About Steven

Steven R. Rubenstein was a founding partner of Meyerson, Fox, Mancinelli & Conte, P.A. and remains Counsel to the firm. His practice has focused on family law for most of his career. He has handled thousands of divorce cases. He is certified by the State of New Jersey as a matrimonial law attorney, and he is also certified as a divorce mediator. Mr. Rubenstein is generally considered to be one of the premier divorce mediators in Bergen County and is a founding member of the New Jersey Collaborative Law Group. He has been named a Ten Leaders of Matrimonial & Divorce Law of Northern New Jersey and a New Jersey Super Lawyer.

In 1992, Mr. Rubenstein and his partner, Lawrence N. Meyerson, represented Hana Fhima, a Rockland County, New York woman in a highly publicized custody case in which her son, Shai Fhima Rueven, was abducted by an orthodox rabbi in Brooklyn. The son was missing for two years, and when he was finally located, Mr. Rubenstein and Mr. Meyerson represented Hana in a protracted but ultimately successful custody litigation case.

Mr. Rubenstein and partner, Lawrence Meyerson, founded the firm in September 1988 and have practiced continuously together for 30 years.

I have been practicing law for 50 years, the last 48 of which have been as a family lawyer in New Jersey. I built my practice by being honest and forthright with my clients about their cases and the various options available to them to resolve it in the most efficient and least expensive process. I encourage settlement as the most viable option. I believe that family law cases should, to the extent possible, be resolved by settlement. I encourage mediation or a collaborative approach, rather than costly, time consuming and often unsatisfactory litigation. I am both a mediator and practice collaborative divorce. I am one of the founding members of the North Jersey Collaborative Divorce Association. I do not charge for an initial conversation, either in person or by telephone, during which I will explore options and make recommendations about how I would suggest proceeding.
