Barbara was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and understanding. She made a very difficult and painful divorce process easier and educated me on my rights and responsibilities. She checked in with me regularly and responded to my questions promptly. Thanks to her expertise, support, and advocacy I was able to finally to end a toxic marriage.

Barbara was my attorney for a divorce case that took over two years to settle. Her advice was always sensible, creative, friendly, and moderate. She helped me end up with a settlement that is much more favorable than it could have been. Very importantly, Barbara does the work herself, unless it is in the client's interest to use someone else for part of the case. This means she is always on top of the details of the case.

I interviewed several lawyers and consulted many more people before I decided on Barbara, and I'm so happy that I did. Barbara is warm, pragmatic, proactive, and attentive—she has this magical ability to make you feel as if you are her only client, even though of course she is much in demand. I especially admire her ability to talk everything through with me, with the utmost clarity and thoughtfulness. She is not a reactive lawyer or thinker; she is always a step ahead. If you have a question, she will provide a clear and ready answer, and she will take the time to walk you through everything if you need it. She is compassionate, but she also has a sense of humor that can be very welcome in stressful, painful times. I feel safe, protected, and supported with her; she has made an unavoidably excruciating and frightening process as frictionless and lucid as possible. I'm deeply grateful to Barbara and would recommend her without reservation.

I was lucky. Barbara was referred to me by a buddy who is a lawyer himself. I feel bad for anyone whos has to seek out an attorney cold turkey. The day I called Barbara she was able to meet me. When going through my case, she was kind but also very realistic. She went through my story and went to work right away. It took 19 months of a legal battle and Barbara never tired. She fought tooth and nail and was the reason I won. I am a single dad, and yes, the proceedings were daunting. However, Barbara was reassuring not only to me on a personal level, but, by seeing how she was handling the opposition, i was professionally put at ease. Barbara prides herself on knowing every little detail and uses them to seek out the truth. I trust her. Behind the scenes, she went to work and dug deep to defend me. I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

Divorce is obviously one of the most unpleasant and difficult experiences anyone can go through. Having a knowledgeable lawyer who can maintain compassion, really made the process easier for me, Barbara was very responsive and prompt in addressing my emails and concerns. She explained all my options to me, yet she was respectful of which path I decided to take. If you are in the unfortunate position of going through divorce, I definitely recommend Barbara.

Barbara provided more than just great legal advice (which ultimately protected me and ensured that I was "safe"). She was there for me when I needed her, including coming with me to an event when I needed in-person support and didn't have any. I couldn't recommend her more!

Barbara Janet Schaffer is an invaluable resource when it comes to protecting my rights in the court room. Her attention to details and knowledge of laws are unsurpassed. Very emphatic and dedicate to the cause. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Barbara Janet Schaffer

I had a difficult divorce with an intractable ex. Ms. Schaffer helped me though every step, with lots of support and patient explanations. Her sense of humor and honest desire to see me come out well and whole were very heartening. I would recommend her unreservedly.

Ms. Schaffer was a great resource in helping to solve a custody change. Our engagement began with Barbara listening to my story, and followed through being responsive, knowledgeable, and pragmatic. Barbara's approach was exactly what I had hoped to find.. high integrity.. a sense of fairness to all sides.. and the utmost priority given to my child. I felt from the first conversation that I wanted to be represented by Barbara and that we would work well together.

Divorce which is Barbara Schaffer’s specialty is never easy. Having said that I am not sure there are enough superlatives to describe Ms. Schaffer. Barbara handled my divorce and child custody cases with such expertise that my exwife refers Barbara to friends. Additionally Barbara unlike many attorneys bills fairly and only for the actual time needed to represent you. I am an actual client of Barbara’s not a personal friend. Richard Brooklyn NY
