“Mr. Leonidas you are not my client NOT WE’RE you ever my client.”
Firstly you should check your grammar... I have also met you in person. Secondly my wife, not I requested those changes from you. You did not comply with your clients wishes at which point if you were not willing to make the changes. You should have returned her retainer and told her that you could not represent her.
I also read your reviews and most of them are from men... that your template is a standard legal document designed for men.... the following reviews from people you represented poorly.
“He made up stories about the opposing attorney and had the nerve to tell me, " whatever you do, don't talk to your wife about this because she can record it and use it against you". He said that we had no choice but to go to trial and an agreement was never going to work. I had a signed mutual agreement(exactly as requested) two days after i fired him. Shameful”
“Be careful, He took a $6,000 retainer, filed for my divorce and was supposed to have my H serviced. I fired him a week after he filed because he didn’t serve my H. He was rude when I called him, he never returned my important calls (this all the first week that I hired him). I had an order of protection and was quite scared. Communication regarding my H being served was imperative. I fired Ian 9 days after I retained him. He never sent me a bill, wouldn’t return my text or calls regarding my $6,000 retainer.
This took place in January 2019 & I’m still trying to get back my $6,000.
I would say to any female that wants to retain him.... DONT! He took advantage of me at my most vulnerable and frightening time in my life.”
“I retained Ian for a prenup agreement. He clearly just plugged in my name into a form as the pronouns were all incorrect (it was clearly written for a man) and as a result one section gave my fiancé all rights to gifts he previously gave me. After I had to correct the typos four times, Ian blamed his secretary and stated that he doesn’t fix typos until I come in to sign. That’s ridiculous as my fiancé’s lawyer needed to review this document as well. The final straw was a phone conversation in which he yelled at me as if I was a child. He’s completely unprofessional and I do not recommend him.”
“If I could give Mr. Mednick zero stars I WOULD. I was never married to my ex, this was not a divorce case yet somehow my bill wound up being nearly $40,000 with NO TRIAL. I am a single mom of a baby girl and I have no income. He has now claimed to have sent my file to a collections attorney which legally he can’t do until he sends me notice of arbitration. Which he did not do. And even then I have 30 days to respond. He uses scare tactics so that you’ll pay his ridiculous fees and he delays your case for months to incur more charges. He did literally nothing for me or my case. Furthermore he sent me a text that he meant to send someone else, cursing me out. I would have never hired this man.”
Apparently you breach confidentiality, you don’t verify things before you submit them and you have cursed out your clients. That falls under the category of a low level “attorney”
He is now representing me in my latest modification petition and his representation has been nothing short of exemplary. Mr. Mednick over the years has not only been an attorney for me but he has become a close friend through these many years and numerous post judgment applications. As to anyone who questions his loyalty to his clients does not truly know him and is not providing a full picture of the attorney that he is. He has done more for me and my family than I could ever thank him for.
This took place in January 2019 & I’m still trying to get back my $6,000.

