I never thought that I would ever need a Matrimonial Attorney. I had what was thought to be a great marriage. A loving wife, 2 great kids, a fantastic job. A good life! The story I am about to tell you speaks of Robert Montefusco’s professionalism, his character , his compassion and the empathy he displayed to me during the most tumultuous time of my life. After 27 years of marriage my wife went through a change of life and decided she no longer wanted to be married. She created a divide with my sons and during the same time I was diagnosed with a life threating illness. All this while holding an executive level position in a very complex and stressful industry. The pressure of all of this was more than I could handle. No matter how hard I tried to resolve any issues with the marriage things just kept getting worse. I couldn’t go on like this any further. A very close friend who was an attorney highly recommended that I speak with Robert. At the first consultation with Robert and his assistant Maureen their only concern was my health. His empathetic concern for my wellbeing really showed how human he was. It wasn’t until two months after I was released from the hospital that I elected to engage Robert to represent me and file for divorce.

Although I am not an attorney, I deal with a lot of contact, intellectual capital and real-estate attorneys regularly and I’m a pretty good judge of character. Robert’s representation of me was outstanding! My former wife went through three attorneys running up and enormous bill on her side seeking the most unreasonable and outlandish request you could think of. Robert’s words to me was “always wear the white hat”. Maintain your integrity and credibility at all times. This goes to his character and sense of fairness. Although he is compassionate and empathetic it cannot be confused for tenacity and resilience in the courtroom. Robert is not a stranger to arguing a motion. An added benefit that helped with my selection of Robert was his prior background as a Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney. His reputation and his sense of fair sensible play are definitely known by his colleagues and the Judges he stands before. Roberts Assistant Maureen and his Associate Megan are an extension of himself unifying his practice. I wouldn’t want to see anyone have to endure what I did. Going through what I went through with another attorney I don’t believe I would have had the same outcome. I highly recommend Robert and his team.

“I was recommended to The Montefusco law firm by a friend who is a lawyer. He told me "You don't need a guppy, you need a Barracuda"! From the first free consultation (many years ago) to the present day, the entire staff was courteous, punctual, professional, and tolerant. I say that because I can be a tough customer to deal with, and I was never treated that way. I was always given the respect, time, and the opportunity to be heard. Hope and Monica were great on the phones, and taking down my concerns, and relaying them to Robert, Meaghan, or Maureen. I had a particularly rough time with my EX, and I was fighting for the rights of my son, and him now living with me. Robert had my back through the whole process. I am 100% satisfied with the outcome, and the entire team should take a bow! Robert always knew just what to say, and how to calm me down in moments of disbelief in the ongoing battles, and I feel I can include him in my 'inner circle' of friends. Meaghan did a great job of re-writing all of my oppositions, and even took my calls when she was at her home. And last but not least is Maureen. Maureen is a paragon. She could answer every question I had, and always gave me the respect I deserved. She and I got to know each other pretty well on the phones, and through emails. Often times I called to talk to Robert, and Maureen picked up, and helped me through my concerns. Thank you Robert, Meaghan, Maureen, Hope, and Monica! You made a really bumpy road seem navigable, and throughout the process, there was always a shining light at the end of the tunnel!”

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

I hired Robert Montefusco not one time but two times to represent me for custody of my child Each time I was represented with a favorable outcome. Robert and his firm were professional effective and did not take any “BS” from the opposite side. In a biased court system where the fathers are immediately the underdog , Robert was able to get me a better outcome than most fathers get. For that I highly recommend the Montefusco Law firm.

If you're going through a divorce do yourself a favor and see this guy!!! He's as good as they come, no one will fight harder for you!!

Robert and Maureen were very helpful to me.

Honest and trustworthy. Gave great advice and streamlined the process

I hired a different attorney to represent me in my divorce and was very unhappy they were not responsive I was referred to Robert by a friend of mine he is aggressive energetic and truly passionate always immediately got back to me And could not do enough to get everything I wanted and could not do enough to get everything I wanted best in his business! You have to meet them for yourself

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Mr Montefusco fought hard for me. He went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thanks guys!!!”

I wholeheartedly recommend Robert Montefusco and the Law Office of Robert Montefusco. This firm offers its clients some of the finest and most qualified divorce and family law attorneys that I have ever met. It is my experience that he and his team of caring, qualified and aggressive attorneys are completely invested in achieving the best outcome for the client, and are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. When you find yourself in a divorce matter, you want someone who will be in your corner and fight for what is right. Robert is that person. The best thing you can do for yourself if you are in this situation is to call the Law Office of Robert Montefusco and come in for a consultation. You will be glad you did.

Robert is an aggressive yet compassionate attorney. A great asset to have in your corner. I would highly recommend hiring him.

“Robert and his staff have always went above and beyond for me throughout every step of my brutal divorce and custody process. My case is currently still open and we are in 3 court rooms. Robert is exceptionally educated, experienced, and understanding when it comes to matrimonial law. The past 2 years of my life have been the most darkest and at times unbearable because of the mistake I made in choosing the wrong partner. At times, I would call their office literally 3-4 times A DAY panicking, stressing, obsessing, and mostly crying. I never felt I was annoying them or a nuisance; they were ALWAYS there for me. Robert is not only my attorney, many times he acts as my therapist and calms me down and subsides my fears. Maureen was there beside me to sign the papers to file for the hardest decisions of my life and she always helped in making the process as smooth and seamless as possible. Hope is an amazing asset as well. She is always there to answer any questions I have and always was an extra pair of ears for me to vent to. In choosing this law firm you not only get an amazingly experienced attorney, you get a FIGHTER. Robert defends and protects me aggressively and passionately every single court appearance. For the first time in my life I have absolutely NO FEAR walking into the courtrooms ever anymore because HE is by my side. I am confident that I not only have an amazing group of people working on my case every day, but I have found friends for the rest of my life. The words Thank You will never be enough for what each of them have done for me during this difficult time in my life. I truly wish I was able to give more than 5 stars because the entire office deserves much more than 5. I honestly do not know where my life would be if I chose a different attorney. I am so grateful I made the right decision in choosing Robert to be my voice.

