Let me start by saying that unfortunately I was divorced once before. My experience with my first attorney was disappointing. I found myself going through a very sad and difficult time in my life of a second divorce. I was referred to Mr. Wasserman through a good friend of mine that runs a large personal injury law firm. From the very beginning my experience was like night and day. Jeffrey and Deborah were extremely professional and compassionate. I cannot tell you how detail oriented and prompt they were in every step of the way. He was also able to refer me to another great attorney for a different matter that affected my divorce process. Mr. Wasserman was very patient while I resolved those issues that obviously delayed my divorce process. I always got an immediate response to any questions or concerns. In the end my husband and I are trying to reconcile and work on our marriage and stopped the divorce. Again Jeff had very kind words to say and gave me more great legal advise. If I find myself in the unfortunate situation to start the divorce process again I can assure you, without hesitation I will be calling Mr. Jeffrey Wasserman again!!!

I retained Attorney Wasserman's legal services to handle my appeal to the Appellate Court and legal contempt motions. Attorney Wasserman is extremely patient taking time to explain all my legal options and possible outcomes. He maintains timely communication with updates on the status of my legal case; I always know what is going on. I would retain Attorney Wasserman for future legal matters. Everyone at the firm is friendly, courteous and extremely professional.

I hired him for my divorce. He came recommended and I can understand why. He explains the procedure, what to expect and all the details. I was very satisfied with him and his performance. And his helper, Deborah, is very qualified and personable. They made an unpleasant experience, a divorce, happen in the least hurtful way for me.

Jeff represented me in my divorce 5 years ago. He made a terrible process and situation as easy as humanly possible. Jeff was incredibly fair and at no time did I ever feel that he was taking advantage or looking to create unnecessary bills. He understood my situation and did his best to get the divorce done as quick as possible. Since my divorce, I have had to contract Jeff a handful of times to get advice on unexpected things. He was always readily available and gave me the advice that I needed. I highly recommend Jeff's services for anyone in need of a divorce attorney. He has his clients best interests in mind.

Jeffrey Wassermann and his staff are fantastic! They are honest and personable, and quick in handling all matters, from responding to emails and calls to drafting documents and sending updates during the process. I thought I was in a hopeless situation when I first came to Mr. Wasserman to seek his counsel. I had already consulted with other well-reviewed attorneys who mostly predicted the same negative outcome. Within an hour of reviewing my case, Mr. Wasserman had a much more positive outlook on my circumstance. Only a few billable hours later, the case was resolved with the best possible outcome for me. I am absolutely convinced that no other attorney could have handled this case better than Mr. Wasserman.

Jeff was very responsive to my calls, keeping me advised as to the status of my case. Jeff handled my trial as an experienced and respected trial attorny. The results obtained was the Judged awarded my ex wife less then what I had previously offered her and this was due to Jeff's hard work.

I originally hired Jeffrey Wasserman to represent me in my divorce and hired him to defend a post judgment modification. Jeffrey is a a knowledgeable family attorney who is committed to his profession and to his clients. He knows when to practice with a heavy hand and filed the appropriate motions of contempt and when to back off and communicate with opposing counsel to reach an agreement. I consider Jeffrey a sharp attorney who is also a true mentch- hard to find. I highly recommend Jeffrey as a family attorney.
