About Us
Experienced. Professional. Savvy.
I will be with you every stop of the way.
My name is Robert Kornitzer. Over the past three decades I have established a reputation for a sophisticated representation for my clients in all areas of matrimonial, law including secular (civil) and Judaic matrimonial issues.
Each person or family is different with a unique set of concerns and priorities. The “cookie-cutter” approach taken by many family lawyers today does not serve clients well. Each client deserves a personal strategy that fully addresses his or her concerns.
As one of handful of Certified Matrimonial Attorneys in Northern New Jersey and an MBA. I am in a unique position to:
Guide you to the best decisions at the most efficient cost.
Handle all aspects of the financial settlements, from the simple to complex issues involving business valuations.
Secure a proper child custody arrangement.
Handle the hurdles that come with a religious divorce.
Protect you from an aggressive spouse.
Craft a strategy that works with your goals and values.
Please take the time to learn about my background, view my videos, and read some of the articles on this site. I look forward to assisting you in your situation.
Sincerely,
Robert Kornitzer
