“I have known Wendy for over 35 years, have been a client of hers, and
have referred her to many of my own clients and friends who wanted an
exemplary matrimonial attorney. Every one of them has thanked me for the
referral. She is top notch.

A year before I decided to get divorced, I met with Wendy. I wasn’t quite ready to pull the plug on my marriage, even though when I look back I realize it was over for years. I remember being impressed with Wendy’s calm authority and the feeling that she would take care of me and my children. I was hoping that I would never see her again, hoping that I could make my marriage work. And then…I pulled the plug.

I was encouraged by friends to try mediation. On paper mediation makes sense, two parties making a rational agreement and of course there’s the promise of it being less expensive. The problem is; it takes both parties to be rational, which unfortunately was not my case. After months of mediation, and nothing getting done, I realized that I needed an advocate for me. I needed to act quickly because my husband was about to sell one of our commercial properties, one of our largest assets, and pocket the funds for himself. Wendy came to the rescue, on the day before Thanksgiving no less, and got a restraining order for me, making sure the proceeds of the sale of the building were placed in escrow. This was critical to my case.

Wendy was a calming influence on me and even my then-husband. She was patient when explaining the law and would develop and review financial spreadsheets to make it understandable to both me and my ex to settle the case. She responded quickly and was thorough. I am grateful that I had Wendy Samuelson on my side, looking out for me and my children.

Having been married for over 43 years, I was a “deer in the headlights” when it came to facing the facts that my marriage was ending. I was recommended to Wendy Samuelson by a friend of a friend and from our first meeting, I knew she was the attorney for me. She was always calm, patient and professional, but especially, she was compassionate. There is life after divorce and she helped me to realize that goal. I will always be indebted to her and her firm.

How do you choose a matrimonial attorney? Referrals. I was referred to Wendy Samuelson of Samuelson Hause & Samuelson by an attorney friend of mine who is a partner in a large multi-specialty Manhattan law firm. Why do you stay with a professional? Demonstrated results. Wendy Samuelson is the real deal. With over 18 years of experience solely in matrimonial law, she was thoroughly prepared for each court appearance and made persuasive presentations to the judge assigned to my case. Managing my expectations each step of the way with strategic assessment consultations, she was successful in securing a favorable settlement on the eve of trial. While divorce is not painless, Ms. Samuelson’s demeanor and assistance made my ordeal bearable. If a friend or colleague needs the assistance of matrimonial counsel, I would recommend Ms. Samuelson without hesitation.

Wendy Samuelson and her firm are the best around. She really listened to me and respected my wishes on how I wanted my divorce handled. I was not looking for a long, drawn out battle and Wendy was able to settle my case without my having to step into a courtroom. Her associates are just as professional and efficient as she is. I was very lucky to have been recommended to her.

If you want a divorce lawyer who will always return your calls, keep the process running smoothly, and guide you through the inevitable conflicts and hurdles,  I highly recommend Wendy Samuelson.  Wendy came to me by recommendation of an attorney friend of mine, and I’ll tell you why. She’s professional, no-nonsense, tough when she has to be, comforting when you need her to be. I’ve listened to too many divorce horror stories from other acquaintances, and I have Wendy to thank that I don’t have one of my own to share.

Divorce is a very emotional and draining process to go through. I was given a few recommendations for divorce attorneys and made appointments to consult with all of them. When I finally went in for my consultation and met with Wendy Samuelson, I was overcome with relief and confidence that I had finally found the right person to represent my case. Wendy and her colleague, Alisa Gefner, were always there for me, and answered all of my questions, whether by phone or e-mail, and were very supportive when things got tough. With their guidance, I was encouraged to do as much financial research on my own to in order to help keep the costs of litigation down.   For example, I was shown how to review my spouse’s bank records on my own, and earmark questionable transfers.   I was so impressed by Wendy’s professionalism in front of the judge and in our conferences with the opposing attorney and my ex. Wendy’s knowledge and confidence catapults her to the top of the list when it comes to divorce attorneys on Long Island. Wendy is my “Wonder Woman” and she and her firm really represent their motto: “We’re the calm beneath your storm.”
