or reviewed more than 1,000 agreements, for couples protecting businesses, future earnings, real estate, and family assets. Learn more at our Prenuptial Agreements homepage.
Custody and parenting plans Schedules that work around two careers, travel, and school. Decision-making authority. Relocation within New York or out of state. When parents cannot agree, we are prepared to try the case. You usually only get one chance to get it done right. We will work with you to ensure you have a long term workable parenting plan. Learn more at our Child Custody homepage.

“Our clients are real people with real problems, not just cases. We are here to listen to your story, understand your issue and formulate a plan to help you obtain a fair resolution to your legal situation." - Leon Mindin, Esq.
You work with your attorney, not a relay team. We are a small firm. The lawyer who meets you drafts your papers, negotiates your settlement, and stands up for you in court.
We start with the numbers. Before we recommend a strategy, we map income, compensation, assets, and debts, and identify what is marital and what is separate. Most of the leverage in a New York divorce comes from getting that picture right early.
We plan to settle and prepare to try. Most cases resolve by agreement. The good settlements tend to come when the other side knows you are ready for trial. We prepare every case that way.
Your matter stays private. New York divorce files are sealed from public view by statute. We work to keep disputes out of open court wherever we can, and we handle every client communication with the same discretion.
