Ms. Spielberg has a particular focus on custody matters involving neurodivergent children, leveraging her deep knowledge and extensive network of professionals in mental health and education to create long-term parenting solutions that prioritize the child’s well-being and development.

She is a seasoned trial attorney with a proven track record of favorable outcomes in high-asset and high-conflict litigation. At the same time, she is deeply attuned to the human side of family law, bringing empathy, discretion, and clarity to clients navigating trauma, betrayal, and uncertainty. Her ability to balance litigation prowess with emotional intelligence is a key reason that clients — including executives, entrepreneurs, and public figures — seek her out when everything is on the line.

Ms. Spielberg is frequently sought out by media outlets and legal publications for her insights on cutting-edge family law issues. She has been interviewed for podcasts, industry articles, and mainstream outlets such as the New York Post, and is a frequent speaker at CLEs, including  “Best Practices of Drafting Settlement Agreements in Matrimonial Actions” hosted by the New Rochelle Bar Association and Westchester Black Bar Association.
