About
My firm’s approach is client-centered. I strongly believe each person or family has its own needs and therefore deserves an individualized strategy. Because I have a strong background in litigation as well as negotiated and mediated divorce agreements, I am uniquely qualified to tailor a strategy that works best for you. I have spent my career specializing in matrimonial and family law and have reached many advantageous settlements on behalf of my clients. During every phase of your case your opinion is paramount in planning our legal strategy.When you are facing a transformation in your family such as divorce the choices on how to proceed can be overwhelming. Friends, family, and the internet provide much information, which can be difficult to process. For some, a mediated divorce is appropriate while others prefer an attorney to negotiate a settlement on their behalf. During a complimentary 15-minute assessment call I will personally explain your options and guide you toward a decision that is right for you and your family.I was an attorney in the Matrimonial and Family Law Unit at the New York Legal Assistance Group (NYLAG) from 2006 through 2011 where I practiced predominantly in the area of matrimonial law. At NYLAG I represented clients in complex custody and visitation cases and successfully litigated custody cases with a decision in favor of my client. I also represented clients in cases involving the distribution of marital property, spousal support (maintenance) and child support. While at NYLAG I supervised newly admitted attorneys, pro bono attorneys and law students in all aspects of matrimonial cases. I have taught multiple continuing legal educations programs directed at pro bono attorneys and newly admitted attorneys in contested and uncontested divorce proceedings.Prior to working at NYLAG, I was a summer associate (2003-2004) and then an associate (2004-2006) at the law firm of Kupferman and Kupferman where I represented clients in divorce proceedings.I graduated from New York Law School in 2004 where I was named to the Dean’s List and received the Chief Justice Bird Award for Public Service. I earned a degree in Russian language from Bryn Mawr College in 1996 and I am fluent in Russian. I have been a member of the New York State Bar since 2005. I am certified in Family and Divorce Mediation by the New York Center for Interpersonal Development and I am a member of the New York Women’s Bar Association and the Family and Divorce Mediation Council of Greater New York.

Kirsten was incredibly thoughtful, thorough and kind in assisting with my divorce over 2019-2020. She was very efficient and mindful of my time and cost. I highly recommend her services!
Kirsten made the prenup process as painless as possible. I spoke with her on a number of big issues, and she guided me through it with ease. She is very experienced as well as a generally a warm and empathetic human being. I highly recommend her for anyone considering going through the prenuptial process.
In early 2019 Kirsten put her heart and soul into my divorce proceedings and displayed a deep knowledge of the law. I was referred to her by another attorney and I'm eternally grateful that she took my case. She advised me with empathy, patience and wisdom and it has all paid off in the long run for all parties involved (including and especially our daughters). It's not about winning or losing but rather acceptance, respect and compromise; Kirsten's experience is invaluable to anyone facing some challenging moments. I can't recommend her highly enough to navigate any marriage/divorce, mediation and child custody situations and I am so thankful she came into my life during a difficult period.
Ms Brodsky was very helpful and provided clear and accurate legal advise. She also was helpful with referrals. I was very satisfied with the agreement she drafted.
I was lucky enough to find Kirsten Brodsky to step in and work on my divorce and custody case after disappointment with my first attorney. Throughout a difficult trial (with a good outcome), I relied on Kirsten to fiercely advocate for my child and myself, and she always came through. Not only did she have the knowledge to advance our case, but she understood how hard the process was for my family and gave valuable advice. Kirsten prepared before very court appearance and also prepared me so that I knew what to expect in court. I will always be grateful to Kirsten Brodsky for her diligence and understanding at a most difficult time and recommend her to anyone in need of family law representation. Thank you.
I searched online and didn't want to spend big bucks to the big law firm layers, just want to find a neighborhood lawyer who can help me on my prenup. I also did ask around for recommendations, but I am very glad I found Kirsten on my own. She is honest and always clear and up front with things might happen. Her fee is very reasonable and never making unnecessary work hour just to make more money, she does what she says. No surprised bills ever. She is always available for you and gets back to you right away. I highly recommend her and appreciate what she did for me. Now we are happily married and thank you Kirsten!
Every situation is unique - this was an especially difficult case because the financials were difficult and my ex husbands was pretty aggressive and mean. Kirsten kept the process moving and came up with good strategies to overcome a difficult financial situation. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a legal partner to get a divorce done in a collaborative manner - she makes you see both sides so you can come up with a winning strategy.
I have interviewed several family lawyers in NYC and Westchester County, NY, and was referred by a lawyer in NYC to Kirsten Karen Brodsky. After I explained Kirsten Karen Brodsky my current situation and legal challenges, Kirsten Karen Brodsky immediately provide me with some local legal resources and pointed me to the right direction. She is client centered and care first about her client's interest and well being, unlike some of other family lawyers who just care about money and the possible lien put on client's house. I am so leased finally find an ethical, effective and caring lawyer who cares about my legal and financial well being.
Kirsten Brodsky was a pleasure to have represent me. She worked diligently and paid attention to details. She was always available by phone and gave good advice. I would definitely recommend her.
I approached Mrs. Brodsky for a consultation regarding an existing yet dated child custody and visitation agreement. She was timely and accessible with all my questions and concerns. She was through with her responses weighing all sides. She had a strong grasp of the law and how judges side: in the best interest of the children. She helped me organize my case and provided supportive material. I wouldn't hesitate in using her services going forward should the need arise.
