Kevin Gabrysiak

I was in panic mode searching for a lawyer to represent me during my family court matter. I googled lawyers and Ian was the first to come up along with a bunch of others. I then started making my phone calls to meet them so i can decide what i was going to do. The very first meeting i knew Ian was the one i was going with. He is very professional in everything he does answers phone calls in a timely manner and did everything he could to help me even with a case he wasnt hired for. I highly recommend him to anyone that is going through custody or even child support battles.

Kelly Mayotte

well i have to say . I went to a different attorney. I was very unhappy with the results and nothing was getting done. I went and looked up Ian online after being referred to him. Within one year everything that was not getting done was done. He is very professional and to the point. He was inexpensive compared to other attorneys I spoke with and I recommend him highly. I am very happy with the services I received. Anything that could have went wrong did not go wrong.

My divorce hasn't been an easy experience, but Mr. Mednick has always been concerned for my best interests. He was always professional, personable and patient which meant a lot through a very emotional time. I would highly recommend Ian Mednick to anyone considering legal representation.

Krissi McVicker

Ian Mednick was the best and only choice for representation in my divorce preceedings, I felt he took a genuine interest in my case not just a payday as many other firms do. He advised me correctly and as a result I attained custody of my two sons and was awarded exclusive rights to my marital home which I work hard for, which is almost never obtained by men. Ian does not give you the run around and when you need him, you get him not an answering machine.

Duane Shepherd

As I have been going through a very heart wrenching, drawn out, draining divorce, I would like to highly recommend Ian Mednick as a divorce attorney. Ian has been there through it all, and has stood by me every minute of the way. Since being in court several more times than I would like, knowing that the system makes it long and exhausting, Ian has been my "Rock". He is always very professional and assures me that everything will be okay as it has been. He is always available for me at any time of day, and if he is busy at the time, it will take him moments to get back to me. My case is still ongoing, but I am certain I will be fine after this is over. I have 4 children that I love very much and would like to make this transition very easy for them, Ian knows the the man I am, and would never try and hurt my children. I would highly recommend Ian as your divorce attorney, and will be looking forward to making 1 more post after the conclusion of this case.

Jay Geller

Ian has represented me for my child custody and support cases quite a few times. His professionalism in the office when discussing my case was amazing. He went over every option with me not just the "most expensive" He took the time to answer all my questions and make each and every step clear to me. His professionalism was not just in the office, but in the court room as well. I felt so confident each and every time appearing before the judge and having a great feeling knowing he was so confident in what he job, as well as predicting the outcomes. He is a very personable attorney who does not intimidate you with his vast knowledge of the law, but educates you at each meeting.

As a father of two young children (ages 9 and 5) I was extremely concerned over aggressively pursuing my divorce without compromising the welfare of my children and my rights as a father. I interviewed more than 7 different, so-called, divorce attorneys who also specialized in the rights of the father. Non of them gave me any great sense of confidence that all my interests and concerns ( mostly those involving my children) were going to be handled as if they were their own family. I chose Ian Mednick to represent me and have never regretted it since. He has treated me like family from the first consultation to the final judgement of divorce from the judge. Through the course of my divorce action I had several issues that needed to be addressed without delay. I brought my concerns to Ian and within 24 hours he had an emergency meeting scheduled with the judge for me; and in post judgement concerns brought by my ex-wife he consolidated all matters from multiple court dates into one and has resolved all matters without compromising my concerns and holding the line on costs. I explained to him early on that money is a concern, considering child support is inevitable. Ian never pursued anything unrealistic or made empty promises to pad his bill. Now I have joint custody of my beautiful children, and a new start on life without being bankrupt. All matters regarding my divorce resolved to my satisfaction and without a doubt this wouldn't have been possible without being represent by Ian S. Mednick, a consummate professional who's business is family law and who made me feel like family through it all.

I have the highest regard and confidence in his ability to handle the most difficult of cases, and mine being one of them.

