Client Reviews

I cannot say enough remarkable things about Harriet Cohen. Her strategy made the difference between an excellent just result and a disastrous unjust result during a very difficult period in my life. She was there for me to lean on, legally and emotionally, throughout the representation, day, night, and weekends, both as to the particular legal issues and about life. She was a teacher, a confidante, a cheerleader, an inspiration, in addition to being my legal counselor. Her timing was perfect – throughout the representation. I am a changed person from just knowing Harriet. We stay in touch and she is always with me. I am happy to speak to anyone about my excellent counselor, friend, and mentor, Harriet Cohen.

Harriet is a true force of nature! I was the victim of parental alienation, which was a nightmare. Thanks to her, my family was protected. Harriet fought for my rights and never lost sight of the bottom line, which was the best interests of my children! I highly recommend Harriet and her firm. They are the best!

Great divorce lawyer. Knows the players, the judges and how the system works. Fabulous representation. Smart, wise, caring and honest attorney. If I ever remarry, I’d use Ms. Cohen to do my prenup!

Fantastic! Harriet did my postnuptial agreement. She was responsive and very smart, easy to reach and a true professional. Very clear thinker and excellent communicator. Picked up on subtle points that I would have missed. I recommend her highly and will be sending my friends and family her way if they need help with marriage-related issues.

Harriet Newman Cohen and her daughter, Martha Cohen Stine, were my lawyers during a difficult, high profile, high conflict divorce. I have suggested this mother-daughter team to my family members and friends. They know the law, they know the system, they know the judges, and they are fierce and relentless advocates. You don’t want them on the other side.

Smart, strong, highly recommended. I went through a messy divorce after a long marriage. Harriet guided me through the process, made me feel taken care of and in good hands. Everyone working with her was helpful, compassionate and responsive. The case ultimately settled out of court, which I appreciated – especially for the sake of the children – and to get the divorce over and done with. She did an expert job and helped uncover monies my ex was attempting to hide. I have happily embarked on my next chapter in life!

Harriet Cohen is the best damn lawyer I have ever worked with. I had worked with a few lawyers prior to coming to Harriet’s firm and was extremely dissatisfied. She is extremely intelligent, cool, calm and collected — but could be a bull dog when she needed to be! Harriet was always available for me and made me feel like I was the only client she had. It seemed like she was up all night working on my case, and she was always waiting for me with a smile on her face when I met with her in the office.

Truly had my best interests at heart. Ms. Stine was kind, compassionate, and always had my back. I felt she genuinely cared about my best interests and guided me every step of the way. Highly recommended. Five stars all the way!

Martha Stine is an extraordinary lawyer and person. She managed to settle my case and keep me out of litigation even with a vicious and vindictive ex-husband. She saved me a lot of money in fees through her calm, strategic and practical approach. I have suggested her name to all of my friends going through a divorce, they have all thanked me. I cannot recommend Ms. Stine highly enough – she is fabulous.

Marti handled my prenup agreement, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She’s incredibly smart and strategic, always thinking a few steps ahead while still keeping my priorities front and center. She explained everything clearly, responded promptly, and made a complex process feel manageable. She was consistently reliable and detail-oriented from start to finish. I felt fully supported throughout, and I’d highly recommend her to anyone needing thoughtful and skilled legal guidance for their prenup or other matrimonial matter.

I will be forever grateful to have hired Marti Stine. From our very first conversation, I felt supported and understood. Marti and her team guided me through every step with compassion, patience, and professionalism. They clearly explained the process and what to expect. All of my calls and emails were answered promptly, and the office staff was also very supportive. What stood out the most? How genuinely invested she was in my case — I never felt like just another client. This is a small boutique firm that truly works as a cohesive team. If you are looking for a divorce attorney who is exceptionally skilled and also truly cares about their clients, I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I must be the happiest woman on the Upper West Side. The path from engaging Marti and her team at CSK led to a successful case. It was a long journey, not an easy one, but worth it. I deserved a chance to come out of it with some level of success, and Marti delivered. My representation was nothing short of a miracle. Marti’s hard work and determination, mixed with a drive to reign supreme, is obvious. A job brilliantly done. Grace and pragmatism, coupled with outstanding strategy, got us to the finish line. Kudos!

Fabulous attorney – knowledgeable, professional, geared towards settling cases! Ms. Stine represented me in my divorce 5 years ago. She persuaded me to stay out of litigation and work out a settlement, which we did. She saved me thousands of dollars by preventing court intervention, as well as helping my ex-husband and I move on with minimal trauma. Highly recommended.

I was recommended to Ms. Stine after my ex-girlfriend gave birth to our son and then denied that I was the father and refused to let me anywhere near the baby. For 2 years, Ms. Stine fought for me relentlessly through the family court system. Not only was my paternity acknowledged, I ended up with a court order awarding me sole physical and legal custody. My girlfriend’s bad conduct was no match for Ms. Stine’s legal skills and tenacity. Her support of me was unwavering and she was reasonable about fees. I would highly recommend her.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Martha Cohen Stine, along with her colleague Ankit Kapoor. She guided me through an extremely difficult time in my life for which I am profoundly grateful. It was not only her professionalism and vast legal knowledge, but her patience, kindness and caring. I knew after our first meeting that she would fight hard on my behalf, and she did. I cannot fully put into words my appreciation for this dynamic team, so I will simply say Thank You.

Martha did an excellent job for one of my most important clients in a sensitive matter.

Marti Stine was my attorney in a custody litigation against my mentally ill husband. Her advice and guidance helped me understand and successfully navigate the custody evaluation, the judge, the attorney for the children, the social workers who supervised visitation, and more. She stood by me and I always felt supported. The agreement she drafted when the case settled was detailed and practical and has kept my children safe. I tell all my friends that she is the best matrimonial lawyer in NYC.

Ankit advocated for me and got my case to a better place after other lawyers made little progress. Mountains were moved here, and Ankit did the heavy lifting. Case tried and settled with great success, solid results and a very happy and satisfied client. Ankit has given me FREEDOM, PEACE OF MIND, HOPE and PURPOSE.

I endorse this lawyer. Ankit is a diligent, responsible, and client-oriented matrimonial attorney. He is a rising star in his practice area. I have no reservation in recommending him to those in need of qualified representation in matrimonial matters.

Awesome advocate! Mr. Kapoor fought hard for me in court in a difficult divorce case. His hard work and determination and brilliant strategy paid off, and I have regained my freedom and peace of mind. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

I endorse Ankit. He is a smart and tenacious attorney. As a partner in an established and highly reputable Manhattan law firm, he handles prenuptial agreements, separation agreements, and divorce cases. He is trustworthy and reliable. Clients can count on him.

Working with this lawyer has made a difficult time in my life a little bit easier. He is great in the courtroom and helped me a great deal in my custody case. Very good at explaining all of the steps to me in plain English. I recommend Mr. Kapoor.
