At the Schwartzman Law Firm, with offices in Staten Island, New York and Freehold, New Jersey, we listen to your issues and find cost effective solutions of the highest quality and integrity.  We listen and respond to you with compassion and honesty. 

Our founder, Steven D. Schwartzman began his legal career in a mid-size firm in White Plains, New York, handling personal injury and litigation matters.  He then moved to Staten Island and worked as an associate for eight years at a general practice firm operating in New York and New Jersey where he handled litigation matters from inception to completion, business and corporate clients, landlord/tenant and foreclosure matters, and wills trusts & estates.  Steven also ran the firm’s family law and divorce practice. 

Steven D. Schwartzman is an experienced divorce and matrimonial attorney.  If you are in a difficult marriage and contemplating divorce, we can discuss your options and rights.  You can expect honesty and direct explanations in a clear, easy to understand manner.  Our goal in a divorce is, if possible, to resolve your matter without litigation so that funds can be spent where it counts – on your family and not attorneys fees.  However, if that is not possible, you can expect aggressive court action to protect your rights.  We can also assist you with prenuptial agreements, child support & custody issues, spousal support, and other family law matters.  You will have a friend and advocate by your side, always.

We take a similar approach to Estate Planning.  Tell us your goals and we will craft a tailor-made estate plan to suit your needs and protect you and your loved ones.  We utilize a combination of Wills, Trusts, and other documents such as Health Care Proxies, Power of Attorneys, and Living Wills to accomplish your goals.  We can also assist you with probate and administration, and distribution of assets.  If you’re wondering why you need a Last Will & Testament, or if a trust would be better, just ask!

We have extensive experience litigating civil matters in both New York & New Jersey.  Whether it’s a dispute with a business partner, someone who failed to live up to a contract, or any other dispute, tell us the problem and we’ll help you find a solution.  

Our firm is built differently.  We strive to be a firm that you can trust, and one that will always have your best interests as its priority.  We have experience in many other matter types so please book your free consultation directly on this website and let’s see if we can work together.  If your matter is not one we can handle, we will inform you right away, and do our best to consult our colleagues and find someone we can recommend.  We look forward to working with you!
