“BEST ATTORNEY for high-conflict divorce / domestic violence / post-judgment – As a state-certified domestic violence advocate, I cannot stress the importance of choosing an excellent attorney. For all of you out there who know that you’re dealing with a difficult ex, you absolutely need a lawyer like David Bliven as your ally.

David is hands down one of the best lawyers I’ve dealt with in my own high-conflict divorce and post-judgment nightmare now entering its seventh year in the legal system. He came highly recommended from a trusted lawyer and friend, who said he was the best for dealing with difficult situations like mine, involving an ex set on destruction at all costs. David has an encyclopedic mind for the law, and this, combined with his talent for remaining calm when dealing with antagonistic people in court, is a tremendous benefit. He knows not to “take the bait” and to remain always respectful, rather than engage in mindless battle, a common technique used by less professional attorneys trying to run up their own bills. David’s professional attitude is impressive not only to a judge, but his no-nonsense manner also saves his clients money. He is extremely organized and responsive, as is his staff. His documentation is impeccable, and his paralegals always make sure to follow-up with any questions I might have promptly. I would highly recommend David Bliven to anyone in need of a top attorney with integrity, and especially one who specializes in handling difficult people.”– Lisa

“Thank you! – From the first appointment until the end, Mr. Bliven provided not only sound advice, but kept me informed through the entire process. He always provided options in resolution, clarity on the legal process, and gave suggestions in those moments where I found myself overwhelmed. In addition, he was willing to work with me in payment options when my financial circumstances changed. It’s never a good idea to traverse divorce alone and uninformed. I highly recommend Mr. Bliven!”– Julio

“During a time, when it seemed as my life was about to fall apart, Mr. Bliven was there to make sure I was protected. Mr. Bliven was there to make sure every “T” was crossed and every “I” was dotted. He made sure I was entitled to my fair share. When children are involved in a divorce, I wanted to make sure they were taken care of for the foreseeable future. Mr. Bliven made it his duty to fight for me when he felt I deserved more retribution. He fought tooth and nail for the needs of my children as well as for me. During a time when things looked bleak, Mr. Bliven made sure my legal and financial needs are taken care of. When beginning this venture, I was scared that I would walk off of this with only my “shirt”, but Mr. Bliven made it his job to make sure I was able to resume my life without looking back. I want to thank Mr. Bliven and I would recommend him to anyone who is and is thinking about filing for a divorce.”– Anonymous

Mr. Bliven was thoroughly knowledgeable and highly attentive as he helped me smoothly resolve complex child support matters involving international issues of competing jurisdictions. Having had a number of attorneys in the course of my divorce and child custody/support matters over the last 18 years, I believe I am experienced to know that Mr. Bliven is a top family law expert.”– Jonathan

Mr. Bliven kept me up to date on all matters pertaining to my case and his billing is fair and accurate for the work he puts into the case. I would certainly recommend him to anyone that is seeking a topnotch lawyer in the area family court.”– Lou

“Although I have not met with Mr. Bliven yet. I contacted his office on a Friday of a Holiday Weekend. His office’s response was immediate and I was treated with respect as if I was already a client. His staff took the time to email me immediately and when I called I was given an appointment that accommodates my schedule. Custody matters are very sensitive and clients can be emotional. It was a relief to speak with someone who was not only professional and courtesy, but also showed genuine concern. I look forward to my consultation with Mr. Bliven.”– Teri Colon

“Mr. Bliven was knowledgeable, informative, and an incredible strategist. He used all of my legal rights to defend me in my case and was extremely professional to work with. I can’t thank him enough for his ability to use our rights as law-abiding citizens and to get the job done. David consulted with me on all motions before revealing them to the court or to any other parties. For this I thank him and am grateful for his diligence in representation.”– Ariane

“Although I subscribe to a legal plan through my union (I’m a teacher), I decided to retain Mr. Bliven based on our initial consultation. He seemed much better versed than the less expensive “plan” attorney I spoke to in the child support matter I brought to him. Mr. Bliven scanned the paperwork I brought with me to the consultation and immediately developed a strategy using various points of law. Mr. Bliven kept in constant contact with me and “cc’d” me on all correspondence he and my ex-wife’s attorney had via email or hard-copy. Mr. Bliven’s courtroom demeanor was just as I had hoped it would be; vocal and on point. Ultimately, my ex-wife and I reached a fair compromise that did not follow the default percentages NY State dictates. I would definitely retain again should the need arise.”– Gregg
