A Steady Hand Through a Difficult Divorce

My experience with Wayne Barkauskas, K.C., and the team at Wise Bickman Barkauskas was overwhelmingly positive during a complex and emotionally charged divorce. While the process was inherently stressful, Mr. Barkauskas provided a calm, strategic presence that was invaluable. His deep knowledge of New York family law was evident from our first consultation, and his recognition in both Family Law and Family Mediation proved crucial. We initially attempted mediation, where his skill as a neutral facilitator helped us resolve several key issues amicably. When negotiations on the final settlement became contentious, his advocacy was firm yet measured, always keeping my children's best interests and long-term financial stability at the forefront. The one aspect where I occasionally felt some delay was in email responses during non-urgent periods; a slightly quicker turnaround on administrative communications would have been appreciated. That said, the quality of his legal counsel was exceptional. He demystified each step, managed my expectations realistically, and ultimately secured a fair outcome. I would confidently recommend him to anyone navigating similar family law matters.
