of Adam J. Berner
With 20 years of experience in family law and mediation, Adam Berner expertly guides clients through the difficult situation of divorce to reach the best possible resolutions. A leading attorney-mediator in New York and New Jersey, Adam utilizes his extensive training in mediation and collaborative law to help families that do not wish to escalate their conflicts find respectful solutions.

Adam is committed to helping clients settle their divorces out of court, believing collaboration and mediation are effective even in the most complex cases because they allow for creative problem-solving and carefully informed decision-making.
