Having practiced in this field for nearly a decade, the NUMBER ONE complaint I hear about attorneys is the lack of trust and "my attorney bills me for going to the bathroom.". My clients are refreshingly surprised to hear I do not bill for telephone calls with them.  In order to properly develop a long-lasting and trusting relationship, I don't feel comfortable billing for these conversations.  My clients should feel free to call me when they have questions without feeling pressure that they're "on the clock."

Adelola Dow

Firm: Dow Divorce Law, P.L.L.C.
900 South Avenue , Staten Island , New York 10314
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
Divorce and family law issues can be difficult to navigate without the use of skilled legal counsel. As the child of divorced parents, and having initiated my own divorce, I understand the importance of counseling my clients on methods they can use to move their divorce along in a manner which does not negatively impact their children or their dignity. I also understand the fear that often comes by engaging in this foreign process and know full well how to help you harness that fear by turning it into power while you navigate through this process.. I founded this law practice to bring integrity to the practice of divorce law in a time when mistrust of divorce lawyers and the matrimonial (divorce) law system is at an all-time high. The training I received as a law clerk and law secretary (Judge’s Personal Attorney) to two divorce/family law judges has given me a unique understanding of the way judges make decisions in family law matters. I pride myself in providing teaching-based representation so that you understand the law and the way it will work in your case. It is that knowledge which we will use to turn your fear of the divorce process into your power as we work together to protect your legal interests and the best interests of your children.. If you aren’t yet married and you want to protect your assets in the event of a divorce, or if you have rekindled a marriage and want to limit the legal argument you would have in the event of an eventual divorce, I will help you craft an agreement which fairly and properly protects your assets and those of your children.. While most cases settle without going to trial, it is important to hire an attorney who can litigate your matter in the event a trial becomes necessary. Skilled litigators can advise you about whether your case has the potential to be litigated and about ways to avoid trial, if that is possible. Approximately 10% of cases go to trial. If your case is one of the 10%, we are here to help.. While I am an adept litigator, I also know that it is important to hire an attorney who can assess when your interests can be better served with non-litigation tactics, such as collaborative law and mediation. I am a trained collaborative divorce lawyer and can help you to navigate the waters of divorce without the cost and emotional expense of litigation.. Born in Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I am a truth-speaker who “keeps it real” even when what I have to say isn’t necessarily what my client wants to hear. I relocated to Staten Island at the age of 16 and attended Wagner College, Grymes Hill, where I received my Bachelor’s degree in English and minored in Sociology. After taking a few years off to sell real estate and save money for law school, I attended the City University School of Law in Flushing, Queens, where I received my Juris Doctorate degree. I have been practicing law for over a decade and enjoy helping and developing long-lasting relationships with my clients. I reside with my husband, Michael E. Dow, Jr., a Staten Island native, and our two children.

I live in Brooklyn, am married and have a son. When I'm not in the office I enjoy the outdoors.  I love astronomy, photograph, biking, snowshoeing, rock scrabling, and most of all hiking, especially in the mountains.  My son and I am a members of the Catskills 3500 Club.  That means that we have hiked all 35 peaks of the Catkills that are over 3,500 feet, and we need 4 of them again in the winter.. When you visit my office you will notice my love of the outdoors and nature.  From the music in my waiting room (and if you are on hold on the the telephone) to the photos that I have taken that are on the walls of my office and the plants.. I became a lawyer in order to help others.  This is one of the ways in which I try to make a positive difference in the world. When you retain our office to represent you, you become more than a client, you become a member of our extended family.  That means that any time you have a legal question, you are just a phone call, email or office visit away from a free consultation to answer your question.

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
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.

