Divorce and Separation 75%

A divorce lawyer helps you if you no longer want to be married. Whether you want a legal separation or the marriage ended, divorce lawyers assist you to arrange financial and family matters, typically in a negotiation with your spouse's lawyer.

29 years | 1,500 cases

75%
Uncontested Divorce 15%

When parties have agreed upon all essential issues which New York State requires to dissolve a marriage, that divorce is said to be "uncontested." In that instance, the case is much less expensive and faster than a contested case.

29 years | 500 cases

15%
Mediation 10%

The mediation process can help you resolve disputes without going to court. In a mediation proceeding, a neutral third party (a mediation lawyer or mediator) meets with you and the person you disagree with. Mediators are trained to solve problems.

A GREAT DIVORCE LAWYER AND GOOD GUY

I thought I would thank my divorce lawyer Robert Pollack and everyone there at the firm who helped me so much and so professionally in getting through a very tough time in my life. divorce lawyers don't have good reputation and I was scared at the beginning but I have to say it from the moment I m...et Robert Pollack I felt so comfortable and so cared for in a genuine humane way that I trusted him to take me through this and he never disappointed me. my case was not simple but he told me we would not go to trial and that we would settle the case in a fair manner which is what we did. my ex-wife and I get along better now I think because my attorney managed the case and treated her with respect which I admired. In other words he did not treat her as the enemy. And I think she respected him which I believe helped get this case settled. Her attorney was frankly, immature and I really think she trusted Mr. Pollack more than her own attorney. In any case, I would recommend his firm in a second to anyone who needs finest lawyer who knows the law and knows how to deal with people and to negotiate. His fees are very fair and he does not nickel and dime you. everyone at his office is a pleasure to deal with by the way and I want to particularly thank Lori as well.

Great Divorce Lawyer

I chose The Pollack Law Firm for my divorce based on their excellent Google reviews. Rob Pollack represented me. He is an excellent lawyer who is clearly an expert in divorce law. He got me a great deal. Very reasonable fees. Highly recommended.

THE ROCKY BALBOA OF DIVORCE LAWYERS

Attorney Rob Pollack or as I used to call him, "Rocky" because he was in the ring, fighting for me all the way from the first round. I am not going to describe my ex wife because it is Easter I want to have nice day but she was impossible to deal with mostly because she refused to get a lawyer and... when the pandemic started it only made things worse. Rob Pollack is a FIGHTER; he is relentless and he is smart. He sees the angles and he thinks about the next moves and the possibilities; he knows the law; the Judge respected him and that was clear to me; Rob said to trust him and that this was going to take a while and to hang in there with him and it is finally over and I am free! I got my divorce decree and my life can start again. Thank you Robert B. Pollack, Esq., Lori, Mary and the other people who helped turn my life around. God bless you all.

Great lawyer who gives sound advice.

I consulted with Robert and he took the time to review my case before making a decision whether or not to take my case. He was earnest, sincere, and genuinely concerned. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone, but especially those in highly contested divorce cases with child custody issues. He wil...l shed light early on so you stay focused.

Rob got me out of my cocoon and back to a butterfly

The best! Rob is such a great lawyer and kind soul. His brain is amazing! He truly wants what is best for you and your children and fights tooth and nail to get it. From the beginning he said he would do his best to keep my case out of court and that is what happened. An agreement was made between... me and my ex that works and now after 12 years of a bad marriage, I feel free like a butterfly!!! lol Call Rob Pollack you will not regret it.
