Best divorce attorney on Long Island

Bridget is a member of a rare breed: an aggressive, tough matrimonial attorney who is also honest and highly ethical. As an attorney on Long Island for nearly 17 years, I have met a wide variety of divorce attorneys. The vast majority, from my experience, are sleazy and amoral, concerned prima...rily with their own financial interests to the detriment of their clients. It is often said that a protracted divorce proceeding makes both parties unhappy, and that the lawyer is the only one who benefits. In my case, my soon-to-be ex hired a $450/hr. attorney who dragged out proceedings as long as possible in order to pad his pocket, while our daughter was struggling to pay for college. Bridget was so different. She called me only when necessary, did not pad my bills, and was a tremendously effective litigator. It is impossible to gauge how good a divorce attorney is through this rating system, since generally clients are never happy with the results. I must say, however, that my working relationship with Bridget was excellent, and she took a tremendous amount of stress off me so that I could focus on my own practice. I would highly recommend Ms. Tartaglia to anyone seeking a tough, aggressive and ethical attorney who will zealously represent their interests.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
