Hiring a New York City Child Custody Attorney

Thank you, Brian D. Perskin & Associates P.C. From my first message to Mr. Brian, it was on a holiday weekend. At the time, if I can recall, he was away on vacation. He was incredibly responsive and provided clarity where I had previously felt lost. For days I was emailing and asking questions. He responded to them all. Even before I signed any retainer. Most lawyers, you may be lucky to get them answered one call or email before telling you to come to their office or sign a retainer first. After enduring a difficult misleading. Misrepresentation. Drawn-out divorce and child custody battle with two previous law firms, I needed real support. The first lawyer deceived me, and the second left me confused, hopeless after three years of no progress. I need a change! Mr. Brian Perskin explanations transformed my experience, allowing me to sleep soundly at night. When I finally met him and Samantha Hunt at their office, I felt confident in my legal team. They made the entire process fast and efficient, preparing me for trial in just a few months. On trial day, I was anxious, but when Brian and Samantha arrived, it felt like I had a strong defense team beside me. In just hours, before the trial, Brian secured a favorable settlement and dismissed all the false allegations against me. That was scheduled in another court. Even though they had prepared me well for the trial. I wish I had found Brian sooner! I received almost everything I requested, despite my previous lawyers’ many shortcomings. Brian is an outstanding divorce and child custody lawyer, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Going through a divorce is challenging, but having Brian by my side made all the difference. He was professional, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns, explained my rights, and developed a strategy that prioritized my well-being. Communication was excellent throughout; I always felt informed and supported. Samantha Hunt was excellent throughout this process. Brian remained calm and strategic during difficult negotiations, fighting for my best interests while keeping things amicable. Thanks to him, I secured a fair settlement and regained my confidence. If you need a dedicated lawyer who genuinely cares, I highly recommend Brian D. Perskin & Associates P.C. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate during such a tough time

Brian was extremely helpful in providing legal advice regarding our custody case. He is easy to follow, and straight to the point. Very gracious and empathetic in answering all our questions! Will definitely retain this firm when the time comes.

As anyone who has gone through a divorce can tell you it’s a very difficult process filled with worry and anxiety related to child custody, finances and broken relationships. It’s vitally important to have the best legal representation possible and I’m grateful that Evan Sekular was there to protect my interests and negotiate a fair agreement. My primary concern was 50/50 custody of my two boys and Evan never wavered or considered accepting anything less. Evan took the time to explain every issue and I was able to understand my legal position throughout the whole process. Due to his vast experience Evan was able to remain resolute during negotiations and often pointed out when certain demands were just “posturing” by my wife’s attorney and that there was no need for concern. As I said divorce is difficult and Evan not only provided fantastic legal advice but his personable and affable demeanor were so welcome and reassuring each time we met at court or in the office.I can not recommend Evan Sekular more highly and I am grateful for his service and his friendship.Sincerely,Don Kenna

You won’t be disppointed.

Somebody once gave me this advice: If you’re going to get married, don’t get divorced. But if you’re going to get divorced, don’t get divorced in New York.It wouldn’t be long before I found out how true that advice was. My ex-wife filed for divorce in September of 2011, and the horrible experience began. Divorce in New York is a nightmare of exasperating laws, clogged courts, and overworked judges. Finding an excellent lawyer is imperative. Unfortunately, I started with a divorce attorney who left a great deal to be desired, and led me down many wrong paths. We were offering too much in settlement discussions, and she wasn’t getting much of the necessary paperwork done. In exasperation, I fired her and tried vainly to represent myself for about a week.And then I came to my senses and hired Brian Perskin. Definitely the best decision I made during the whole process. Before hiring his firm, I was overwhelmed with the work the case required and the anxiety it was producing. But after talking to Brian, getting his take on the case and being reassured by his complete understanding of New York State Divorce Law, I knew I was going to be taken care of. Brian and his associate Evan Seckular immediately took control of my case, filed all the paperwork that needed to be filed, cleaned up the terrible legal mess my previous attorney and I had created, and put me on track for what would be a settlement that was very strongly in my favor; most important, he mounted a vigorous case that resulted in my winning primary custody of my two children. Not only that, but he was able to convince our judge to order my ex-wife to pay some of the court proceedings, which was unexpected since I was considered the “moneyed” spouse, and under New York State law, the “moneyed” spouse virtually always pays. Brian and Evan persuasively argued for the exception.Their ability to do so wasn’t a surprise. When you sit through divorce proceedings, you soon find out that some attorneys are respected by the judge, and some are not. It was very clear that both Brian and Evan were well liked and highly respected by the judge assigned to our case, a testimony to the reputation they have crafted in the New York Supreme Court. But perhaps the best testimony to Brian Perskin and Evan Seckular’s reputation and skills comes neither from me nor from the admiration of the judge: on the day I arrived for my first court date represented by Brian, my children’s attorney and, believe it or not, my ex-wife’s attorney both came up to me and told me I had made a very wise decision.They were absolutely right. Brian Perskin and Evan Seckular were brilliant, and have my unwavering gratitude. I can now put a miserable chapter in my life behind me, and I was able to do so much more to my advantage and much more quickly than I would have been able to do without their representation. I can’t recommend them strongly enough.
