I wish I could give Ms. Finkelstein 6 stars instead of 5, she is that good, dedicated and trustworthy. She treated me with respect and dignity and, most importantly, worked tirelessly to protect the personal and financial security of my children's future. Ms. Finkelstein put her heart and soul into my case. That, along with her considerable legal talents and abilities, is a formidable combination to have in your corner. Run, do not walk, to this attorney.

I have worked with Lois for two years on a very complex custody case. Based on my experiences, what distinguishes Lois is a clear demonstration of how much she truly cares about what she does -- not just the "case" but the lives she touches. She is relentless and impeccable in her execution and is a superb an compelling writer. I have recommended Lois to others and would use her again in a heartbeat.

Lois is a highly experienced, extremely effective, wickedly smart, profoundly determined and compassionate attorney.  I can state without reservation, Lois' devotion to her clients, her knowledge of the law, and fierce drive to unfailingly obtain the most desirable results for her clients, has benefited me and continues to benefit me today.  In fact, her ability to inject brief succinct, but ever so effective, provisions in my settlement agreement continue to impact my life in ways I could never imagine! Lois worked tirelessly for me and her vision and negotiation skills continue to yield me ongoing victories today, as my case continues to present through the court system again and again.   Dealing with the demands of a narcissist ex is a delicate art and Lois masterfully navigated me through a very stressful time in my life! Her professionalism and integrity are top notch and I resoundingly recommend her to anyone who needs the finest legal representation.

Ms. Finkelstein has been consistently astute and patient while navigating me through an incredibly challenging divorce. Her professionalism and ability to work with all the parties involved is paramount. She is attentive, knowledgeable and thorough and has been skillful in keeping negotiations moving in the most positive manner possible - even when I could see no positive way forward. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough.

Lois took over my divorce case halfway, things were going badly and my ex had an unethical divorce lawyer who was taking advantage of the situation, dragging that divorce longer and making things complicated. Lois came on board and immediately took charge! She is organized, dedicated, decisive! She was able to help me settle the case in a favorable outcome. The documents Lois prepared ( separation & parental agreements) have been the guiding light for me and my ex since without any issues. The fact that the agreements are so meticulously written left now room for guessing. lois is the attorney you want on your side of you are going through a divorce! She will have your back like no other!

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful, compassionate and professional Lois Finkelstein is. During one of the most difficult times in my life Lois was incredible. She was always made herself available to me and I know worked tirelessly for me. I would recommend her and her expertise to anyone and everyone. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING LOIS, YOU HAVE BEEN MY GUARDIAN ANGEL!

The Perfect Blend of Professionalism, Effectiveness and Compassion Divorce is never an easy thing to go through. No one goes in to a marriage preparing for a divorce. So, needless to say, it's a confusing and sad time. Lois Finkelstein, my third attorney, was nothing short of the perfect blend of professionalism, effectiveness, and compassion. I only wish I had discovered her first! She was an ear when I needed one, including on weekends! She was very professional in all her communications and processes, keeping me calm in a very high anxiety time in my lifetime. Lois was extremely effective insuring the outcome of my case was one that helped me move on to the next chapter of my life with the least amount of unrest. She helped me regain control of my life and establish generous access to my child. From our first consultation to the eventual close of my case, (these cases seem to never end!) Lois was there with constant updates, advice, and solutions. She is without a doubt, the most responsive attorney I have ever had on my side. A top notch attorney who settled an unsettling time in my life. I highly recommend having Lois Finkelstein in your corner should you find yourself in a position where divorce is the only answer. She is bar non, the very best negotiator I have ever met!

I consulted with Attorney Finkelstein this past week regarding a complex interstate custody matter. I was taken back by how she balanced covering all legal considerations while providing compassion and emphathizing with this situation. Following the consult it was clear that I am on the right path in choosing legal counsel.

There are simply not enough words to describe how incredible Lois is. From the very beginning of our initial consultation I could feel how engaged and invested Lois was in me, my family and helping us make the best decision for our needs. Though we “only” did a post-nup, Lois didn’t treat it like a transaction. She spent time understanding truly what we wanted and why. She provided great guidance and expertise on things we overlooked and even things we didn’t need. Lois made herself available every time we had a question or wanted to discuss anything – big or small. Of course our final document was flawless and completely captured everything we wanted. She is a lawyer who cares deeply about the whole person and is absolutely the person you want advising, counseling and fighting for you.

Lois is extraordinary!!!!! She truly cares for her clients and will go above and beyond what a lawyer is expected to do. I mean that wholeheartedly. She's knowledgeable and will fight for you the entire way. Part of the reason why I made it through much of my ordeal was because of the support she provided me. Without her I wouldn't be standing ( or sitting) long enough to write this.
