Working with Steven as attorney/mediator during our separation was one of the best decisions I…read morecould have made. From the very beginning, he created a calm, respectful environment where both my husband and I felt heard and understood. His ability to remain neutral while still guiding us toward fair and practical solutions made a difficult process so much more manageable. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the legal aspects of separation agreements, but what truly stood out was his patience and empathy. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answer questions thoroughly, and ensure that we both felt comfortable with each step along the way. Thanks to his professionalism and steady guidance, we were able to reach an agreement that felt balanced and thoughtful without unnecessary conflict. I'm truly grateful for his support and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective mediator during a challenging time.

My spouse and I hired Steve Menack to handle our legal separation after years of putting it off…read more When we were finally ready, we had specific conditions: someone certified in both NY and NJ, someone who could help us navigate complex retirement regulations, and someone we could see virtually for our mediation sessions. In addition to all this, Mr. Menack has been knowledgeable, readily available, impartial, compassionate and professional. We are also impressed with his education and experience, especially his early work training other attorneys to become mediators, and his leadership in various prestigious mediation associations. When it comes time to change our legal separation into a divorce, we will be sure to hire Mr. Menack again, and would confidently refer him to couples looking for a kind, knowledgeable mediator.

If hearts could speak instead of mouths, I'd be able to give you a more thorough explanation as to why Attorney Freeman. But instead, I will do my best to pour it out into words. My case was highly complex with a lot of questionable parts. In addition to the horrifying issues regarding my case, I happen to live out of state. Without hesitation, Attorney Freeman agreed to represent me. She not only communicated with me regarding updates to my case, but also filed my paperwork in a timely manner, and kept my spirits up given my deeply devastating circumstance. Devon, Mary Lynn, and Janae were also very supportive and amazing in so many ways. I couldn't of been blessed with a better team. Devon, I want you to know that my daughter absolutely fell in love with you, and the level of patience you exhibited says a lot about who you are personally, and not just professionally. Thank you!

My experience with Riordan Family Law, and specifically Amy Kriegsman, was profoundly disappointing…read moreand left me with serious concerns about both the quality of representation I received and the firm's overall management of my case. From the outset, I felt that my concerns, instructions, and legal positions were routinely dismissed rather than thoughtfully considered. Far too much time was spent debating my perspective instead of advocating for my interests. I was billed significant amounts for communications that often felt argumentative and unproductive, only to later discover that several positions I was discouraged from pursuing proved successful when I ultimately represented myself. Communication throughout my representation was consistently frustrating. Straightforward questions frequently went unanswered, while email exchanges became unnecessarily prolonged and repetitive. There appeared to be an unwillingness to engage in efficient telephone communication, resulting in delays, confusion, and increased legal fees. Rather than feeling informed and supported, I often felt ignored, challenged, or forced to repeatedly explain matters that should have already been understood. The firm's handling of documents and case materials was equally troubling. I repeatedly provided requested documentation, only to be told later that materials were missing or had not been received, requiring me to resend information multiple times. This created unnecessary work, delays, and expense. Even more alarming, I received documents relating to other clients' matters, which raised serious concerns about the firm's administrative controls, confidentiality practices, and attention to detail. I strongly disagree with any suggestion that I prevented effective representation or delayed the discovery process. In fact, I personally secured and provided substantial discovery materials. Despite this, important information was not always handled appropriately or produced in a timely manner. I was also surprised to receive work product, including a proposal that I had never requested. Once I instructed the firm not to continue working on that proposal, that direction was disregarded. While I made revisions and promptly communicated them, those revisions required minimal effort and did not detract from the larger discovery issues that remained unresolved. Another significant issue involved the proposal to appoint a parent coordinator. I had expressly advised Amy Kriegsman that I was opposed to pursuing a parent coordinator and understood that this was a position being advocated by opposing counsel. Despite my clear instructions, Amy initiated a request for a parent coordinator. This decision created tremendous confusion, required substantial time and effort to clarify and resolve, and generated additional legal expense. More importantly, it directly contradicted my stated wishes and legal strategy. Rather than advancing my objectives, it reinforced my growing concern that key decisions were being made without appropriate regard for my instructions. As the representation continued, my confidence in the firm's ability to effectively represent me steadily deteriorated. I became increasingly concerned about repeated requests for documents that had already been provided, contentious interactions with both attorneys and staff, and communications sent to opposing counsel that contradicted my stated position and interests. Rather than advancing my objectives, I often felt that my case was being managed in a manner inconsistent with my instructions. Ultimately, these concerns led me to direct the firm to stop working on my family law matter. Even after providing that instruction, I continued receiving communications insisting that work needed to proceed immediately and emphasizing deadlines and requirements despite my clear direction to cease representation. Rather than respecting my decision, the response felt dismissive of my instructions and reflective of the same pattern of poor communication and case management that had characterized much of the representation. Even after terminating the relationship, obtaining my file and bringing the matter to a close proved unnecessarily difficult. What should have been a straightforward transition became yet another source of frustration. Family law clients place enormous trust in their attorneys during some of the most difficult periods of their lives. They deserve competent representation, clear communication, respect for their instructions, careful management of their case, and confidence that their attorney is advancing their interests. Unfortunately, that was not my experience with Riordan Family Law or Amy Kriegsman. Looking back, I deeply regret retaining the firm and cannot recommend its services based on my experience.

Amy, I would personally like to thank you for…read morethe assistance, information, and encouragement you offered during this latest ordeal. I am so grateful to the entire Riordan family for the Kindness and concern that was shown to me especially when I was on the verge of giving up. Amy, I will always treasure you and your impeccable service for life. Every time I look at my family, I will think of you with affection and gratitude. Kristina you are the best hands down. I strongly recommend The Riordan Family Law firm for any family concerns. Thank you, JoAnn Somerville

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Laurie regarding a family law lawyer. Her…read morecommunication skills were abysmal, making it incredibly frustrating to get updates on my case. Despite numerous attempts to contact them, I faced consistent roadblocks, and my concerns were often ignored. To make matters worse, the results of her representation were nothing short of horrible. I had expected a certain level of expertise in family law matters, but unfortunately, the outcome was far from satisfactory. Adding to the frustration, I was denied any form of refund despite the lackluster service and poor results. It's disheartening to see such a lack of accountability for subpar performance. As it was agreed upon in the retainer that she would no longer honor. What's even more concerning is that, after expressing my dissatisfaction, I found myself blocked from their contact number as my calls did not go through, my emails went unanswered and messages were undeliverable. This lack of professionalism and refusal to address concerns only added to the overall negative experience. I would strongly advise anyone considering Laurie to proceed with caution and explore alternative options. My experience left much to be desired, and I hope others can make more informed decisions when seeking legal representation in family law matters. I wish I had known earlier that most of their google reviews are misleading and seem to be paid reviews as her serve and experience was nothing like what others had said in their google reviews.
