Maria Schwartz is a divorce and family law attorney with nearly 20 years of experience in transitioning men and women from marriage to divorce.  She began her practice immediately upon graduation from law school and admission to the New York State Bar.  Electing to "hang a shingle" for herself, she immediately went into the trenches of divorce where she singlehandedly dealt with the demands of a growing practice, fragile clients, and tough adversaries. Drive, pressure to survive and determination to be among "the best" led the way to successful and steady growth of her career. Like her clients and more than 50% of the country's married population, she too divorced and found herself a single mother to three daughters. This personal experience not only furthered her understanding of divorce but enabled her to truly appreciate and empathize with her clients. Her approach to divorce and clients is straight-up and no-nonsense.

Firm: Wisselman Harounian Family Law

346 Westbury Avenue , Carle Place , New York 11514

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

Partner, Wisselman Harounian Family Law, well respected family law firm since 1976. I offer free consultations.. Compromise does not necessarily equate to surrender.  All too frequently, I have to remind clients that compromising on an issue means giving in a little on some issues to gain a little on others.  The negotiation process is a dance of give and take and should result in a final agreement that is acceptable to both parties, each having compromised on issues less important to them to gain on the more important issues.  As a matrimonial and family law attorney, I believe this is the most effective way to guide my clients through a very troublesome time in their life in order that they can more quickly put it behind them.. On the other hand, some cases can't be settled, sometimes because of the difficulty in reaching a compromise, or for other reasons.  Nothing can take the place of a tough litigator fighting for your rights.
