I was seeking a modification to my collaborative divorce agreement, and after a failed attempt to come to an agreement through collaborative attorneys (no surprise there), my attorney recommended Ken to represent me. My ex lives in an alternative reality and her attorney was more than happy to promote her views as 'fact', but Ken was always even keeled, supportive and understanding, while also firm with me, directing me to keep my eye on the end goal and leave emotions behind (very difficult to do under the circumstances I was fighting.) I would highly recommend his services for anyone seeking counsel for a divorce.

Ken was recommended to me by a divorcée whose ex-husband he represented in a collaborative divorce. She felt that he had provided more constructive leadership, empathy and down to earth solutions than her own lawyer. My own experience working with Ken supports all of that. He is helped me navigate the entire divorce process and I am still consulting him at each fork of the road.

I needed to amend my separation agreement after 10-years of divorce. The person I used to mediate the divorce recommended Ken to me. He listened to my challenges and concerns. He offered me pragmatic, unemotional advice that was what I needed at that time. I would recommend Ken if you need an attorney who listens, and provides good advice.

My life experience is such that I don’t have any contact with the jurisprudence (or any other aspect of the legal “industry”) of New York state, with the exception of a real estate attorney I used a couple of times over 20 years. Come fall of 2019 I found myself in need of serious legal advice. This time it wasn’t real estate, but rather separation/divorce. Depressing stuff. Early October: Enter Ken Novenstern, whom I contacted over at Fredman,Baken&Novenstern. An initial consultation was set up at the Mt Kisco location, quickly. Without even having an official, legal, open case, Ken and his team were immediately supportive. I was advised by him, face to face, with clarity second to none. He explained to me the subsequent steps in the upcoming legal procedure in the simplest ways possible. It was magnificent help in an insurmountable task. For me (at the time) even mundane daily activities seemed to be an indecipherable puzzle with an ulterior motive on a biblical scale. So, having someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Ken stepping in to save the day was significant relief in an overwhelming situation. MOST IMPORTANTLY, however, every time the legal session was over, I received advice and guidance from him as a concerned human being. I found that to be the most respectable and healing thing. Simply acknowledging. Simply engaging and addressing emotion, once legal business was taken care of. Hats off. A toxic consequence of separation is that everything is emotionally/physically/financially draining, reality is foggy/painful and very few things make sense. Well, the epiphany I had, while I was driving back home after that first consultation, was that I realized THESE are the people I want on my side. I was about to embark on a disgusting, dreadful and undesired journey through destructive waters with powers of unknown magnitude; Ken, Liz and the rest of the team were the solution I needed through it all. For several months after that, every step of the way, their punctuality, patience and professionalism was absolutely irreproachable. My questions? Answered almost immediately. Last minute draft changes? Evaluated and processed promptly without batting an eyelash. Objectiveness? Unlimited. Defending my interests? To the “n”-th degree. Recommending outside resources as additional help? It’s as if it’s part of the contract. Evidently, the impetus of their success is the calibre of their work ethic and the extent of their knowledge derived from their experience. Hire them. I’m no authority in the matter, but I doubt you will regret hiring exceptionalism at its finest. Resolving one of the darkest times in your human condition.

Ken is a very polished and professional attorney. He builds a strategy and keeps everything in line and on time to execute that strategy. He is very calm despite the high emotions that can occur in a divorce. He was great at bringing my case to settlement and was very mindful of my budget constraints. Probably one of the few divorce attorneys that is not just trying to draw out a case to get more money.

Ken was easy to work with and incredibly helpful. He made the entire process as painless as possible.

Ken was excellent. He remained calm and objective during a process that was highly charged and difficult. His style was to be thoughtful and reflective as well as accommodating. He was able to confront the attorneys on the other side but only when it was productive to do so and he avoided unnecessary confrontation, even when provoked. He was also empathetic.

Ken Novenstern (and his team) handled my incredibly challenging and difficult divorce with the utmost professionalism, respect, and efficacy. Unfortunately, my matter stretched out over MANY years, through periods of heavy activity and long periods of inactivity, and with increasingly difficult financial, jurisdictional, and logistical challenges. No matter what was happening - with opposing counsel, with the court, or otherwise - Ken and his team truly had my back. They worked tirelessly on my behalf (and on behalf of my children) to ensure the best possible outcome for everyone. I am completely satisfied with the level and quality of service that I received from Ken and the entire team at Novenstern, Fabriani and Gaudio, and I recommend them without reservation.

I couldn't imagine using any other divorce attorney than Ken Novenstern. His wealth of knowledge of the law and years of litigating are what made me feel comfortable and safe with him right away. I always felt I had the most competent counsel available to me. My divorce was a rollercoaster ride of emotions throughout. I've met few professionals over the years, who are capable of staying even tempered despite intense personality clashes. Everyone who knows Ken will tell you what a rock of Gibraltar of even temper he is. I never saw him break a sweat nor raise his voice no matter how emotional negotiations became. Ken is a fair man and he always looked at the big picture of what was best for my family as a whole. And he is a very personable human being, easy to speak with and easy to connect with right away. He will work tirelessly to achieve what's best for you.

I've worked with Ken over the years on various issues related to my separation, agreement and custody issues. He's compassionate, kind, and knowledgeable It's a very stressful time and it's helpful to have someone whom you can trust to get through the process.
