  • “I’ve spent some of the worst moments of my life with Briana Denney. And if I had to choose, I’d do it all over again.

    For the uninitiated, a divorce and custody battle is a protracted journey through hell, in which your constant companions are gnawing anxiety, sleepless nights, and a churning fear of the unknown.

    Briana got me through it. She’s a whip-smart lawyer, provides wise counsel, and seems to always know what the other side is going to do before they do it. But there’s more. I’ve seen lawyers who appear calloused and vengeful in the brutal arena of a divorce case. Briana, by contrast, is in touch with her humanity. And she brings a wry sense of humor to the often absurd proceedings in court.”

  • “When I was looking for a divorce attorney to represent me, I wanted someone who understood the New York divorce and matrimonial legal world intimately, was well...

    …respected by their peers and would work tirelessly to represent my best interests. Briana Denney was recommended to me as that person and I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent me.

    Briana represented me through a long and messy process, and at all times was an excellent listener, professional and skilled negotiator and incredibly compassionate human being. Throughout the process, Briana was assertive in dealing with opposing counsel, and understanding and patient in dealing with me, while never losing her sense of humor. Briana’s expert guidance and advice, calm demeanor and professional approach made this incredibly stressful experience as positive as one could hope for.

    Briana genuinely cares about her clients and is skilled in negotiating positive outcomes and balancing that with the best interests of the family. I have the utmost confidence in Briana’s abilities and would not hesitate in highly recommending her.”

  • “I consulted with many divorce attorneys before retaining Briana Denney to represent me.

    Anyone contemplating divorce must weigh both the personally emotional challenges and the financial consequences of ending a marriage. I chose Ms. Denney because she was the only attorney who took the time to appreciate and understand my unique perspective even if it adversely affected my financial well-being. She told me "we will make it work your way." I left my consultation feeling far more confident and far less anxious than I felt going in. And, in the end, we did make it work my way! I ended up with a divorce settlement that provided everything I initially wanted!

    Throughout my divorce proceedings, which included the negotiation of distribution of multiple retirement investments and the sale of real properties owned in the United States and overseas, Ms. Denney kept me fully apprised of my options, legally and procedurally, and patiently explained the pros and cons of each (financially and strategically). Without pressure, I was able to make fully informed decisions that I was comfortable with. Ms. Denney was always accessible, returning my messages promptly. She consistently provided sound advice and guidance and kept me up to date with regard to the status of proceedings. I got through what is, for most anyone, an incredibly emotional, life-changing event, with minimal added stress. I credit that to always knowing that Ms. Denney is not only an exceptionally skilled and knowledgeable lawyer, but that she is also a compassionate, genuine, person who always had my best interests at heart.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Denney to anyone needing a divorce lawyer!”

  • Briana Denney handled my divorce in a very professional, attentive manner.

    She listened and understood what the monetary value would be for me to continue my life in the same manner that I had grown accustomed. She was forceful but not aggressive and very respectful to both parties which made my transition into a second chapter in my life very easy and uneventful. I would highly recommend her services.

  • Attorney Denney was absolutely amazing during the most difficult time in my life.

    She was extremely responsive, and never hesitated to provide support during time-sensitive situations. I never doubted that she was advocating for my best interest and the best interest of my children. She knows the courts, the parent coordinators, and every other person/system connected to the divorce process which was also very helpful. Briana did everything she could to keep my case from going to trial, but I knew she wouldn’t back down if we needed to. I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done for me and my kids.
