Top Divorce Lawyers Near Me in Hauppauge Area

I promise to give you my honest and realistic assessment of your situation and offer what I believe is the best legal and practical approach, drawing on my knowledge of the relevant law, and decades of experience with the procedures and personalities in the courtroom.. Since handling my own divorce thirty years ago, I have devoted my practice to matrimonial and family law on Long Island, representing business owners, executives, teachers, police officers, doctors, attorneys, homemakers, union members, and firefighters.  I have handled hundreds of divorce and family law cases, negotiating favorable settlements for most, and proceeding to trial when necessary, and have prevailed on numerous divorce, child support, and child custody appeals.. I was born and raised on Long Island.  I graduated from Half Hollow Hills High School, and earned my undergraduate degree, cum laude, in 1986 from SUNY Stony Brook.  I attended Hofstra University School of Law, where I was editor of the Hofstra Environmental Law Digest, and earned my law degree in 1989.  I was admitted to the New York Bar in 1990, and started my own practice in 1992.

Divorce, domestic breakups, and family disputes are difficult in many ways, and that is why I believe that there are no substitutes for attorney accessibility, dedication of time and effort to a client's cause, and a commitment to a deep knowledge of the law to help you move forward with confidence. The legal process can be very unpleasant even in a non-complex case, and spending money on lawyers when often, you did nothing "wrong," can be hard. I emphasize guiding you through the legal system and its processes with honesty to ensure that you know what to expect at each stage and also that you have frequent access to your lawyer. These are vital ingredients that allow my team and me to aggressively advocate for you and always with the most personalized approach possible. Every divorce case is different, so the legal approach should never be "boilerplate" or "cookie cutter." We take the time to think carefully and creatively, while also learning about you, to then develop the right strategy for your divorce. This has contributed to a long track record of successful settlements, favorable outcomes after many trials, and frequent wins in the appellate courts, both when overturning harmful errors by trial judges and when defending against an appeal after you won your case but still under attack from your ex. I evaluate every case from the moment you contact us, and I believe in continually re-evaluating our approach to be sure that you are getting true value from our legal services and to help achieve your goals.
