Total Family Law Experience

On a personal note, Mr. Montefusco was involved in a very acrimonious divorce and, rather than focusing on the hardship and emotional pain of his contested divorce action which resulted in a trial, he believes that this experience was an opportunity for him to learn how to be a more compassionate and effective attorney. He intimately understands what it takes to be successful in divorce litigation, and can sympathize with what you may be experiencing.

Commitment to Community

Outside the courtroom, Mr. Montefusco augments his education by routinely attending Continuing Legal Education seminars on the latest updates and trends in the law. He is an active participant in the Suffolk County matrimonial bar mentoring program, providing legal advice to less experienced attorneys.

He has been a guest lecturer at Touro Law Center relating to issues of criminal procedure and practice and has been featured in Touro Law Center’s recruiting literature. He has also appeared on News12 and has been quoted in various newspapers.

Mr. Montefusco is admitted to practice in New York State and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

Robert's zealous advocacy for his clients has resulted in some of the following reviews from former clients and professional colleagues:

• “Robert has the right balance of aggressiveness, exceptional knowledge, firmness, and negotiating skills. But if push comes to shove, just put your feet up, sit back, and watch!.” – Mike H.
• “Robert literally saved my case two days before trial. I had a nightmare attorney trying to settle what I thought was an easy win. I finally fired her two days before trial. NOT ONE attorney would even entertain taking my case on in such short notice. Robert answered my call on a Friday at 4PM, met me that night, worked straight through the weekend and DEMOLISHED the other side on Tuesday morning. NINE BUSINESS HOURS from the first call, he walked into court and the entire energy changed. What went from a full on disaster, stealing 7 months of my peace, turned into a complete win in two weeks. He is worth every penny and I can’t stress this enough - let him save your situation; don’t waste time anywhere else..” – Brian C.
• “Robert is an amazing attorney. He settled my case without going to trial. He works very hard. Besides being thorough, responsive, diligent and direct, he knows the human part of it too. The entire staff is so professional and warm. Maureen is the best and so sweet. I got to know them well. You are in good hands.” – Michele C.
• “I contacted Mr. Montefusco last year when I was going through a modification in my divorce decree. I am from upstate NY and found Montefusco's law firm online by searching for highly-rated attorneys in the Long Island area. I was not disappointed in contacting this law firm. Mr. Montefusco was very accommodating, professional and responsive. Mr. Montefusco's knowledge in matrimonial law made me feel confident during a very stressful time of my life. I would not hesitate to use Mr. Montefusco again for my attorney. Also Mr. Montefusco's office manager Maureen was amazing scheduling appointments and being responsive to my needs. ” – Bill
• “Robert was my attorney representing me through my divorce and I couldn’t have asked for any better. The attorney you choose greatly affects the outcome of your divorce and mine would have been horrible if it wasn’t for him. I strongly and highly recommend him. He guided me through with his expert negotiating, leadership, advice and representation. He was realistic of what the outcome was going to be and he was right. His office staff is wonderful and you always get timely responses. Robert is definitely the one you want representing you through a difficult time that is going to affect the rest of your life” – Alice
