Client Testimonials for New York Lawyer Carl Birman
With over three decades of experience in criminal defense, family law, and appellate litigation, Carl D. Birman, a New York lawyer, has earned the trust and respect of clients across the entire state. His dedication to justice, compassionate counsel, and strategic advocacy have helped individuals and families navigate some of life’s most difficult legal challenges.
But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what Carl’s clients have to say:

My wife and I have been working on a Child Custody Case with Carl for some time now. Yes, it’s a slow process especially when the Court system, and or rather certain Judges, seem to only want to attempt to reunite absentee biological parents with children who literally do not know them or who they even are.
Carl is a straight shooter and has the knowledge as well as the ability to do what needs to be done when it comes to this or any Court case or trial.
Carl is very passionate about what he does, how well he does it, and truly has a heart, and it certainly shows when we speak either in person or over the phone. I must sign this anonymously due to the nature of our up and coming trial and ongoing court case but I feel that that is an injustice to Carl, and for that I do apologize.
One day, sooner rather than later I hope, I will edit this to include my full name and contact information because I truly believe in Carl and will tell anyone who is hesitant myself.

When Carl Birman became my lawyer, it was in the immediate aftermath of an ugly divorce case that had gone badly for me.
My ex-wife was fabricating outrageous abuse allegations against me and she was attempting to turn all three of my children against me. She was succeeding…. Not only that, but a concerted effort by her aggressive lawyer, together with an apathetic attorney for my children, was pushing the kids further and further away from me. In reality, she was horribly neglecting the children at the same time.
But because Carl Birman and other professionals believed in me, the momentum of the case shifted completely against my ex-wife and she was exposed to be the fraud she really is. I obtained full custody of my youngest child and the other children came back into my life. I got my family back and I can’t thank Carl enough for not giving up and for all his hard work over a two-year period.
He is a true compassionate fighter. He also understands what fathers go through in the family court system.

When I retained Carl Birman to handle my family court matter, my family was in crisis. My son had been kidnapped and abducted across the country by his mother. To make matters worse, I was being accused of heinous acts that never happened. My son’s mother fabricated these horrific stories due to her own mental illness, creating a false narrative used by family court to gain a tactical advantage against me and against my son’s best interests.
I was desperate and in complete despair. Carl believed in me and knew I was right. Thanks to Carl’s determined advocacy, this nightmare was turned around. I went from not being able to see my son at all and being constantly investigated by Child Protective Services, to gaining exclusive custody of my precious son.
His mother was restricted for many years to therapeutic supervised visitation. Order in my son’s life was restored. Carl Birman is the man that ushered this change in custody, therefore protecting my son’s young life. Thanks to Carl, my boy is thriving to this very day.
Carl also handled my divorce from my son’s mother and did so in a professional and fair manner.
He was with me every step of the way. I cannot recommend highly enough the services of Carl Birman. If you are in crisis and need the help of an experienced litigator who truly cares and fights for you, Mr. Birman is the one. Realistic and fair, he knows the law and prepares for each court appearance with grit and determination. Best of all, he wins.
