• “When I contacted Schoonmaker George, I first spoke with Rachel. She was so kind and helpful on the phone, and connected me to Natassia. Natassia was clear and direct, yet incredibly kind. She guided me through a very challenging situation with such expertise. One of the things that stand out is how she handled everything with such calm and support. Even in the most stressful moments, she kept me grounded. Her knowledge and ability to communicate effectively were key in helping me understand the process.

  She has this ability to be so tough, so direct and so freaking knowledgeable. I could always see where my case was going and she prepared me every step of the way.

  I tend to get emotional and wrapped up and animated, but she was OK with that, too. She’s very understanding. She has this ability to not get ruffled. And it’s not in a robotic calm. It’s a supportive, understanding, calm nature, even keeled. I never felt judged. I always felt comfortable going to her with even some of the craziest stuff that was going through my head. She’s very personable in terms of that. To find all those qualities in one person is just very unique. She has every kind of quality you can imagine that you would need in this kind of situation.

  My daughters are in a much better situation now. Natassia fought for a gradual and slow process, which ultimately helped us achieve a much better outcome than I could have anticipated. I always felt taken care of, and the level of communication was exceptional. Rachel and Natassia are like my heroes. They helped me through the most difficult year of my life. I feel truly lucky to have had them by my side during this time.” – Katie, Former Client  

   

• “I was referred to the firm by a friend, and from the very beginning, I felt comfortable and supported, thanks especially to Jill and Natassia. They truly listened to me, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure I understood every step of the process. Filing for divorce was deeply personal and entirely unfamiliar territory for me, but I never felt alone in it.

  Over the course of nearly two years, I worked closely with Natassia. Natassia was incredibly patient, respectful, and always clear and direct in her communication. She welcomed my questions, explained everything thoroughly, and prepared me for every stage, even going to court. Nothing ever felt like a surprise, which brought me so much peace in an uncertain time.

  What stood out most was how consistently professional and respectful everyone was. Whether I was working with Natassia, Jill, Rachel, or Aidan, every interaction reflected the supportive culture of the firm. That consistency was comforting and made a huge difference for me.

  An important part of the process for me was thinking about my children and trying to keep their well-being at the forefront. Natassia helped me do that, not just in practical terms but in how I approached everything—from keeping communication open to staying mindful of their needs. It meant a lot to me that I could lead with their best interest and feel good about how we moved through the process.

  Looking back, I honestly wouldn’t have changed a thing. I’m so grateful to have worked with Natassia and the firm. They listened, supported, and educated me every step of the way, and I always felt like I was in good hands. I have so much respect for the team and appreciation for the care they brought to such a personal and emotional time in my life.” – Previous Client
