Robert Gary Smith

I am a respected litigator and negotiator, well known in the profession, with more than 40 years of experience as lead counsel in hundreds of matrimonial cases.  I have the highest skills and ethics professional rating from Martindale-Hubbell (AV Preeminent), from both my peers and the judiary.  I have earned the Superlawyers designation.   In addition to extensive matrimonial experience, I have also defended high profile homicide cases.  

My roster of satisfied clients includes testimonials from many prominent professionals, successful entrepreneurs, celebrities, and their spouses.

Photos on the internet do not tell you what reality, staff  and equipment supports the claims that are made in advertisements.   My state-of-the-art boutique law firm is conveniently located in midtown Manhattan.  Your team, headed by me, is hand selected and assembled for your particular needs.  It is not an expensive collection of bodies,  because there is no inherent strength in numbers for these assignments.  I will never fail to practice thrift in the allocation of tasks for which you will be billed.   

Although I have appeared on national television hundreds of times, lectured to lawyers, and authored scores of appellate briefs, as the old adage says: those who can’t, teach; and those who can, do.  I am one who does.  When the rubber hits the road in your case, I do not delegate to others or change the narrative.   From the beginning to the most successful end, my mission is to conclude your case successfully, efficiently and to your satisfaction.  You should become free not only to go on with your life but to thirve and prosper.   

So how do you go about choosing the right lawyer for your case ?  I suggest that the process of selectiing the best lawyer for your case can be as easy as A, B, C:

• A  –  Make sure that your divorce lawyer is accessible and able to answer your   questions.  

•B  –  Your divorce lawyer should be business-like, not your therapist; busy        enough to be knowledgeable; current on legal developments; strong when            appropriate, but not unthinkingly belligerent.  Legal representation is                  already too expensive.  

•C  –  Your divorce lawyer should have credentials and capability, both at the          conference table and in the courtroom.  Then you will have the confidence              you will need to enable you to meet the extraordinary challenges which                 confront the divorcing spouse and parent.
