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. M.D., Manhasset, NY Marketing manager of a large global asset management firm

As a physician, enduring a divorce/custody litigation was the most stressful thing I have ever gone through. Carolyn D. Kersch from Samuelson, Hause & Samuelson (specializing in matrimonial and family law) saved me from myself when I was emotionally defenseless and ignorant of the complicated legal process. She did this by taking the time to genuinely know me as a person in every aspect, and applying this insight to her formidable experience and education. From this, she strategized an approach that was optimized for my very specific needs and explained every step of the process to me. I was a highly reluctant participant, but she kept me engaged by informing me of every conceivable and potential pro/con impact for critical decisions. At no point during this painful process did I question her commitment to my cause, and she always kept me calm and focused despite the intense emotional experience. Carolyn was there for me every step of the way, professionally and personally. Her integrity, honesty and conscientiousness were invaluable to me. I knew the moment we met for the first time, I could trust her and this only grew further as we continued to work together. I could not have survived this ordeal without her and the firm. Needless to say, I have always referred friends and family in need to this attorney. To this day, I can truly call her my friend. Thank you so much!

I have known Wendy Samuelson for almost ten years now and I must say that she is an exceptional person and a great attorney. She (and her firm) differentiates herself from most other attorneys by being extremely compassionate and concerned for her client and their family. Even though she is kind and caring, don’t let that fool you as she can be extremely tough if need be. She is not motivated to prolong cases and is extremely trustworthy. She is extremely intelligent, an expert on the law and a great negotiator. Additionally, Wendy was always reachable and very responsive. I am very pleased that I used Wendy and know I made the right decision in going with Samuelson Hause Samuelson Geffner & Kersch. Carolyn Kersch also did a lot of work on my case and I can’t say enough about her either.

Attorney Carolyn Kersch changed my life when she decided to take my case. She truly dedicated herself with great passion and conviction to my cause. Never did I feel as if she had wasted a moment of my time or money, on the contrary it was all well worth it. She is an amazing attorney that knows exactly what she is doing and fought hard so that my children and I could be stress free and live a happy life. I am very grateful to her and I very much believe in her knowledge and capabilities to defend anyone that needs her help.

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 expecially, 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. P. De Riso, Flushing, NY Formerly manager of a Long Island law firm.

Wendy Samuelson is an outstanding legal professional. She is extremely sharp, knowledgeable, and dedicated, and is passionately committed to the work she does. We had the pleasure of having Wendy as a featured speaker at the Greater New York Metro Chapter of the Association of Divorce Financial Planners (ADFP) and she was just incredible. Her presentation on pre-divorce strategic planning using Fred and Wilma Flintstones was both insightful and entertaining.

Wendy Samuelson is the best family lawyer I know. I have now referred two friends having marital problems to her, and she truly was "the calm beneath their storm," as her website says. She supported both of them through difficult times, helping both of them to reach their goals in a successful manner that helped preserve relationship. I have also referred a friend needing a prenup, and she was knowledgeable and even-handed. I recommend her highly.

The lawyers were consummate professionals, making the process of dissolving a marriage much less painful. In addition to the attention to the legal aspects of the divorce, the lawyers provided much needed moral support. The bonus was the having the divorce completed in a timely manner!
