  • We Are Selective About How Many Clients We Help Each Month

    Each month, our attorneys  are selective on how many cases we take. We limit our caseload so we can give as much attention as possible to each and every client we accept. We prefer working with less clients, in order to get better results for all of our clients. Unlike many other attorneys, we don’t assign paralegals and non-attorneys to handle the bulk of our work. Our dedicated NYC divorce lawyers do the majority of the work on your case. When you hire us, you have our lawyers expertise on your case. Our divorce firm understands that the lawyer you hire - can be more important than the divorce itself. We recognize a divorce is a turning point in your life. We treat your case, as if it were our own case - we give it the same level of attention to detail.
  • Risk Free Consultation

    Our divorce attorneys offer a free consultation, in person or over the phone. During this consultation you can ask us virtually anything about your case. We explain your legal rights, what your next moves should be. By taking this consultation, you have no obligation to work with us. If you take this consultation, we firmly believe you’ll get the no-nonsense advice you’re looking for. In order to start working with us, give us a call - or fill out the contact form. Our law firm has 3 convenient locations in: NYC, Nassau County, or Suffolk County. We can meet you at whichever location you'd like. Once you sign up with us as a client, we can meet you even at your place of business - if that’s easier. Our team of NYC divorce attorneys has immense experience handling tough, and complex, cases. We have over 50 years of combined experience, and during this time we’ve seen some of the toughest, most litigious, and most shocking divorce situations. The one thing that’s remained the same - is our dedication and the great results we’ve gotten in each case. Our divorce lawyers are frequently interviews by the media, and we’re extremely well respected by judges, and other attorneys alike. As a firm founded by 2 former New York Prosecutors, we bring an aggressive and unyielding approach to each case we handle.
  • Divorce Mediation

    Many spouses look at divorce as a contentious issue. They immediately act like they are at war. Contrary to popular belief, divorce mediation can work. While many divorces in NY are contested; it’s possible to avoid legal fees with an uncontested divorce in New York. Mediation is a great way to avoid emotional and financial hurdles, that arise in divorce. Lawyers will tell you that it’s always a good idea – to keep a divorce drama free. If you engage in divorce mediation, you can get legally divorced – with a fraction of the cost. We highly recommend doing mediation, instead of going to war – since it’s emotionally and financially better.  Our lawyers are trained to handle voluntary, and court-mandated, mediations. Our job as your advocate, is to help you take advantage of this chance to avoid litigation, and to work out your issues in a peaceful manner. We can help you engage in divorce mediation, before the the court orders mediation to begin – and before it becomes contentious. Our family lawyers help clients make the most of their mediation. We help clients get an out-of-court settlement to help avoid future litigation. We can do this before the situation escalates.

    Are some divorce cases harder than others?

No divorce is final, until outstanding issues like assets, debt, spousal support, alimony, etc, are handled. In the event you, and your spouse, don’t agree on a settlement for these issues – you’ll have to resolve these matters. Sometimes, couples are unable to agree on these issues – outside of court, and thus it becomes a contested divorce. If these aren’t resolved, a judge will decide on them for you. These are typically the tougher cases most people think about, when thinking about divorce. The good thing is, we can help you with these tough cases. Our family law attorneys are proficient, and competent, in handling all types of cases – even contested divorces. We have many trial lawyers who work with us – and our firm has a strong reputation in courts. We firmly believe that success, in the legal arena – comes from being both aggressive, and passive. Fire and ice. Our contested divorce lawyers  know when to be aggressive, fiery, and fierce – and in addition, know when to back off. No case is too hard – we use the right strategy, at the right time – in order to get you results. If the opposing party isn’t being cooperative, we aren’t afraid of taking a tough stance, and being aggressive. Our attorneys in NYC have the skills, experience, dedication, and enthusiasm necessary to protect your rights inside – and outside – the legal arena.

Is a prenup important

Getting married is a great thing – but it’s equally important to protect yourself. It’s crucial you protect yourself, and all of your assets – present, and future, from the uncertainties of divorce. If you’re looking to get married, we encourage you to speak to one of our prenup agreement attorneys, who can advise you on what assets you can protect – and the best method of protecting them. We help you use the law – to protect yourself from future divorce related litigation. Each client has unique circumstances – our attorneys job is to help prepare you for the worst. We can help facilitate the dialogue you should have with your spouse, when considering a prenup agreement. We are confident, and comfortable, that premarital consulting with our attorneys is the smart choice.
