Working with Cheryl was a pleasure. She made things easy and simple for us, especially during a challenging time. Her communication was prompt and timely along the way. I would highly recommend her services.

I thought I was going to lose everything when I found out my husband was cheating. From our first consultation Cheryl told me everything was going to be okay and she was right. She is like a calming, paid parent that fixed all my problems.

Forever grateful for guiding me through this transition in my life and so, so, so happy on the other side.

I had a great experience working with Cheryl for a prenuptial agreement. She was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. Cheryl took the time to help me understand how marital laws work and create an agreement that was best for me and my future wife

Very attentive. Informative and impartial. Gave factual and unbiased information. Highly recommended.

Cheryl was an absolute pleasure to work with! She is highly knowledgable, responsive and thorough. I was most impressed with how attuned she is on a therapeutic level. Cheryl really gets the dynamics of working through a very emotional, complex situation and she is calming and reassuring and an expert guide to stand alongside you. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Cheryl was very knowledgeable and proactive in helping me be able to file and ultimately solve my divorce. She was also kind when we first met to talk about my situation, which is very relevant considering the emotional charge of a divorce

I would certainly recommend Ms. Stein to anyone finding themselves in need of these services. Her respect and professionalism through a difficult process was much appreciated.

Obviously, divorce is a painful experience all around, but Cheryl brought compassion and clarity during a difficult time. She walked us through the process of mediation effortlessly. Also, with COVID slowing down the process, Cheryl was able to manage expectations with clear communication. I’d recommend her to anyone going through a separation/ divorce.

Hiring Cheryl as my divorce attorney was the best decision I made when I decided to get divorced. She has a talent and skill for handling not only the legalities of the divorce process but also the emotional aspect of it too. Going through a divorce is not easy and Cheryl helped to ease the fears and calm the nerves. She’s very smart and skilled in the divorce process and was very timely in all aspects including communications, filing documents in court, obtaining documents, etc. All questions were answered with ease and the legal jargon was translated. I highly recommend Cheryl if you are feeling confused or scared with this intimidating process. She’ll help ease your fears and guide you through the process. She’ll be with you every step of the way.

Cheryl successfully guided me through a long divorce and I recommend her unconditionally. She was knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome. Just as importantly, throughout the tough process which divorce inevitably is, she was a joy to work with, unfailingly kind, sensitive, and supportive, a true mensch with warmth and humor. In my experience, the best divorce lawyer in NYC.

I’m so glad I found Cheryl. She is that smart, sincere, good lawyer that’s hard to come by nowadays. She gives you her complete attention and really listens to you. She actually resolves things the way you want them done. I’ve dealt with many lawyers and she is a rare breed. Very patient, understanding and will give you the best advice. Not money motivated like most lawyers out there and actually works quickly and efficiently to take care of your issue. I recommend her to all my family and friends!

I would highly recommend Cheryl for her legal services. I used her services in creating a prenuptial agreement in New York. Of all the attorneys I contacted, she was one of the first to respond. Based on my personal surveying, I think her hourly rate was maybe $50-$100 higher than other attorneys in the area that I spoke to (though she ended up discounting my final cost a bit) but I felt she was the most competent and worth it. Along the way, I felt in good hands and that she had a firm grasp of everything. When all was said and done, I felt protected and extremely satisfied with the agreement. I would recommend her if any of my close friends ever needed a similar service.

I have had the pleasure of working with Cheryl, and we have expeditiously worked to get things done and serve our clients well. She is very responsive and thorough- a great attorney to work with.

Cheryl was patient and helpful to me and my spouse as we were figuring out how to move on in our lives. I highly recommended her.

Cheryl is an amazing lawyer who helped me through a difficult divorce. She is very good at what she does and helped explain and guide me through each step of the process. She is easy to communicate with and she drafted all the necessary documents and contracts lightning fast. As a client, I couldn’t have asked for anything more from my lawyer. I highly recommend her.

I highly recommend The Law & Mediation Offices of Cheryl Stein. Cheryl was so helpful and patient in guiding me through the divorce process. She always made herself easily accessible to answer my questions and concerns as quickly as possible.

Cheryl has great attention to detail, and was able to address significant matters that would not have been thought of otherwise.

From the moment I stepped into her office, I felt significant relief from the stress that I had been carrying regarding my divorce which involved my two small children. Cheryl made me feel like she absolutely had my back from the very beginning and was going to make sure that the settlement would be in my and my children’s best interest. She was compassionate, intuitive, and creative with her approaches to the problems I brought her. She always responded to my questions within minutes and with real thoughtfulness.

