I have known Neil Cahn for over 10 years. He represented me in my own matrimonial case, and did a great job helping everyone I referred to his practice. Having consulted for NYS Court System for over 15 years made me aware of many issues one faces whilst dealing with the Law, especially here, in Nassau County. There are only a few attorneys that I trust and respect. Neil Cahn is on the top of the list. His encyclopedic knowledge of the Family Law, amazing memory, attention to details, pleasant demeanor, and ability to do an excelent job representing all kinds of clients are outstanding.

From our first meeting, I knew that Neil was the right attorney for me. Throughout the process, Neil was there to guide me with his expertise and humor. Neil is an extremely patient, knowledgeable and professional attorney. He knows the system inside and out. He can anticipate what the "other side" will say and do, as well as how the judge will react to an issue. When an emergency arose, Neil made himself available. He always knew what to say to restore my hope and to keep me focused throughout the process. My ex and I were able to settle before trial. I was very pleased with the outcome that Neil negotiated. If you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of needing a divorce attorney, I highly recommend Neil Cahn.

I felt it important to let anyone know who might need an attorney to handle their divorce that I highly recommend Neil Cahn. He has been more than fair regarding compensation. But most of all I found him to be extremely professional, have an extensive knowledge in his field, very accessible, a great listener and part counselor, part therapist . He has helped to make the best of a difficult and complicated situation.

Neil Cahn offers guidance, support, and reassurance during a difficult time. He has a great deal of knowledge and is well respected in the courts. I was fortunate to have him represent me in family court. He always looked out for the best interest of my daughter and persevered until a favorable outcome was achieved.

Neil is a first class attorney and human being. Neil was not the first Divorce Attorney i hired, but thank goodness he was the last. He was compassionate to me and my children , and did his utmost to make sure that i finally was awarded my child support payments to care for them. He went above and beyond for me, and always had my back. I would highly recommend Neil in any Divorce case, he is well experienced and well versed with the court system.

I strongly recommend Neil Cahn for any and all matrimonial, custodial and family issues. I went through a rather lengthy, complex and messy divorce. Prior to retaining Neil, I wasted a considerable amount of time, money and emotional health on insignificant issues. I felt like there was no hope or end in sight. Neil changed everything. My x-wife’s legal team had one goal - to accumulate as many billable hours as possible. They generated lengthy motion after useless motion, none of which brought us any closer to our divorce. Each of them however played to my emotion and brought me into the fight. I had facts and documentation on my side. The system however is so broken that I could not win these meaningless fights. Time, coin and tears were wasted. I came to Neil emotionally exhausted and my bank accounts were bare. Although we would ultimately argue over significant financial matters, I was broke. Neil took my case and he was more than fair and understanding of my financial situation. I believe Neil was drawn professionally to my precarious situation and he genuinely wanted to help. Divorce is painful, especially when children are involved. I succumbed to emotion and I was not making the most rational decisions for my children or myself. Neil not only helped me deal with my emotions, but he helped me separate them from the difficult decisions ahead. Rational thought prevailed. He immediately changed the direction of my case. We were no longer arguing over minor, secondary matters before a judge. We got right down to issues of custody, decision-making, our marital residence, support and maintenance. My wife and her family were successful in alienating me from my three beautiful daughters. Once daddies’ little girls were turned against me in a vile and vehement way. Neil gave me invaluable advice on how to move forward with my father-daughter relationships. With his help, I have come a long way with my daughters. As for custody, my x-wife would have preferred that I simply vanished from their lives. Neil was successful in getting me more time with my daughters than I expected. For this I am eternally grateful to him!!!!! Neil built a case based on his in-depth understanding of matrimonial law, experience and case law. There were several complex financial issues in my divorce. Neil not only immediately recognized these matters, but he fully understood how opposing counsel would present them in court. I understand that most divorces never make it to trail. Mine was destined to from the start. Neil was a masterful trial attorney. He picked apart the Forensic Accountant’s analysis of my earning potential. It was literally something out of Law and Order. The accountant didn’t know which way to turn on the stand. His “expert” analysis was debunked by Neil in open court. This ultimately brought the other side to the table and we each came to terms with a reasonable settlement. I was on the brink of fatherly and financial disaster. Neil turned my case completely around. I shutter to think of where I would be today without having had Neil at my side. Neil brought resolution to my uncertain situation and calm where there was turmoil. I simply can’t say enough about him. I have personally recommended him to several friends going down this terrible road. You can’t go wrong with Neil on your side!

I retained Neil when my ex-wife took me to Family Court seeking increased maintenance she was not entitled to. His professional handling of the case, which ended with the petition being dismissed, made a daunting process easy, and in the end even my ex-wife had respect for him! I should have retained him for my divorce in the first place! J.W.

Neil Cahn is an outstanding family law attorney. He is very professional, knowledgeable and competent. I found him to be most efficient in negotiating my divorce stipulation. In addition I couldn't ask for a more compassionate attorney. He always had my best interests at heart and was very fair in his fees. I would recommend him highly to anyone who is looking for an attorney who really cares about his clients. He is top in his field as far as I am concerned!

Neil Cahn is an excellent attorney who is able to get complex divorces resolved without having to resort to a scorch-the-earth approach. He was mindful of billing, while also being very accommodating in terms of being available to meet in person or by phone. I would definitely recommend him to others.
