Divorce, even under amicable -ish terms is painful. Fluctuating emotions and unsolicited advice from family and friends can make even the most rational and clear headed think they are losing their mind. Jim was a no nonsense voice of reason during my divorce process. He acted as a consultant on a regular basis throughout my mediation proceedings. In retrospect, the only reason mediation worked was because of Jim's continued presence. Jim fielded phone calls and emails. His advice and recommended direction were always spot on. You often hear about divorce lawyers 'going for the jugular'. In my case Jim knew how important it was for me to keep the peace while still getting what was fair and equitable after a long marriage. When I was uncomfortable and out of my realm of knowledge Jim made sure to use his extensive expertise and strongly push for terms on my behalf. Consistently assisting me in making difficult decisions and prioritizing both my and my children's needs both presently and in the future. The light at the end of the proverbial tunnel is glorious and I'm so thankful that Jim was able to help me get there . Have a chat with him and you'll feel like you're in the best of hands.

I hired Mr. Sexton while going through a rather unpleasant custody dispute with my ex husband. It was a stressful and scary time for me, but I found solace in Jim. He was able to not only bring my situation to a satisfactory resolution, but he was able to calm my fears and keep me sane along the way. Jim is warm and reassuring, he is quick to respond to calls and emails, never leaving me to wonder about my case, and above all else he is incredibly knowledgeable and amazing at what he does. Jim Sexton is exactly who you want in your corner and I can’t thank him enough.

James lived up to his stellar reputation. Divorce lawyers get a bad rep but I felt very supported. He drafted an excellent pre-nuptial agreement that left all parties concerned feeling protected and supported. I'm happy to add my voice to all the other enthusiastic reviews!

I give the highest praise possible to James Sexton. He is a fantastic lawyer dedicated to his clients and his craft. James consistently went above and beyond. He is straight forward, reassuring and treats every situation with a calm focused demeanor. He can be warm and reassuring but, if or when he needs to be, can be defend you like a prize fighting pit bull. He knows the business like the back of his hand and handles each situation with precision strategy and skill. He pulled me through the hardest thing I had ever experienced. James' attention to detail, positive attitude and availability contributed the happier life I am living now.

I must say, the quantity of attorney's in my area is plentiful but the quality of them are scares. I was in an unbearable battle of a relocation case for over a year. Most know, that a relocation case has a beacon of hope and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. However, Jim and his team did just that.... He accomplished the impossible. He is honest, trustworthy, intelligent, great personality, and very straight forward. In unvarnished truth he will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. He worked with me financially, and made me feel I was the only client he had. He would respond to text/emails within minutes to an hour, never seemed bothered and always willing to listen to what I had to say. Words could not describe how grateful I am to Jim. I may not have been the "most profitable client" due to my financial situation but I will confidently say this.... I am your "most grateful client."

Jim Sexton was referred to me by another attorney, outside the County, who has worked with him a great many years and she HIGHLY recommends him. She was spot on with everything she shared with me about Mr. Sexton's experience with high conflict, complicated divorce actions. He has a very strong financial background and thinks fast on his feet. My first impression of him was extremely positive, He is an outstanding communicator. He responded to my initial outreach to him within minutes of me reaching out to him. His communications were thoughtful and chock full of excellent advice. It was immediately clear that he is an absolute professional that cares about his clients and is very committed to and passionate about his work. I highly recommend Jim Sexton.

I hired James and his firm for my contentious divorce and custody matter. As an executive I've dealt with my share of lawyers and was no stranger to the problems with trusting sensitive matters to someone billing you by the hour. With a relatively high net worth and diverse asset profile I knew I had to be careful in selecting my lawyer as many would "see me coming" and "cash in" on the challenges I was facing. I'm so thankful I found Jim - who always seemed to put my interests first and not the billable hour. His office is high tech and makes a point of using technology to provide fast responses and access to your attorney when you need it. Weekends. Nights. Jim was always a phone call away and made me feel protected 24/7. When it was time for trial (my ex and her attorney wouldn't agree to any reasonable settlement) Jim was incredible in the Courtroom and had a presence and knowledge of procedure and evidence that could only be described as masterful. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking smart, ethical and talented counsel for a divorce or custody matter. He's the guy you want on your side. My case is over now (we settled very favorably for me after 3 days of trial - shortly after Jim cross examined my now ex-wife and made her fold on the stand) but I know I've made a friend and trusted advisor for life. Thanks Jim!

When I retained Jim to facilitate my (rather hostile) divorce and custody case, I was immediately impressed with the calm knowledge of a veteran attorney. Jim's ability to offer sound, candid and unbiased coaching through the stormy divorce process was the singular reason I could be a newly single mother, newly employed after five years out of the workforce, newly responsible for paying all my bills, and able to maintain my sanity. I have often referred to him as a hero with no cape. I have never had to wait more than a half day for a response, he is hyper-efficient in communicating with opposing counsel, he has the answer faster than you can think the questions. He has insight beyond what you pay for in attorney fees. He is polished, bringing with him confidence and calm that is contagious. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is the Prada suit of matrimonial law.

My girlfriend's divorce was not final yet and unfortunately New York has an archaic presumption of legitimacy that meant as a new father they told me at the hospital I could not be listed on my son's birth certificate. I was devastated. I contacted James the next day. Not only did he calm my fears, he even made me laugh during the initial consultation. The family court process was onerous and confusing. James and one of his associates helped us navigate through it relatively painlessly. There are only a handful of times in my life I can remember being as happy as when the judge declared I was the father and provided us with a court order to that fact. Both James and his associate were great through the whole process, very reassuring, and always there with almost immediate responses whenever I emailed with questions no matter when I contacted them. Hopefully I never ever need a family law attorney again, but if I do James is my guy.

James did a fantastic job calming my fears about what the future held. He was compassionate and understanding explaining and re-ezplaining the process. He is as much a champion as he is an excellent lawyer and some how he finds a way to make you laugh through tears at the absurdity of it all. He is the lawyer the rest are hesitant to sit across from. If you want a lawyer that works tirelessly and strikes fear he's your man.
