Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein, LLP Pro

My divorce was devastating but Ian made it palatable during this difficult time. He is a excellent listener and very clear at explaining the process and details of the matter. My only regret is that we never met, so i can look at him in the eyes and shake the hand of this man who made me feel all right!

Ian is a tremendous asset to his firm, but more importantly to his clients (such as me). He returns emails/phone calls in a very fast and (well thought out) manner. He is organized and seems to always have my settlement agreement at his fingertips. More importantly is his incredible grasp of family law. I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for an all-star lawyer.

I am so glad I hired Ian to handle my case. From start to finish he was responsive, compassionate, and reliable. While this was a very difficult time, I could not have asked for someone better to help me through it.

I would give John Teufel over a million stars! He specializes in Appeal cases, but I strongly recommend his services to anyone with family-related issues. My ex-husband commenced multiple actions at various courts and jurisdictions - we had about seventeen cases. Nine attorneys represented me on different matters between 2016 and 2023, and I won every case that was decided, meaning that I have had great attorneys. However, John is the only attorney I can call a genuine and flawless attorney. John Teufel stands out because he never appeared to prolong issues unnecessarily. Instead, he did the most for me in the shortest possible period, saving me money, time, and stress. John, a king amidst great attorneys! Truly knowledgeable, very cooperative, skilled, competent, trustworthy, extremely brilliant, experienced, precise, and always timely. John had only one interest in his mind, his client's interest. John won my case in record time, and I would hire him as often as needed.

Jacqueline Newman has been my attorney at a very difficult time in my life and that of my family. She not only provided extremely knowledgeable and sound legal advice, she was compassionate and caring through all of the difficulties we faced. She was available even during off-work hours many times when problems arose, and she handled delicate situations with tact and sensitivity. She fought so hard for me and my children, ultimately leading to an extremely positive outcome for us. I highly recommend her to my friends and anyone in need of a dedicated matrimonial attorney.

In our first meeting, Samantha gave me the confidence and the assurance I was looking for in a lawyer. She delivered with laser focus in an efficient yet always compassionate manner. I was impressed by Samantha's command of the law and how she would communicate my options. I always had an advocate in Samantha, who was looking out for my best interests.

Ellen is the kind of advocate who you want on your side and don't want to find yourself up against. She is an exceptionally dedicated, sharp, and tenacious attorney, while also being warm, easy to work with, and ethical. Ellen was relentless in her pursuit of a favorable outcome for me, which she obtained, always making herself available no matter how busy she was, and never shying away from her honest opinion. I found her to be the voice of reason in a very contentious and emotionally charged situation. She has the rare ability to remain calm and unruffled no matter the circumstance, which was a tremendous help in and out of the courtroom. Perhaps what stands out most was her consistently remarkable judgment both in and out of court, which is a less "teachable" but absolutely critical skill that I have found is hard to come by in this field of law.

I’ve worked with John twice and both times he was so responsive, thorough, and all around did an excellent job. I strongly recommend him!

I found myself in a terrible custody battle for my son, where initially my parental rights were attacked, then a motion for full custody. John stood by me, defended me against a very aggressive team of lawyers who used slander, false allegations and tried to undermine my character to sway the judge in their favor. John was sharp on his feet, fast to the draw, and helped me maintain my 50/50 custody when the cards looked stacked against me. I'm very thankful for John Teufel and give my highest recommendation!

John represented me on a very challenging matter that required nearly instant responsiveness and demanded a rigorous understanding of the many options available under the law. He delivered on both counts. John demonstrated an amazing cocktail of strengths: he knows the law thoroughly and creatively figured out ways it could serve my specific situation. He has always demonstrated complete integrity. When he has had to inform me of how the law limits what exactly I wanted to do, he does so politely and sensitively. John has made me feel like he really cared about my case. With him at my side, I never felt alone. He also kept in mind cost and suggested ways I could reduce potential fees and still achieve the desired outcome. I am so beyond grateful for his representation.