Mr. Montefusco represented me for both custody and divorce. His professionalism, and great knowledge of the legal system and courts, are top-notch. He, as well as his assistants, took time to explain things to me in a way that was logical and easy to understand. All members of Mr. Montefusco’s firm are very patient, courteous, and kind. They have their client’s best interests at heart. His organization and preparedness eased the entire process. There was no stone left unturned, and not one question left unanswered. His empathetic personality made it easy to trust all that he said and did during my case. All of Mr. Montefusco’s encouragement and support helped me gain confidence throughout the entire process. In my opinion, you’re not going to find a more qualified attorney than Robert Montefusco. Mr. Montefusco is an attorney who I recommend without any hesitation.

I have nothing but a very positive and helpful time with Mr Montefusco and his assistant Maureen. They both helped me along with my case and answered all my questions and were there for me at my hearing. They were both very professional and I highly recommend them to any one looking for a good and knowledgeable team. I plan on continuing using them whenever I need to use a good, professional and top notch Law Firm. 5 Stars

Robert Montifusco is always one step ahead. A man with a great heart and a will to fight. He knows all aspects of law. When Robert enters the court building there is a feeling of relief knowing he is with you. I have gained a friendship with him and his staff. I would highly recommend this firm Robert Montifusco Law.

I have used Robert Montefusco on two separate occasions and the exceptional degree of knowledge and professionalism coupled with compassion for my legal situation is beyond measure. Robert is a clever, well respected and adroit attorney who mixes just the right amount of assertiveness with tact and skill in the courtroom.
Robert just has a way of making you feel as though your case is his top priority. From telephone calls, emails or face to face interactions Robert and his experienced staff will take your highly stressful situation and give you a sigh of relief. Robert’s legal assistant Maureen is exceptional her knowledge, attention to detail and compassion only add to his practice. The rest of the staff is also highly accessible and responsive to your questions and/or concerns. 5 stars is simply not enough to describe Robert Montefusco. He is not just about providing a legal service, he truly values his clients business and is about building lasting relationships. Thank you so very much.

Robert and his staff did an exceptional job handling my case. If you need to take aggressive action he can and will, but does not unless it is needed. He takes the big picture into account and that is the goal.

Professional and helpful! Great views from his office is just a glimpse at the clarity you will have back in your life after he completes his legal services for you. A gifted attorney.

Five stars do not do enough justice for the job that Robert and his staff provided to me during my divorce. Three years into the process with my original attorney and with nothing being accomplished left me frustrated and angry. I had seen Robert representing other litigants in divorce court cases and was very impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, and demeanor. I approached him and after speaking with him for a few minutes I knew that I needed to make a change. I am so grateful that I did!

Robert took over my case and was the strongest advocate I could hope for. His rapport with the court officials and other attorneys was a marvel to watch. Having been both a prosecutor and a defense attorney, as well as going through a contentious divorce himself, it gives him a unique perspective on all the dynamics that come in to play during one of the worst times of your life. I witnessed this during each step of the process as Robert worked tirelessly to finally find a way to bring my case to a satisfying conclusion.

When you hire Robert you will be getting an aggressive, smart, empathetic, caring and brilliant lawyer who will provide you with the best representation you could ever hope for. You'll also be getting his excellent support staff who are always exceeding polite, thorough and responsive to any questions you have or to provide any help that you need. Thank you Hope, Meaghan and Maureen for all your support and help during this difficult time as well. Hopefully you will never need to hire a divorce attorney but if you do, choosing Robert Montefusco is the best choice you will ever make.

A compassionate firm for highly intense and complicated litigation.

I was involved in a bad and bitter divorce. I interviewed many attorneys. No one was as aggressive as Robert Montefusco. From the second I sat down with him, I knew he was going to fight hard for me, be in my corner, and not back down. I highly recommend Robert to anyone going through a divorce, especially a nasty one.

I hired Robert for a custody matter last year. I regret my decision to hire him as my Attorney. When I first meet Robert I told him what I was looking for and I was on a budget. He made it seem like he's one the best Attorneys to hire and he's very good at what he does, which I now know is a lie. Almost a year later l had to settle for something I did not hire him for and spend a lot more money on his legal fees that I did not plan on spending. I hired him to take my case to trail and I felt like he used our time and money to try and settle my case. I could've hired plenty of Attorneys for a lot less to settle my case. I don't think Robert nor is his firm is worth hiring as top paid Attorney only to get results you would get from a Attorney just starting out. I would not recommend or even waste my time with this firm, they are over rated and over priced, you can find many other Attorneys that would charge a lot less for the same results. I felt like our case was dragged out and I don't feel like Robert is worth it, he filed three petitions on my behalf and two were dismissed and the last one I had to settle for less then he promised. The worst part is our petition he filed was fought and won by my X's legal aid Attorney and the second petition he filed was fought by my X's Attorney and dismissed as well cause Robert and his firm did not show any change of circumstance, which he clearly told me we have and I have great chance to win and get joint custody of my kids. The other Attorney clearly found errors in the petitions Robert and his firm filed and pointed them out to the judge and they were dismissed. With that said he filed a third petition after clearly noticing his errors. Like I said for a top paid Attorney to make rookie mistakes at my expense, I don't believe him or his firm is worth hiring.