I am beyond grateful that I found this amazing lawyer for my divorce document review and mediation and am very pleased to say the settlement was changed to a great degree in my favor due to her influence.

Thank you, Cheryl.

Very easy to work with and always available to explain questions in easy terms. I highly recommend her services

Highly recommended family law attorney. Cheryl was timely, accurate and thorough in her advice. She is a true professional.

Cheryl is amazing and I highly recommend her. She is smart, easy to understand and empathetic at the same time. I would have no problem trusting Cheryl with any family law matter.

I have known Cheryl for years now. She knows her stuff and is always on top of her game.

I cannot express my satisfaction with regards to working with Cheryl Stein. Though some may find the prenuptial agreement process daunting, Cheryl did everything in her power to make the experience a positive and pleasurable journey. When I initially spoke with Cheryl about the project, her wit and knowledge impressed me. After meeting with her in person, I had no doubt that I had found the best representation for my cause. Now that the project is complete, I can truly say I could not be happier with our results, our relationship – and everything that comes with! Cheryl worked diligently to achieve agreement from both parties on matters that meant the most to me, explained terminology and law when needed (which was often!), and never once would hang up or end a meeting without knowing I fully understood and felt good about the points addressed. Her pricing is fair and reasonable for the work that she does – especially considering I cannot recall an email going unanswered for more than an hour or two. I can honestly (and gladly) say – I could not have done it without her! Seek Cheryl’s counsel for your needs and I personally assure that you will be happy with your decision. She is simply the best!

I have worked with Cheryl in her capacity as a mediator on several matters. Cheryl has repeatedly helped her clients reach fair, balanced agreements that will serve the parties well going forward.

I have had the pleasure to work with Cheryl on a matrimonial matter. She is patient, efficient, and very knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to refer her divorce and family law clients.

I know Ms. Stein for a number of years, and she is a very knowledgeable and skilled family law attorney I highly recommend her.

I have known Cheryl for some time. She is an INCREDIBLE attorney and even a better person! As someone who has been on the other side, Cheryl is a fearless and zealous advocate…

If you are looking for someone with excellent knowledge of the law, proper sensitivities and understanding during, this is the destination for you.

Cheryl is truly sharp, quick and responsive as well as extremely knowledgeable! She helped me so much in this unpleasant process. she is just top notch!

Cheryl was knowledgeable, patient and fair. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance.

Highly recommended. Cheryl brings deep legal experience, a great common sense approach and ability to keep things moving forward.

Cheryl Stein was the best step I took into resolving my situation on the right path. From the first minute she demonstrated to be highly professional, smart, honest and understanding, she is the best. Good law practice not only consists on rules but also understanding of human behavior, she does that.

Divorce can be a very challenging, confusing, and emotionally draining time for all parties involved and it’s very difficult to get the legal proceedings started when you don’t know the first thing about it. After reaching out to a handful of divorce mediators, Cheryl stood out as the most compassionate, patient, and well informed. Throughout the process, Cheryl worked diligently and with sensitivity to ensure that we understood the proceedings from the moment I reached out through the final stages of the divorce. Cheryl understood that we did not want this to be an unnecessarily lengthy and drawn-out process so she was very flexible with her time, was very responsive in communication, and worked swiftly to draft and process all of our documents—all while staying committed to our end goals. Above all, Cheryl demonstrated patience and understanding in a time when I needed it most. As creatures of habit, it’s very easy for us to become desensitized to certain things after being exposed to it for so long—Cheryl is the complete opposite. For someone who has helped countless couples and families in their similar time of need, Cheryl treated us and our situation with the utmost care. In short, if you are in search of a divorce attorney who is knowledgeable, can appreciate what you are going through, and will work diligently to ensure that both parties are content, contact Cheryl today.

Cheryl Stein is an amazing lawyer. Not only is she extremely professional and knows how to handle difficult situations gracefully and effectively, but she also cares deeply about her clients and always keeps their best interests in mind. I will continue to recommend Cheryl to my friends.

This is a letter of recommendation for Cheryl Stein, who is among the best family law attorneys in this country. I first met Ms. Stein as part of a community listserv where she always presented oral and written arguments that were intelligent, concise, and useful. An attorney can quickly discern brilliance by hearing a person argue and reading what he/she has written, and I could opine, without a doubt, that Ms. Stein’s abilities far exceed that of most. Her knowledge of family law puts her in the top echelon of family law attorneys. Whenever I oppose Ms. Stein, I always gain just a little more respect for her. I highly recommend Cheryl Stein, as a teacher, scholar, and family law attorney.

