The Abeel Firm PLLC - Divorce and Family Law

I recently enlisted the expertise of John Abeel for assistance with a relocation case pertaining to custody matters that was dismissed by every other lawyer I consulted. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, John demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and unwavering dedication to my case. One of the most remarkable aspects of John's approach was his attentiveness to my concerns and priorities. He took the time to thoroughly understand the intricacies of my situation, providing personalized guidance every step of the way. His ability to listen attentively and communicate effectively instilled confidence in me from the outset. Throughout the legal proceedings, John exhibited a deep understanding of family law and custody regulations, navigating the complexities of my relocation case with precision and skill. He maintained open lines of communication, ensuring that I was kept informed about the progress of my case and promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had along the way. This level of transparency and accessibility fostered a strong sense of trust and collaboration, which was invaluable during what could have been a stressful and uncertain time. John’s kindness and genuine care for my family showed I could not have picked a better lawyer for my case. Thank you John!

I reached out to John for a second opinion on my ongoing legal needs. John was able to provide the right amount of feedback, suggestions, overview of the legal process and a recommendation that best suited my needs even though it would mean John not gaining me as a client. This humbleness and transparency is greatly appreciated, and if I ever have to seek legal counsel in the future John will be the first phone call I make.

I would recommend John to anyone that find themselves in custody court. I felt he cared about my case just as much as I did and was available when I had questions or concerns about my case and walking me though anything I was unsure about. Whenever I was feeling doubtful or worries about my case, John helped me stay focused and was very supportive. I can say now, I have so much peace and clarity in my life.

John is first and foremost a consummate professional. John explained every step of the process. He is timely, patient and thorough. I retained John to handle a fairly complex child support matter. I am the custodial parent of my children residing in a different state than their mother. This matter required John to consult with my local attorney and also negotiate with my ex's counsel who is contentious for the sake of being contentious and difficult. He was professional in dealing with me, my local attorney, opposing counsel and the mother of my children. John did an excellent job presenting our case to the NY Magistrate and was able to get me the outcome I desired. I felt I received excellent value both in the result and counsel leading up to our hearing. Not only would I call John if the need arises I would highly recommend John.

This Law Firm is top notch. They return phone calls in a timely manner, they respond to emails in a timely manner & most important treat you with the utmost professionalism & respect. Thank you John Abeel & staff. Highly Recommend. 5 Star for sure.

In the Fall of 2019, my wife decided to walk out of our marriage. I was completely distraught and lost how to proceed with the divorce. I was refereed to John from a coworker’s friend. John and I meet prior to him taking the case. John was incredibility calm and collective when I explained my situation. He came up with a simple plan to begin our proceedings. He was very straight forward and explained everything and made sure I understood. Throughout the case, he was calm, collective and built a very strong case for us. Even though our case should have been simple, it of course was not. Because the case John built, we got a very fair and good deal for us. His rates are very fair. I completely recommend John to anyone who is going though the divorce process. He is fantastic! 5 out of 5 stars!

As clients of the Abeel Firm, we give the firm a 5 star rating. In February of 2021, we had an ongoing case of 4 years with another firm, which we were going nowhere with. I was talking with a close friend about it, and they referred us to The Abeel Firm. Mr. John Abeel met with us, and he took our case. I have to say The Abeel Firm is a professional firm, Mr. Abeel listens to what you have to say, is caring and to the point. He does not leave a stone unturned, he has an easy disposition to discuss matters with, and the research he does for your case is outstanding. Mr. Abeel is always in touch with you to keep you updated about your case. There was never a time where weeks would go by without an update from Mr. Abeel. Needless to say, after being strung along for 4 years by another firm, The Abeel Firm and Mr. Abeel had the case taken care of in our favor in 5 months. We are one happy family, especially my 88 year old dad which this case was against. As we were told in the past "You think this is a "Slam Dunk" case" by the former attorney:::well with Mr. Abeel, it was a "Slam Dunk" case! The Abeel Firm is a 5 Star Class Act, and in our eyes, we would give it a (10) rating. Would we refer The Abeel Firm ABSOLUTELY!
