About Kornitzer family law
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,
Kornitzer Family Law, sees your case through from start to finish

“I will be with
you every step
of the way”
Robert Kornitzer is one of the most, dedicated, sincere, committed, wonderful person you would ever meet!!! This man has integrity, honor, class, and an all-around great guy!!! He helped me through a trying time, and put up with all my craziness!!…
I have extremely high regard for Bob. We had a contentious divorce matter about 15 years ago, and we were able to settle it. He is an excellent advocate for his clients and he is reasonable and highly ethical. The best endorsement I can provide …
Bob is a conscientious, fair, and honest attorney who has his clients best interest in mind. He does not engage in situations to increase his bill. In fact, he will tell you how to save money so listen to him! He made a difficult experience easier. I highly recommend him!
Expert and very professional , gave great advice. First family lawyer that I feel was on my side.
Bob is an excellent attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.
My divorce finally ended last year after about two years of legal process. He was recommended to me by a former client of his and my friend in the middle of my divorce. My former attorney did not seem to be capable of handling my case due to the complexity of it. The best decision that I ever made was to retain Bob to represent me. He has so much expertise and experience in matrimonial law and is very dedicated to his clients. Bob is readily accessible and always answers my questions in less than 24 hours. It was a very taxing and stressful process, but Bob made it much more manageable for me. I highly recommend Bob to anyone who is looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, honest, professional, and tough fighter matrimonial attorney! Thank you so much Bob and Diana!!!