Cheryl Stein is fantastic! I have known Cheryl since law school many years ago, when we worked together on family law cases and represented clients in court. Her smarts, stellar skills, resourcefulness, leadership, professionalism, very effective communication, honesty, and effectiveness made her quickly accelerate to the top of her legal field. She is well known and respected by colleagues, clients, and competitors for her adeptness. I have referred clients to her, all of whom thanked me profusely for directing them to Cheryl. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney

If you don’t have the proper representation the process of divorce can be messy, especially if your unfamiliar with matrimonial law. Since most people are unfamiliar with matrimonial law it is important to know that the attorney that represents you is honest, knowledgeable and zealous.

I found that matrimonial attorney’s in general look at each case as long term financial plan for their benefit not necessarily looking out for your pocket. These attorneys will avoid giving you all the best and most appropriate legal options available one can take in order to effectively address your case so they can bill you over a long span of time. This is not the case with Cheryl. Like most of us she has to make a living, but she is not looking to milk you dry. Cheryl is a good person with strong moral values. She truly looks out for her clients needs by effectively representing them in a way that will save them time and money in the long term. Cheryl is also methodical and meticulous in her approach and will do whatever it takes to help her clients. Cheryl always responds in a timely manner and if you need her she is always available to talk to about your case.

If you’re lucky to find an attorney such as Cheryl at your first go then consider it a blessing. I had to go through two attorneys to find her. Cheryl came highly recommended and true to the recommendation she lived up to everything. If your contemplating or even going through a divorce do yourself a favor and give Cheryl a call.

Cheryl Stein and I worked together as colleagues, and I have an enormous amount of respect for her. She is conscientious, meticulous, detail-oriented, sharp, quick, very insightful, and highly committed. I cannot recommend her enough.

Cheryl Stein is a fantastic, super sharp, on the ball, and highly effective matrimonial attorney, and I feel comfortable referring my matrimonial cases to her, whether it is a hotly contested litigation case, mediation, collaborative case, uncontested divorce, custody, visitation or support matter. She gets the job done to the client’s utmost satisfaction. Cheryl is client focused and detailed and exercises enormous sensitivity towards her client’s emotional plight while also implementing and executing stellar intellectual, skillful work product and performance

Cheryl Stein is a well-regarded family law attorney and mediator. I regularly refer clients to her knowing that anyone I refer is in great hands. She implements smart, effective, strategic solutions to obtain favorable results for her clients, and is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, client-focused, and diligent.

Cheryl Stein is fantastic and I highly recommend her as a family law attorney and mediator. I refer cases to her knowing that her clients are extremely satisfied, as she is committed to getting them the best possible results. She walks the walk, and does not merely play lip service and talk the talk, like all too many service providers do.

I had the pleasure of working with Cheryl Stein in a divorce action in Manhattan in 2015. She was always professional in her representation of her client, yet she was still approachable. Even though our clients had no children, they still had significant property issues and were very emotional about their relative positions. Cheryl offered reasonable solutions to each issue that enabled both clients to feel they were getting something out of the deal, which is essential in each divorce. Not all attorneys keep the best interests of their clients in the forefront of their minds during divorces, but Cheryl Stein does. I have relocated to Florida, and am so confident in Cheryl’s skills as an attorney that I have referred her several of my NY clients since my move almost a year ago. I would highly recommend Cheryl to anyone who needs any sort of family or divorce assistance.

Ms. Stein is a very professional, knowledgeable and thorough attorney and mediator. She leaves no stone un-turned and is able to provide the necessary assistance to her client or the mediation parties to guide them through the difficult divorce process.

I have sent many client’s to Cheryl and each one has reported back singing her praises. She takes the time to explain each aspect of a case and is extremely reassuring to each client.

Cheryl has a keen ability to distill a situation to a comprehensible level and thoughtfully think about how to frame things so the client’s key priorities are met.

I don’t often write reviews but I would be doing Cheryl and myself a true discredit if I didn’t express my appreciation for her dedication and patience when it came to my case. Cheryl was kind enough to remain in my budget while still treating my case with utmost importance, a luxury most legal representatives do not provide.