Gus Dimopoulos

Firm: Dimopoulos Law Firm P.C.
73 Main Street. , Tuckahoe , New York 10707
Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
Gus Dimopoulos has received nearly every award a matrimonial attorney can earn. He has been named a Super Lawyer by Thomson Reuters each year since 2019 in field of matrimonial law. This honor is bestowed upon less than 5% of the attorneys in the Country and the recipients are vetted through an independent, patent pending selection process. Gus has also been selected as a Lawyer of Distinction in Family Law. He has been selected for membership in Premier Lawyers of America, awarded “10 Best” by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys, and repeatedly received ’s Client Choice Award where he maintains a 10 out of 10 client satisfaction score.. Gus has handled some of the most complicated divorce cases on record and is widely recognized as the go-to attorney when matters seem unsurmountable. He has handled extremely contentious custody cases and has consistently succeeded in securing custody on behalf of his clients when there were no settlement options. Gus’ familiarity and study of mental illness, forensic evaluations, narcissistic personality disorder, coercive control and drug/alcohol issues help him resolve even the most difficult cases. While no one wants to find themselves in custody litigation, the fact of the matter is – it happens. When it does, Gus’ successful track record is unmatched. In fact, other attorneys regularly seek out Gus to handle the custodial aspects of their case, or, bring Gus in---even at the last minute after matters have gone sideways---to conduct custody trials on their client’s behalf. In fact, over the last two years alone, in cases involving mental health issues, Gus has successfully obtained a Supreme Court award of sole custody for his clients on six different occasions (for both mothers and fathers). Beyond trial victories, in countless other cases, Gus successful negotiated his client’s preferred result without the need for a trial and based in part upon his reputation in the court room.. On the financial aspects of divorce, Gus’ successes in the courtroom have resulted in 8-figure equitable distribution awards on the one end, and significantly disproportionate equitable distribution awards far below 50/50 on the other. Gus is recognized as a straight-talking, highly skilled negotiator who is not afraid to take a case to trial. Quick-witted, and a problem solver, his skill often lies in understanding the risk and reward to each party’s positions (and the psychology behind what is prohibiting a settlement). In a fiercely complex financial matter, when millions are at stake, cool minds must prevail. Gus is not a loud and obnoxious lawyer who needs to pound the table – but rather, he’s a thinker who understands that success in the courtroom comes from preparation, an understanding of the law and the facts, and a well-honed strategy. A true trial attorney, Gus is not afraid to try a winnable case – but at the same time, he understands that oftentimes a well-prepared trial strategy and case narrative effectively wins a case by bringing about the desired settlement.. In one notable case in Westchester County, a first of its kind, Gus successfully discredited a court appointed neutral valuation expert, leading the Court to value the business at more than 7-times the expert’s recommended value. The decision, widely recognized as one of the most important equitable distribution decisions in Westchester County, lead to the creation of a first-ever “hybrid” classes of asset—which was necessary to value the asset at its apex for the client. The decision was affirmed by the Appellate Division, Second Department. The court also issued Gus’ client what is possibly the largest counsel fee award ever issued in Westchester County, $1.2 million. The counsel fee award was also affirmed by the Appellate Division, Second Department.. Representing a female client who had amassed tens-of-millions working at a hedge fund, Gus and his co-counsel successfully argued that the Husband’s actions warranted an award of far less than 50% of the marital estate. The Court, chastising the husband for his greed and his inability to trace $14-$15 million of marital assets he removed from marital accounts, issued an order precluding him from offering testimony at trial as to the disposition of these funds. The Court’s preclusion order, in line with Gus’ arguments, ultimately led to favorable settlement just days before the trial began. Earlier in the case, Gus tried the issue of custody and overwhelmingly obtained his client’s preferred custodial access schedule, and an order providing his client will final decision making over educational matters.. Over the course of 20+ years handling complicated divorce matters, Gus has learned the delicate art of managing a crisis. With social media driving the news cycle and social interactions, it takes minutes, not days, for a crisis to develop. In matrimonial law, a crisis can emerge with by an embarrassing social media post, an unpopular news story, or even a threat from a third party to post a salacious photo. Gus understands how to take immediate action to navigate any predicament, implement tactical communication plans, and lead clients through challenging situations—with the goal of always keeping the issue out of Court. Clients routinely turn to Gus before a divorce is commenced to handle the crisis, and work to resolve the matter, with discretion, before either party needs to file for divorce, or a story breaks.. Knowing the law is critical; and we have litigated the “take-down” or prohibition on social media posting during divorce actions extensively. In fact, we recently won the leading case in this area of law. New York Courts routinely strike down orders that prohibit social media posting during divorce actions because the prohibition is deemed a prior restraint on one’s First Amendment right to free speech. However, Gus argued that this particular social media posting negatively impacted the children and his client’s ability to earn a living to support those same children. The Court agreed banned a social media posting to denigrated his client, or discussed the divorce proceeding. The opposing party, appealed the decision and turned to one of the foremost Appellate lawyers (himself a former justice of the Appellate Division, Second Department). However, the decision was affirmed and the ban continued. Since our precedent setting decision in February, 2023, we have been called upon to consult other lawyers looking to provide their clients the same result, and our case has been discussed and analyzed by various bar associations.

