"Henry Gornbein represented me in a very high conflict divorce when my wife did everything possible to alienate the children, including having false reports filed with child protective services, and doing everything possible to manipulate the legal system. Henry Gornbein represented me fully, was a very strong advocate on my behalf, and did everything possible to protect my rights, especially with regard to my relationship with the children. He also worked with me on economic issues, and fully protected me through all aspects of this very high conflict and contentious divorce. I am fully satisfied with his service, and would be happy to recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney in a divorce or other family law matter."

"I was very pleased with the Alisa's handling of my matter. I first began to work with Alisa over 10 years ago. She did a wonderful job of representing me in my divorce matter. She was extremely thorough and very professional in all of the dealings that the matter required. At times, she had to set me straight so that I would benefit from her knowledge and not give in to things that would hurt me in the long run. I especially like Alisa's "no-nonsense" approach to the situation, and that makes me feel empowered. I have always referred others in the same situation to Alisa, and will continue to recommend her in the future. It's a good feeling to know that I have someone to go to, that I can trust, for legal advice and for sound peace of mind."

"Alisa came highly recommended to me by a very close attorney friend to handle my family law matter. Her professionalism, thoroughness, compassion and collaborative methodology far exceeded my already-high expectations. She was able to cut through the "peripheral" issues of a highly difficult case and focus on the "true issues" to achieve a positive outcome for all parties involved in the litigation. Alisa's diligence in managing my case from her punctuality to her truly caring about me as a person and not just a "client" was truly refreshing. It is my pleasure to give Alisa Peskin-Shepherd my highest recommendation in all family law matters."

"Ms. Peskin-Shepherd handled a divorce for me in 2006. Unfortunately, this was not my first divorce, but it was the best experience I have had with any attorney for any legal situation. She is knowledgeable, acts quickly and concisely, and her professionalism is excellent. I was divorced in a matter of a few months, and she was instrumental in moving it along so that I could move on. I would recommend her to anyone who is facing a difficult legal situation and wants the best available help."

"I was referred to the law firm by one of my friends, and had just spoke to Danielle over the phone as I was out of the area, send her some of the back ground information about my case – which was truly an uphill battle and required work to re-start the matter to get justice.

Danielle was positive from the beginning, explained the possible scenarios, but most of all, was very supportive and understanding, which made it possible for us to put up our side in the correct manner as needed.  During the long process, she was always co-operative, listened to everything I had to say, gave me sincere advice, nothing just to please my ears, which I truly appreciate. She was able to understand the depth of the situation, and so was able to get to the best possible outcome.

Whenever needed, she came out as a human being first and an attorney later, she has even gone out of her ways, to accommodate certain situations and has always been very supportive, true advisor and guide."

"I went through a horrible divorce, with a different attorney, where I was lied about and made out to look like a monster that didn’t care about his children. My attorney, in my opinion, did nothing to stop this from happening; hence the outcome was horrific for the relationship between my children and me. Needless to say when I decided to go back to court to obtain custody of my eldest daughter, and more time with my two younger daughters I went shopping for a new attorney.

Danielle was my third. I am so grateful for Danielle and her professionalism and true wisdom of the laws and how they are supposed to work – for everyone equally.  Danielle went to court with me numerous times – my ex was accusing me of everything under the sun and got a court date for every new idea she made up. Each time Danielle was prepared for whatever curveball we were thrown, and was ready with a counter and proof that what was being stated was nothing but lies and actually contradicted what was stated in early court appearances – some of which were when she was not my attorney. The time Danielle took explaining things to me either on the phone, e-mail or during our ‘weekly’ court visits was reassuring. She made me feel like I was doing the right thing, that she believed in my and my rights as a father, and that she had my back!

Danielle gave me back my children and my life. I gained full custody of my eldest daughter and I now have my other children 4-5 days a week. I now have a much greater respect for the law and the court system and that is ALL thanks to Danielle. Thank you!"

"Henry Gornbein came highly recommended to me by a friend of mine.  I walked into his office visibly upset, scared and afraid of the "unknown"  Within minutes, he alleviated  my fears, addressed my concerns, and helped me to regain my confidence and self esteem.

With Henry's knowledge, professionalism, straight forward-no nonsense approach, I emerged as a confident, self -assured woman who received a favorable outcome. I am honored to not only have him as my attorney, but as my friend.

I would highly recommend Henry Gornbein to anyone who is seeking an attorney."
