Our firm’s New York Divorce and Family Law practice includes both litigation and non-litigation avenues. We understand that these life changes can be overwhelming, and we are here to explain the law and to help you through the process. Partners Lorraine R. Silverman and Kayla Leder lead the firm’s divorce and family law litigation practice. We are experienced trial attorneys, we are in court nearly every day, and we litigate hundreds of cases each year from beginning to end, obtaining very successful and hard-won results for our clients in a variety of divorce and family law matters. While past results cannot guarantee a similar outcome, we communicate with our clients every step of the way to ensure that our clients are a critical part of the team and the process.
Most cases can and should be resolved outside of the courtroom and not every case requires litigation, but obtaining a consultation from a skilled litigation attorney or having our firm handle the negotiation of a marital settlement agreement can help ensure that you remain out of the courtroom for years to come. We understand how emotionally exhausting and financially draining litigation can be on families, finances, and children – and we work as hard as possible to help our clients achieve their goals the first time around. We will not hesitate to do what needs to be done to make sure our clients achieve fair results – sometimes this is through litigation, other times this is through other forms of advocacy – like informing our clients of their rights so they can better advocate for themselves and their children.
To be a successful advocate, we believe that we must be dedicated to our field. We are passionate about what we do. Our New York divorce and family law attorneys are experienced trial attorneys as well as dedicated and compassionate lawyers. We are able to handle any New York family law matter you may be facing, including Cohabitation Agreements, Divorce (both Contested and Uncontested), Child Custody & Parenting Time Matters, Child Support Matters, Complex Asset Division, Grandparents’ Rights, Orders of Protection, Modification & Enforcement Matters, Paternity Matters, Pet Custody Matters, Post-Judgment Matters, Pre- and Post-Nuptial Agreements, QDROs, and Spousal Support (Alimony). We also have a well-respected and excellent New York family law appellate practice to help ensure that we are able to meet and exceed all of our clients’ needs. We are committed to helping you achieve a fair and just outcome that will set you on the path to rebuilding a new life.
