For more than 20 years, I've practiced in New York's family courts. I founded Perlmutter Law Firm PC in 2008, and I handle family law matters in Queens Family Court and Queens County Supreme Court.
Before opening my firm, I spent almost five years with the NYC Administration for Children's Services, Family Court Legal Services, in Queens County. There I represented the City and its contracted agencies in child abuse and neglect cases. I was promoted to team leader, supervising a team of attorneys, consulting on thousands of cases, and carrying my own caseload. That experience gives me a practical understanding of how these cases are built and how to respond to them.
Today I represent both adults and children through the Assigned Counsel Plan in Queens Family Court. I'm also privately retained on family and matrimonial matters, including:
• Custody and visitation
• Child support and paternity
• Family offenses and orders of protection
• Divorce and matrimonial matters
• Abuse and neglect proceedings
• Foster care litigation
• Juvenile delinquency
• Termination of parental rights
• Adoption
I earned my law degree from Hofstra University School of Law, where I participated in the Child Advocacy Clinic, and my undergraduate degree from the University at Albany. I was admitted to the New York Bar in 2003. I'm a member of the New York State Bar Association and the Queens County Bar Association. Recognized by Super Lawyers in 2026.

Mr. Perlmutter helped me get full custody of my son.
Mr. Perlmutter made quick work of what could have been a contentious and drawn out custody battle over my son.
