Keith B. Schulefand, Esq.

I have substantial legal experience myself and have attended law school and been involved in regulatory compliance and regulation and law development for many years.
Keith was empathetic and potentially realistic.
However he was also unresponsive and seemingly not interested in pursuing a difficult case. He did not communicate with me in a timely manner or try to understand the complexity of the facts of the case.
The negotiated consent order on custody of children perpetuated a situation that is likely not in the best interests of the children.
We are back in court. I am representing my self and making good progress. Admittedly, this is a tough case involving the professional misconduct of child’s mental health counselor, who recommended that the children leave my custody. After filing a complaint with the NYS Education Department, this counselor was prosecuted on numerous charges associated with professional misconduct including incompetence and negligence. She entered into a settlement agreement with NYS Education Department admitting professional misconduct.
I am disappointed with Keith’s performance in my case. He seemed more concerned about the expedient resolution of the case than a real understanding.

Dude never replies until the day of and convinces you to accept the false allegations because “it’s hard to prove” when in reality he slept with said woman I was in court with. Save your money you’re better off going alone

DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY. He is unethical and charged an extra $25,000 to my husband as an “expense” because we resolved our matrimonial before his retainer was fully depleted. He does not understand accounting unless it increases his wallet- and he is never available. He is extremely unethical and incompetent. He needs to retire so he can permanently retire and not waste the courts’ time