Not only did Cheryl take the time to explain every step of the process in great detail, she treated me as a person. Most representatives will simply look at a case as another stack of papers which can be disheartening, especially when you are going through a troublesome legal ordeal. I am very lucky to have met Cheryl and I would certainly return to her in the future.

I went to see Cheryl for legal advice on starting a divorce. She was awesome, I was able to see clearly on what my rights were without letting emotion cloud my judgment. She was kind and listened to all my concerns. My funds are limited so Ms. Stein referred me to another attorney that would better assist me and would work within my budget. I appreciate that she went out of her way to do this for me, it really means a lot. Thankfully I met her colleague who is now helping me with my proceedings. Thank you Cheryl for everything!!!!!

Cheryl successfully guided me through a long divorce and I recommend her unconditionally. She was knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and dedicated to achieving the best outcome. Just as importantly, throughout the tough process which divorce inevitably is, she was a joy to work with, unfailingly kind, sensitive, and supportive, a true mensch with warmth and humor. In my experience, the best divorce lawyer in NYC.

Cheryl helped my long awaited divorce finally come to an end. She was very helpful and easy to talk to. She understood all my needs and helped us settle as fairly as possible.
Thank you Cheryl!

In what can be one of the most difficult times in life going through a divorce, Cheryl’s professionalism and sensitivity was much appreciated. She maintained respect for my decisions while advising me of my rights throughout. She is thorough and timely, and generally just a nice person all around.

I highly recommend Cheryl to anyone needing a good lawyer. Going through a contentious divorce was very stressful but Cheryl was there every step of the way fighting for me and advising me of my options. She is extremely sharp and very good at what she does. Her communication skills are A+.

I don’t speak English perfect but Cheryl was trying to understand for me and working still so hard for me now . I have a some kind problems but she was keep touching me and response is sooner.

Cheryl is a friend and colleague and also one of the nicest people you would be lucky enough to meet. Cheryl and I have worked on the opposite sides of cases together and I have tremendous respect for her.

I found Cheryl’s legal services to be enormously helpful in the family ordeal I was going through. She was able to explain everything that needed to be done to me in a step by step, logical and prudent manner. She was very thoughtful and diligent in her approach. She notices all the small details while always keeping her eye on the ball, which is the bigger picture. She made me feel very comfortable and eased a lot of my concerns. I genuinely felt that she cared about me and my family, wanted what was best for us, and helped me to obtain it. Everything worked out perfectly.
Thank you, Cheryl!

I was seeking advice on how to file for an amicable divorce for my parents who had been living apart for over 10 years. One was very ill and it was important to protect both of their assets in the advent of a catastrophic illness. As my parents lived in NYC and I was almost 200 miles away, finding Cheryl, who was recommended by my local attorney, was a godsend. We were able to handle all of the particulars electronically via email and Cheryl helped us divide up all of the assets in a way that way that was fair to both of my parents. Everything was as smooth as possible except for the archaic court system that exists in New York. It took over 6 months to get an uncontested divorce to be accepted by the court. Obviously not her fault, as she was able to file the papers in Kings County, which had the shortest lead time. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheryl for any matrimonial matters that you may have to deal with.

Cheryl came highly recommended by a close friend and I was pleased to have worked with her on a prenup agreement. Professionally, she is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and logical in her approach. After listening to my objectives she laid out a detailed and methodical outline of the issues that needed to be addressed and raised other considerations that I had not even thought of. She was also very accessible – taking every call and returning every email promptly, which I very much appreciated. On a personal note Cheryl is kind, caring, empathetic and considerate, which made her a pleasure to work with. Both my fiancé and I could not have been more pleased in our dealings with Cheryl.

I have known Cheryl for a while now and always recommend her to my colleagues and clients for all family-law matters. She is smart, astute, practical, and can help clients untangle seemingly messy situations with ease and grace. My clients are often touched by her compassion as well as her well-honed ability to zealously advocate for them in and out of court. I highly recommend her for all family-law matters.

Thank You – for treating me like a princess, not a case number; for keeping me relaxed throughout my ordeal; for calming my nerves and making the process stress-free; for the confidence of knowing I’m in good hands. Thank you Cheryl – for going above and beyond the call of duty!

Cheryl is well-skilled in determining those situations that are suitable to an amicable mediation and settlement negotiation, as opposed to those requiring financial discovery, custody and support litigation, and forensic involvement.

Cheryl expresses constant commitment, patience, and dedication to her clients whether through composed mediation and collaborative methods or intricate and aggressive divorce litigation.
