She was able to resolve my case with both ease and empathy. Her ability to take care of others is well appreciated, as she deserves the roses that her practice carries. I am immensely grateful as she made the filing process as understandable and doable as possible. As a young individual who has filed for divorce, I want to personally say thank you for helping me reach the next chapter of my life by helping me close the past and opening new doors for me to continue with my life. Thank you for your efficiency and kindness. Closing this chapter in my life is so meaningful, and I couldn't ask for a better team to help me out with this process.

Cheryl was kind enough to remain in my budget while still treating my case with utmost importance, a luxury most legal representatives do not provide. Not only did Cheryl take the time to explain every step of the process in great detail, she treated me as a person. Most representatives will simply look at a case as another stack of papers which can be disheartening, especially when you are going through a troublesome legal ordeal. I am very lucky to have met Cheryl and I would certainly return to her in the future.

I contacted Helene for a consult on my divorce mediation. When she called me back, she came across…read moreas rude. I explained I was looking for the consult plus a review attorney, which she said was smart. Like every lawyer I speak with, I asked her about her caseload to determine if she could commit the amount of time I needed for my case. Her reply, "Why would I tell you that, I don't even know you." She can't even have a civil conversation with a prospective client, so that closed the door for me. I thanked her for her time and said I'll contact her if I want to schedule a time. As I also found out, she does not take feedback well. She tried to have my review on Avvo removed. So I'm putting it here. And the review continues to live on that website. The site managers found no problem with the review.

Helene Bernstein has been my attorney for the past two and a half years on multiple court cases in…read moreBrooklyn family court. I give the highest recommendation possible for the work she has done for me as well as her demeanor and professionalism. Helene has the unique ability to be paradoxically empathetic and understanding and yet commanding and resolute when needed; I believe these are the personality traits that make for the best of attorneys. What initially drew me to Ms. Bernstein's practice and proved to be true over the years was that she also works as a mediator and looks to resolve contention rather than to win conflicts. In the long run, this proved extremely worthy as well as valiant and likely contributed to her winning my case for me. Our conversations were always about what is just and fair and most importantly, what was in the best interest of my children. Helene is well organized, communicative, thoughtful, open-minded, reliable and is an extremely hard worker. She took great care in my case, with meticulous notes that she always shared with me. Ms. Bernstein prepared myself and the other witnesses properly when we had to testify and always patiently clarified legal procedures for me and advised me well, even when it was not in her own financial best interest. She was also completely upfront and open about both her fees as well as other legal costs that would impact my case. I am so glad that Ms. Bernstein has been my attorney and sincerely give her the highest rating of endorsement possible.

She told me the hard truths right from the start. There was no sugarcoating, no false promises. She's a total straight shooter, and in a situation like this, that's exactly what I needed. It wasn't always what I wanted to hear, but it helped me make real decisions instead of living in denial. She takes the initiative without me having to chase her down or beg for updates. She's always two steps ahead, thinking about what needs to happen next. Super involved, very personal, like she actually cares about how this affects me and my life, not just another file on her desk. She got me remote court appearances when I really needed that flexibility, which made a huge difference with my schedule and stress level. And the communication? Unreal. Emails at all hours; early morning, late night, weekends. She was always prompt with her responses and never left me hanging wondering what was going on. If you want someone who will fight for you, keep it real, and actually be there when you need them, she's the one. Highly recommend.

I was served divorce papers and saw that I needed a person who is genuine and actually knows what to do for the benefit of a family. I spent a lot of time going through superlawyers, reading profiles, and AVVO and then I came across Debbie's bio. I was panicked, but when I spoke to her I knew I had found the right person, someone trustworthy and who could understand, so I retained her on the spot. In what seemed to be only a few hours, immediately my life began to change again, but now instead of more losses, the positives began to show up. She was able to secure overnights with my young children that I had missed for months! She was even able to help me graciously handle the other firm and thanks to that I was able to receive a refund (I'm told this does not happen often). The contentious divorce matters are still pending and Im certain they will work out, happy to update this review at a later time. Debbie has been able to provide a solid framework and plan for this divorce action, and has given me more certainty to move quickly and start new. Debbie has great instincts for communication and understanding and this is what you need when asking someone to fight for your rights on your behalf. I will and do recommend the services she and her team provide to anyone who's feeling angry, betrayed, lost, stuck, or even hopeless. You will come to see, "you're going to make it." It's always been about the client and their family.

As I sign my divorce papers, I am taking the time to recommend this firm. Richard Beckerman has brought my exhusband and I through a negotiation process that has avoided expensive litigation and has kept the parting of the ways cordial. He was able to communicate well with my husband's attorney, who was also polite (we were lucky there). I did not want a divorce. But I found myself in the midst of a grey divorce. With no choice, I chose to go to Beckerman and Granados after one phone call to Mr. Beckerman. He has a street-smart awareness of what the courts will grant you, and he knows the courts and the business very well. I won't say it was an easy process and often I felt frustrated but all in all, I feel that he was able to negotiate and advocate for me and he got me the best possible scenario. For a grey divorce and the fears involved, he kept me secure financially for my future. Highly recommended!
