Rosenthal Law & Mediation

Rosenthal Law & Mediation Compassionate lawyer, divorce mediator, and educator. I also an adjunct professor at the CUNY School of Law (my alma mater).

I started practicing family law by representing children in family court in 1997, and founded Rosenthal Law & Mediation in 2006. I approach my work with empathy, compassion, legal knowledge and skill. I understand that nothing is more important than the emotional, financial and spiritual health of your family.

Here's what one of my clients said:

“Joy was very patient, always responsive, knowledgeable, and sincere! She explained to me the legal aspects of the document that I didn’t fully understand, walked me through different scenarios that could arise in the future, and looked at possible situations from another angle. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a truly professional lawyer!” —KV

Mediation isn't about being "best friends" with your ex. It’s a facilitated negotiation where a neutral professional helps you settle. It’s often faster, less expensive, and keeps you in control of the outcome—rather than leaving it to a judge.
