What can a divorce and family law attorney do for me?

At Jeffrey S. Schecter & Associates, P.C., our attorneys represent high net worth clients and others who are facing complicated issues in a divorce, as well as in post-divorce matters throughout Long Island, the City of New York and Westchester County. We also handle a variety of family law matters that are not necessarily part of a divorce. Whether your case involves spousal support, child support or child custody and parenting time disputes, we will stand by your side to ensure that your rights are protected and the best interests of your children are safeguarded. If you and your spouse have a significant amount of marital assets and/or debt, we will perform a thorough evaluation of your case and ensure that all marital assets and marital debt are equitably distributed between you and your spouse.

In any divorce, the issues a couple will have to deal with may cause substantial emotional stress and anxiety for all involved. When a divorce involves substantial assets ‑ including business interests, real estate, valuable investments, insurance policies or trusts ‑ it can carry added stress. It is essential to have high‑quality legal representation by your side to handle the various aspects of your case, including equitable distribution of assets and debts, and the determination of child custody, spousal support, and child support. Our attorneys will provide you with excellent legal guidance throughout each step of your case. Our attention to detail and aggressive methods will ensure that all considerations are assessed and handled appropriately, whether it be in court or through the negotiation and execution of a marital agreement.

  • “I understand how much your establishment has done for me.”
    I wanted to sincerely express my gratitude and thanks to you and Joey. I cannot tell you how much this has meant to my family and me. In the very beginning I was so scared and wasn’t sure how things were going to play out. Joey is very special, she went over and beyond assisting to my needs and continues still. I understand how much your establishment has done for me. Thanks, Jeffrey and Joey.

    Thank you for being so kind and understanding over the past few years while Joey handled my divorce. I appreciate all you and Joey have done for me, as a matter of fact, Joey has been and always will be my “My Rock”! She has an extraordinary handle on me, she has kept me grounded, sane, professional, informed, educated and taught me the importance to handle the marital conflicts with the utmost maturity, and kept me out of trouble with any frivolous charges my ex may have tried to put me in. I owe it all to Joey!!! Without her in my world, I am not sure where I would be today. I do know I am in a much better world because of her!!!