Dana Herrington

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
Who Do I Advocate For?. I passionately advocate for clients who are navigating matrimonial, divorce, child custody, child support and spousal support matters.. What Problems Can I Help You Solve?. From financial intricacies involving real estate, bank accounts, and retirement assets to sensitive issues surrounding child custody for both married and unmarried parents, I’m equipped to handle them all.. How Can I Make A Difference For You?. With a dedication to compassion and unmatched thoroughness, I intentionally manage a limited caseload to provide each client with my unwavering attention. I value precision and speed, ensuring your case progresses efficiently. My aim? To alleviate your stress by getting you through the legalities as professionally and promptly as possible.. A Track Record That Speaks For Itself. I’m proud to have been elected as a member of the executive committee on family law within the New York State Bar Association. This esteemed committee is composed of some of the top practitioners in the state and sits at the forefront of shaping and influencing the major legislative changes within matrimonial law.. Seeing as the presence of attorneys from New York City on this committee is particularly strong, I feel that it’s all the more essential for those of us from Western New York to have our voices heard. It is truly an honor for me to participate in this role, allowing me the opportunity to contribute to pivotal decisions that shape the legal landscape of family law in our state.. Some of my other accomplishments include:. Co-chair of the New York State Bar Association’s Child Custody Committee.Recipient of AVVO Client’s Choice Award, 2016 & 2017.Who I AmMy approach to family law is founded on the knowledge that every case is unique. As such, I ask my clients the same fundamental question from the very beginning: “What are your goals?” This question forms the foundation for our legal strategy, guiding us on the type of work required, the strategy we employ, and the timeline necessary to achieve those objectives.. What’s more, I firmly believe in providing a clear and accurate assessment of your options, while avoiding empty promises or sugarcoating the truth. I find it to be my responsibility to offer clients a fair and pragmatic understanding of their situation, along with realistic approaches to help them attain the results they seek.. My firsthand experience with a prolonged divorce has fortified my drive to provide superior representation, especially when children’s well-being is at stake. This empathy, gained from my own personal experience, coupled with a fierce commitment to advocacy is my distinctive blend.. Why I Chose This Path. I became an attorney to help others and act as a voice for those who may feel voiceless. I decided to focus on family law because I saw a need for responsible handling in an area prone to ethical challenges.. Family law cases often involve attorneys who resort to prolonging conflicts, engaging in mudslinging, and fueling disputes. I recognize the potential for problems in this field and understand that an attorney’s approach could significantly impact the case’s outcome.. Today, I work in this field because I believe I can address these sensitive and complex cases with care and a strong moral compass.. My commitment is to uphold the ethical standards of the legal profession while fiercely championing my clients’ cause by providing practical and ethical solutions.. What Makes Me Stand Out. Two distinctive qualities set me apart in the realm of family law. First and foremost, I bring a high level of compassion to every client’s situation, recognizing that they are often going through one of the most challenging times in their lives. I understand the emotional and personal toll these circumstances can take, and I am dedicated to providing the support and empathy that my clients need.. Additionally, I’m a dedicated advocate. Many of the people who seek my assistance may not be used to asserting themselves or fighting for their rights. My clients know that with me by their side, they won’t be pushed over or bullied into an outcome that doesn’t serve their family’s best interests, they’ll have a legal partner who takes their case as seriously as they do.. Ready To Talk?If you’re facing legal challenges and are seeking compassionate, experienced representation, I invite you to take the first step toward resolution. Let’s discuss your unique situation and explore the best path forward.. Your legal solutions start here. Contact me today to schedule a consultation and begin your journey towards a brighter future.
