Maria Proietti, Esq.
B.S., M.S.T., J.D., Ph.D.
Attorney and Counselor-at-Law | New York Divorce, Immigration & Appellate Attorney
If you’re dealing with a divorce, immigration issue, or complex legal dispute in New York, getting the right strategy early can make a significant difference.
I represent clients across New York in divorce, family law, immigration, and complex litigation matters, including appeals and high-conflict cases. I provide strategic, results-driven representation, with a focus on resolving matters efficiently while protecting my clients’ long-term interests.
I have extensive experience handling:
- Divorce and matrimonial disputes
- Family Court matters, including custody and support
- Immigration issues, particularly those intersecting with family law
- Civil litigation and motion practice
- Appeals and post-judgment proceedings
I am particularly known for developing strong legal strategies and persuasive arguments, especially in complex or high-stakes cases where careful analysis and procedural precision are critical.
With advanced academic training, including a Ph.D. in Psychology, I bring an added level of insight to emotionally charged matters such as divorce and cases involving domestic conflict or abuse. This allows me to approach each case with both legal precision and practical understanding of client needs.
I offer remote consultations and work with clients throughout New York.
If you are dealing with a legal issue and need clear guidance on your options, I am happy to speak with you.

Top Lawyer!
I had another attorney before Maria who did not have the expertise she has to handle my complicated case. Maria achieved an excellent result for me and is an amazing lawyer.
