Biography Submit listing

Paul Roitshtein, Esq. represents clients in divorce, family, and criminal matters. He is an experienced litigator and regularly appears before the Supreme, Family, and Criminal Courts of New York City.

Mr. Roitshtein handles all aspects of divorce and family matters. He has experience in property and debt division, alimony ("spousal support"), the support and custody of children, and family offenses (also known as "orders of protection"). He also has experience in matters involving hidden income and high net worth. Mr. Roitshtein encourages low conflict solutions where possible.

Mr. Roitshtein also handles all forms of criminal defense matters, including misdemeanor, felony, and domestic violence cases. Most cases settle without trial, whereas others demand aggressive representation from the outset. Serious matters may present the possibility of incarceration. No two cases are alike and Mr. Roitshtein encourages a tailored approach.

Before opening his own practice, Mr. Roitshtein was an associate attorney for six years at Richardson Legal PLLC, the boutique New York City matrimonial and criminal practice led by Morghan Leia Richardson, Esq. While there he handled a wide variety of divorce, family, and criminal matters through trial.

Mr. Roitshtein also previously served as judicial law clerk to the Hon. Paul M. DePascale, Judge of the Criminal Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey. While there he researched criminal law for the Court.

Mr. Roitshtein is a graduate of Georgetown University and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. In law school Mr. Roitshtein received the award for academic excellence in criminal law. He was named to Super Lawyers' Rising Stars list in 2014.