Jason Ruggiero

My name is Joseph J Massaro Jr. I have been represented by Ian Mednick for the last 2 years. It has been a long exhausting anxiety filled experience dealing with the Court system. Ian has stood by my side and fought for my children from standing next to me in front of the judge, to physically driving and meeting me at the Law Guardians office, going to the police station several times, arguing with the police about Orders of Protection being violated. I watched him go from the lowest cop at the desk all the way up to the Sergeant. He did not let them bully him. In the end there was an arrest made but if I was there by myself without proper representation the police would not have listened to me and would have thrown me out the door. Even though I have a lawyer representing me in Court I never know what decision the Court will make and I could have the best lawyer in the world but in the end the system is the system. I have received the best results I could ask for but it is still an ongoing process, it is very time consuming and expensive. I have the utmost confidence in Mr. Mednick, I would not trust the welfare of my children with anyone else. Unfortunately the process seems to be never ending but I sleep well at night knowing that I, a man in New York, have custody of my daughter and she sleeps safe in my home. All of this is because of all of the hard work and dedication that Mr. Mednick has provided to me and he has gone above and beyond what any other lawyer would do. I recommend him highly and I would not use anyone else.

Joe Massaro

Ian was knowledgeable, easy to work with and efficient. I am a lawyer myself but needed a family law specialist. I would recommend him for a divorce or family matter.

Ellen Burns

I had the pleasure of meeting Ian Mednick in 2011, he represented my boyfriend in a nasty divorce & custody case. There were false allegations filed in the court paperwork by his ex-wife and her financial demands nearly exceeded his annual salary. She had just voluntarily quit her full time job and took a part time position with over a 50% pay cut, in an attempt to claim poverty & make my boyfriend pay spousal support and all of her attorney’s fees. In addition, she was attempting to severely restrict his visitation time with his children. My boyfriend adores his children & cherishes every moment with them, he felt helpless and completely stressed over the situation. Ian immediately reassured him that her allegations were clearly fabricated, because they were so ambiguous. He fought for joint custody, the time with the children divided equally. He fought hard to prove that she intentionally quit her job in order to make my boyfriend pay far more than his fair share. At one point during the proceedings, my boyfriend’s ex-wife denied his weekend visitation, unless her petty demands were met. Ian scheduled an emergency meeting with the judge, cleared up the issue and there was no further interference with his visitation. Ian immediately addressed all the issues as they arose, he fought hard and maintained a no nonsense approach. He did not waste any time on the nonsense that he knew the judge would not entertain. He stuck to the core issues. As a result, my boyfriend has joint custody and physical custody 50% of the time. Ian was able to prove to the judge that my boyfriend’s ex-wife intentionally quit her job to sabotage her income. As a result, his ex was ordered to divide the joint expenses for the children according to her original full time income, not the part time income when she appeared in court. My boyfriend kept his pension and only had to pay 10% of her attorney’s fees. In April 2013, my boyfriend’s ex-wife filed a case in family court, claiming that he owes her a mere $1,400 and again is attempting to restrict his time and communication with his children. Meanwhile, she currently owes him over $10,000, according to the judge’s pendente lite order. My boyfriend and I turned to Ian Mednick for assistance in this issue. Because family court has no jurisdiction over the divorce decree & pendente lite order, we retained Ian for the second time and moved the entire case up to Supreme Court to deal with all the financial and custodial issues. Ian did not try to sell us on this decision, he provided all of the pros & cons honestly and said it was ‘up to us’. Ian is a highly experienced and skilled litigator. I would highly recommend him for any divorce, family or custodial issues. He will address all of your concerns and be honest about the potential outcome. His rates are very fair for the high quality of representation you will receive. Gail Imhauser

My divorce was anything but straightforward, but Ian was there throughout the entire experience protecting my rights and the those of my children. Divorce is never anything to take lightly and Ian was instrumental in navigating all issues and processes from begining to end. I have no reservations and can highly recommend Ian Mednick to anyone looking for a divorce attorney.

Rob Murphy

Ian Mednick has represented me for the last two years. After a long and drawn out custody battle which lasted many months the Court awarded me custody of my two daughters. As a man in New York I am well aware of how difficult it is for a man to win custody and Mr. Mednick pursued my matter aggressively and as if he was fighting for his own children. Ian takes a different personalized approach to representing his clients and he treats you with respect and courtesy. I would recommend Ian to anyone looking to hire an attorney. He is available when ever I need him 24 hours a day and he symbolizes everything that a lawyer should stand for. There are a lot of lawyers that will simply take your money and Mr. Mednick is not one of those attorneys. He cares about your case and it shows in his representation.
