I returned from Iraq in July 2008 and found myself in need of a Divorce Attorney. Mr. Weinrieb was initially recommended to me through my employer's famiy assistance plan. I contacted Pieter with my situation and he agreed to take my case. We met and he listened intently as I went through the specifics. He has a natural ability to make you feel at ease and has a keen understanding of these proceedings. Through the months of litigation he was very compassionate to my needs which led to a successful and fair conclusion to my case. Then again in May 2014, I was in need of attorney of Pieter's caliber to handle a family mediation situation. Without hesitation I called Pieter and he took my case. He handled this case with his expertise and professionalism that I had become accustomed to with another successful conclusion. I would highly recommend Pieter in any family type litigations. He's the Best!

Pieter Weinrieb is an excellent lawyer. He handled our custody case over the last 15 months while we fought to get sole custody of our grandson. These cases are never easy but Pieter was amazing. He always seems to know what to say and when to say it. He knows the pitfalls and guided us ever step of the way. He is respectful and always returns calls promptly. We interviewed 5 other lawyers before deciding on Mr. Weinrieb. We absolutely chose the best lawyer. We are so thankful that we put our trust in Pieter or we might very well have had a different outcome. You will find Pieter to be calm, cool, collected and always ready. He does not waste words. He makes his point and keeps it clear and concise. I would recommend Mr. Weinrieb to anyone. He listens to your concerns, explains everything thoroughly, and charts a course of action. The best part is that he is very adaptive. He thinks on his feet and can adjust accordingly. Let's face it court never goes as you think it will, so you need a lawyer that can handle changes, adjust his strategy and be prepared for anything. So much is done behind closed doors so you really need to make sure that your attorney knows what you want and always has your back and always has your best interest at heart. Pieter does that and more. He is simply the best lawyer in Buffalo. Having watched other lawyers talking with their clients while waiting for a case to be called you soon realize that many of them are just going through the motions and have little knowledge about the case and probably have not talked to their client or reviewed the case before walking through the doors. If your case is important do not put it in the hands of someone who really does not care. Pieter cares about his clients and never walks in unprepared. The life of our very young grandson was at stake and never lost sight of that. Thank God we chose Mr. Weinrieb.

I cannot thank Pieter enough for his dedication to obtaining a favorable resolution for me in my divorce. He is consummately professional and thorough and the outcome was definitely in my best interest. Accessible also, returning phone calls and emails in a very timely fashion. He made a very difficult situation easier to deal with.

Upon first meeting with Pieter I knew he was very educated and honest. I felt very at ease that he would provide my family the best representation. One key thing about Pieter is he is very family oriented and centered on doing what’s best for the entire family. Throughout the court process Pieter was firm in respecting my requests as well as very fair in how we handled matters placed in front of us. He is highly respected in the court room and legal community. At every court appearance he was on time and prepared. As mentioned it is rare you’ll find a lawyer whose main goal is to heal families and put the children’s needs first. Pieter helped us rebuild our family while teaching us how to coparent. In the end things went our way. If you are looking for a reliable, honest and family centered attorney Pieter is that. His rates are reasonable and he takes time to talk to you when needed and often sent a text checking on my boys after their first few visits back with their dad, not because he had to but because he was genuinely concerned for the children. He’s top notch and five stars.

After a lengthy divorce (dragged on by other lawyers but swiftly concluded once I switched representation to Mr. Weinrieb), I found myself having to navigate the Family Court system to resolve some outstanding issues with my ex-husband. Although these were minor issues, commonly encountered after a divorce, due to my previous lengthy divorce experience, I found the whole thing very intimidating. Mr. Weinrieb did not disappoint this time either. Not only was he extremely helpful, he was supportive. The outstanding issues were resolved quickly thanks to his assistance. I will always be grateful to him.

I have a complex case involving a separation that occurred in NY and I am a Canadian citizen. Pieter took the time to provide concrete advice to my lawyer and I to ensure we fully understood NY state law. I would definitely recommend him. Not only is he knowledgeable but I felt at ease speaking with him and really heard. Thank you!

Yesterday was a huge whirlwind for me and a massive regrouping as they say. I cannot begin to say how much I appreciate you as a person Mr Weinrieb because most people would not take the time to simply talk like you did with me. That meant the world to both myself and my fiancé. You are an amazing attorney who truly chose their profession for the correct reasons.
