I'm so glad that someone else got scammed by this lawyer and has reported it on the world wide web. There are no words to describe the destruction this Joan Salwen in Scarsdale NY has done to families in Westchester.

She is careless, mean, low, stupid, and heartless. She sleeps well taking children away from their loving parents. She is a low life. This is what she does in life.

Representing children and then does not really listen to the child. For her this is a game and she is paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for it.

Low life garbage is what they say on the internet and its true. I agree with the other review, she should be disbarred.

You really need to work on your English before calling someone stupid. I am sure she is WAY SMARTER THAN YOU.

When you pass high school English, then you can call people stupid. But, you obviously have not passed first-grade English.. World Wide Web should start with all in capital letters. You should have used a comma after she works well, taking away children from their parents.

You used this when you should have used the word THAT. You are missing commas. Lowlife is ONE word. You should have used a comma between Scardale and NY.

The word "it's"needs an apostrophe. You are garbage, and maybe it is best that your children were taken from you.

You are a terrible person and a bad role model. And judging from your many spelling errors, YOU ARE STUPID.

I have to agree with the person who wrote with all those spelling mistakes, this lawyer Joan Salwen is proly the person Angelik Kzs. She sounds pissed.

And no one should be that pissed unless it's Joan Salwen. This is how I see it: if you gonna get brain surgery would you go to your surgeon's basement office? No right? Get a real lawyer.

Fighting for child custody up in Westchester County is a racket, all those lawyers know each other and after you spend a hundred thousand dollars to them they force you to settle.

Get a lawyer in Manhattan who doesn't know any of them. That way he or she is not beholden to kissing anyone's *** up there.

Totally agree with all the negative reviews. She's not that smart.

There are a LOT better lawyers that charge just the same. And they don't talk like chickens quacking.

Well, you are not that smart either. You should have said WHO CHANGE, not THAT CHANGE. Also, nice that you agree with yourself.

Guest

If you have a complaint about an attorney, file it with your state bar association. Don't commit libel on a public website.

Shut up. Sounds like you read the complaint and can't handle the truth and it's probably you and not a "guest".

This is a public consumer site that gets millions of visitors per year. You can't ignorantly assume anyone responding to you is the person you are whining about. I hope you get sued.

Well, technically, they cannot sue for saying she is the attorney. But the fact that this STUPID IDIOT is lying shows that she is not a good parent, and it is good that her children were taken from her.

Her lying and saying the guest is this attorney makes me wonder WHAT OTHER LIES SHE IS TELLING. SHE IS TOO STUPID TO FIGURE OUT THAT IF THAT GUEST WERE HER, SHE WOULD NOT ENCOURAGE HER TO REPORT HERSELF. SHE IS TOO STUPID TO FIGURE OUT THAT THIS ATTORNEY HAS NO IDEA THIS COMPANY EXISTS.

I am glad her children were taken from her. She is a LIAR and is going to teach them that lying is acceptable She needs someone to use the whip on her for lying.

OH YOU STUPID IDIOT GROW UP. If they were the attorney in question, would they really be encouraging you to report them?

That would be STUPID and only YOU ARE STUPID. Besides, you STUPID IDIOT, this is not a popular site and chances are she does not know you are posting here.

YOU ARE A LIAR AND A POOR ROLE MODEL. NO WONDER YOUR KIDS WERE TAKEN FROM YOU.

Guest

If you hire this so called lawyer this is what you get: A snake. She couldn't give a *** about you as a client. First chance she will get she will turn your back on you and eff you.

Not smart. Get a smart lawyer, not her.

More importantly: she cares more about kissing up to the judges and to the opposing lawyer than you.

This lady does NOT have your best interests at heart. Trust me on that.

I totally agree. She's useless and dumb. Get a smart lawyer in Manhattan that is not beholden to the other lawyers in White Plains.

Her ia a THIRD attempt to make it seem like people are siding with you. Why, you even made the EXACT SAME ENGLISH ERROR, by using the term that is" rather than who is.

How many accounts are you going to make to make it look like people are siding with your complaint? It is obvious you are behind all the people who are "agreeing with you?

You have the same terrible English. Here, you have a missing comma and a double space between two words.

Guest

She is the worst. Dumb as a rock, disorganized, no one in the courthouse likes her.

Joan Salwen is a predator, STAY AWAY from this slime bucket. She practices, errrr, "law" from the basement of her HOUSE.

That's who you getting. She does not even have the money to have a REAL office, she's too cheap to rent one. I agree with the other reviews that she tawks like a a chicken, "yo awnnerrrr (Your honor)", and she lies and exaggerates in front of the judge about things she calls facts which are not facts, they are up in that bucket of slime she calls her head.

She will talk about an issue wihtout knowing any of hte facts, just a big, stupid blabbermouth. There are much better lawyers out there, you don't need this garbage can of chicken brains.

Review about Protection Order from Arlington, Virginia

The above review is total nonsense. I retained Ms.

Salwen in 2010 for a very messy child custody and frivolous claims against me by ex wife of child abuse and neglect. My ex wife attempted to have a protection order placed against me from Virginia in the NY courts. Joan had all complaints and issues completely dismissed in court. Joan is a hard charging attorney who is well recognized throughout the Westchester courts as a fighter for her clients.

It sounds as if this persons review is based on the feelings of the outcome of their hearing.

All an attorney does is present the facts of the case. Maybe your opponent just had better facts.

JOAN SALWEN Lawyer

BEWARE of this human garbage can. She is a lawyer who couldn't care less about you as a client, she is conniving, and frankly ***.

She has a blabber mouth, half the stuff from her lips sounds like chicken noises. She is in all frankness, to be avoided. HUMAN GARBAGE. She can't make a complete sentence without making a mistake on the law.

she has no descency when it comes to the facts and then she doesnt even know the judges she is not liked by ANY OF THE OTHER DIVORCE LAWYERS IN SCARSDALE or WHITE PLAINS, she is total waste of your hard earned money.

This is so unlike the attorney I know that it's comical! Good luck finding a better one then...

Guest

You say she can't even make a complete sentence without making a mistake on the law. Yet your complaint is so full of errors, that it sounds like you don't know what you are talking about.

gerald claude

You call her a Lawyer....yet you categorize your rant in "Cleaning Services"....WTH.....sounds like you did not get your way in a divorce settlement?
