Marc Fleisher

Marc Fleisher specializes in helping clients achieve divorce settlements without court intervention, primarily as a divorce mediator, negotiator, and collaborative divorce practitioner. He also assists clients in negotiating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and settling matters involving custody and child support.

Marc began his career as a litigation associate at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton and Garrison. He went to the elite Career Criminal bureau at the Manhattan District Attorney's office, and then joined the faculty at Brooklyn Law School before becoming a divorce and family mediator in 1994.
