Just after college I met and married Rose. I hoped we would have a happily ever after and I truly tried my best to make that happen. I worked hard and made good money. We had four children, but my wife made me do everything. She never worked during the marriage, and that was fine with me because we didn’t need the money. However, I always hoped she would take more interest in the kids and our home, but it never happened. Year after year, I was the one who got up to make breakfast and the school lunches for the kids before I went to work. Over time, Rose and I grew apart and I realized that I was carrying everything on my back. I never felt like I had a partner. We tried counselling but nothing changed. Finally, after nearly 20 years, I decided to get a divorce. I asked friends about divorce lawyers and the Law Office of Ellen Holtzman came highly recommended. After the initial consult I asked Ellen to send the divorce papers to Rose.

Ellen dragged out my divorce unnecessarily and charged a fortune. Several times we prepared for court dates, and she rescheduled, creating more paperwork for which I was charged. She couldn’t come to the most important possible conference with Judge Ratner in Westchester, sending in a substitute that was completely unfamiliar with my case and Ratner just yelled at me the whole time. Wasted hours of my time and let the other lawyer yell at me. Made a terrible divorce traumatic.

When you are contemplating or facing a divorce, the myriad of emotions and the depth of those feelings can overwhelm you and hijack your normally logical thought process. It can really challenge the foundation of who you are. This is what I found when I was facing my own divorce. Even though I am a well educated PhD with a successful career, this process reduced me to feeling helpless and weak.

I was 54 years old and I truly believed that my wife and I had a good marriage. We had a beautiful home and 2 healthy and bright grown children and they were both doing well. I think now that my ex-wife must have just got tired of being married. I was stunned when, only a few days after or 25th anniversary, she said she wanted to separate. She left our home saying she would be back. I stayed in the house, but after 3 years of living apart, I learned she was dating. I had had a good experience with a leading personal injury lawyer a few years before so I called him to ask if he could handle my divorce. Unfortunately, he did not handle divorces, but he did say “If I needed a divorce lawyer, I’d go to Ellen Holtzman.” At our first meeting, Ellen explained the divorce laws in NYS. Step by step, she took me through what would happen, and everything did happen as she had explained. Some of the laws didn’t seem fair to me, especially since I felt I had done nothing to deserve what was happening in my life, but at every point I felt Ellen achieved the most possible for me under the law. She and her staff were very professional, and always got back to me quickly. At a lot of our meetings, I went in feeling upset, but I always went away feeling better. Ellen helped me see that things would get better, and they have. After the divorce was finalized, it was like a big weight being lifted off my shoulders. And besides being a good lawyer, she’s a nice person. She always asked how my kids were doing, and that meant a lot to me. How can I sum up what I feel about Ellen Holtzman? She’s great.

I had been hoping and praying for ten years that I could save my marriage. A traumatic event in my husband’s life led to his abuse of alcohol, drugs, and eventually me and our two girls. I had a good job at a leading financial institution in New York, but all of the happiness was being drained from our lives. Before long, both our young daughters had begin abusing drugs. They were acting out their anger and depression in other heartbreaking ways, too. despite all this, I continued to try to make the marriage work for ten long years. A faithful Catholic, I rejected the very idea of divorce. But I finally realized that my marriage was hopeless, and my life was a shambles. My insistence on trying to save the marriage was destroying the ones I lived the most, the ones who most deserved my love–my children.

Ellen B. Holtzman was recommended to me by another attorney in the area as “the best divorce lawyer in the county,” and she was absolutely right. Mine was a late life divorce, after nearly 40 years of marriage. I knew that I would need a sure hand to navigate many complex financial issues, which included multiple legal landmines. First, there were the various complexities of splitting a New York City civil service pension which, although no easy task, Ellen’s firm was well versed in. They ensured my portion of his pension was exact and timely, and continued corresponding with me well after the divorce was final to make sure I was receiving my share. Many thanks to paralegal Collette, who also diligently worked on my behalf. The whole team made me feel so well cared for. Ellen Holtzman and her associate Meryl Neuren were confronted with what must be the most verbose lawyer in New York State. One of her games was to increase the workload by sending massive stacks of paper on a regular basis. But she was no match for my smart, efficient, and poised-under-fire team. Ellen Holtzman is amazing. Her entire legal team gave me exemplary representation. I highly recommend them.

I went through a painful and difficult divorce several years ago, followed by a challenging custody dispute that ended up in court. Ellen Holtzman represented me in both matters, arguing my cases persuasively and effectively and winning a verdict in my favor. In this arena winning a case is not, however, the only criterion of success. If there was one thing that allowed me to retain a sense of myself and my integrity during this process, it was that I would not willfully misrepresent the truth, or have it misrepresented on my behalf. In addition to her deep professional expertise and years of experience in this area of the law, particularly with the Rockland County court system, Ellen at all times displayed the highest ethical standards, and I felt entirely confident that my priorities and personal values were being faithfully reflected in the conduct of the case. I unequivocally recommend Ellen and her great staff to anyone who has the misfortune to find themselves in a similar position. Thank you Ellen!

I was fortunate to have Ellen as well as the expertise of her associate Meryl Neuren. Both these ladies came prepared and made sure all ducks were in a row, all t’s dotted and crossed. Our side was always prepared. These ladies did battle for me and I know a lot of the time it wasn’t easy. They made sure I had a future! If you are in need of a sharp lawyer then give Ellen’s office a call. A divorce is never easy but this office will see you through it and make sure there really is a light at the end of the tunnel for you. Thank you Ellen and Meryl!