Recently I tracked down Ian Mednick and asked him for his help with an appeal to a pension matter. His appeal was written brilliantly. The matter has been resolved to my liking. Ian is caring, professional and was always prompt with a call back or email.
Thank you,
Kathleen M.
I made an appointment with Ian and when I met him, he assured me that what I am asking for is fair for both sides and everything will work out. There were a lot of ups and downs emotionally, in addition to the multiple court dates, holidays...etc. Ian was always focused and reassuring. Fast forward almost one year later and he was right!! My daughter and I got everything we wanted and an agreement that was fair to both parties (even though my ex doesn’t think so)!!
I would recommend Ian to anyone in a similar situation. There is a reason why he has received numerous awards along with being recognized for his outstanding work. Thank you very much Ian!!!
Ian is thorough, organized, and the right amount of aggressive to get your divorce settled. I highly recommend Ian Mednick.
That's right - we were near the end of the process putting on the finishing touches and we had some last minute questions for him to explain - AND HE STOPPED ANSWERING US LEAVING US HIGH AND DRY.
Also he does not explain why you should change the agreement in certain ways or what it does..merely that you should.
Would not recommend.
Thank you Ian for all you have done for me and my kids and for all you are continuing to do for us! Melanie
I have a background in Arbitration.I am a representative of over one thousand members. I have high expectations when it comes to representation.When you are fighting to maintain everything you are entitled to or worked hard for, there is no room for a complacent attorney.When you are making decisions that impact your future and the future of your children, you must have an attorney who is proactive and forthright, always keeping your best interest at the forefront of this grueling process.
This is what you will find in Ian Mednick.I highly recommend his ability to represent you!
Ian immediately reassured him that her allegations were clearly fabricated, because they were so ambiguous. He fought for joint custody, the time with the children divided equally. He fought hard to prove that she intentionally quit her job in order to make my boyfriend pay far more than his fair share. At one point during the proceedings, my boyfriend’s ex-wife denied his weekend visitation, unless her petty demands were met. Ian scheduled an emergency meeting with the judge, cleared up the issue and there was no further interference with his visitation.
Ian immediately addressed all the issues as they arose, he fought hard and maintained a no nonsense approach. He did not waste any time on the nonsense that he knew the judge would not entertain. He stuck to the core issues. As a result, my boyfriend has joint custody and physical custody 50% of the time. Ian was able to prove to the judge that my boyfriend’s ex-wife intentionally quit her job to sabotage her income. As a result, his ex was ordered to divide the joint expenses for the children according to her original full time income, not the part time income when she appeared in court. My boyfriend kept his pension and only had to pay 10% of her attorney’s fees.
In April 2013, my boyfriend’s ex-wife filed a case in family court, claiming that he owes her a mere $1,400 and again is attempting to restrict his time and communication with his children. Meanwhile, she currently owes him over $10,000, according to the judge’s pendente lite order. My boyfriend and I turned to Ian Mednick for assistance in this issue. Because family court has no jurisdiction over the divorce decree & pendente lite order, we retained Ian for the second time and moved the entire case up to Supreme Court to deal with all the financial and custodial issues. Ian did not try to sell us on this decision, he provided all of the pros & cons honestly and said it was ‘up to us’.
Ian is a highly experienced and skilled litigator. I would highly recommend him for any divorce, family or custodial issues. He will address all of your concerns and be honest about the potential outcome. His rates are very fair for the high quality of representation you will receive.

Mr, Mednick represented me in my divorce and stood by me every step of the way. Every call was returned promptly, and his dedication to your individual needs is second to none.
At the end of my divorce, I obtained custody of both my daughter and my son.
Throughout the entire divorce process Mr. Mednick listened to my concerns and acted in the utmost professional manor. I have the highest regard and confidence in his ability to handle the most difficult of cases, and mine being one of them.
If you are traveling down the unfortunate road of divorce, your final stop is with Mr. Mednick

I would highly recommend Ian Mednick to anyone who finds themselves in need of legal representation.
that Mr. Mednick will resolve the issues at hand in a timely and efficient manner. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Mr. Mednick as a fine Divorce Attorney.

I chose Ian Mednick to represent me and have never regretted it since. He has treated me like family from the first consultation to the final judgement of divorce from the judge.
Through the course of my divorce action I had several issues that needed to be addressed without delay. I brought my concerns to Ian and within 24 hours he had an emergency meeting scheduled with the judge for me; and in post judgement concerns brought by my ex-wife he consolidated all matters from multiple court dates into one and has resolved all matters without compromising my concerns and holding the line on costs. I explained to him early on that money is a concern, considering child support is inevitable. Ian never pursued anything unrealistic or made empty promises to pad his bill.
Now I have joint custody of my beautiful children, and a new start on life without being bankrupt. All matters regarding my divorce resolved to my satisfaction and without a doubt this wouldn't have been possible without being represent by Ian S. Mednick, a consummate professional who's business is family law and who made me feel like family through it all.
