What you expect from an Attorney.

I never thought that I would ever need a Matrimonial Attorney. I had what was thought to be a great marriage. A loving wife, 2 great kids, a fantastic job. A good life! The story I am about to tell you speaks of Robert Montefusco’s professionalism, his character , his compassion and the empathy... he displayed to me during the most tumultuous time of my life. After 27 years of marriage my wife went through a change of life and decided she no longer wanted to be married. She created a divide with my sons and during the same time I was diagnosed with a life threating illness. All this while holding an executive level position in a very complex and stressful industry. The pressure of all of this was more than I could handle. No matter how hard I tried to resolve any issues with the marriage things just kept getting worse. I couldn’t go on like this any further. A very close friend who was an attorney highly recommended that I speak with Robert. At the first consultation with Robert and his assistant Maureen their only concern was my health. His empathetic concern for my wellbeing really showed how human he was. It wasn’t until two months after I was released from the hospital that I elected to engage Robert to represent me and file for divorce. Although I am not an attorney, I deal with a lot of contact, intellectual capital and real-estate attorneys regularly and I’m a pretty good judge of character. Robert’s representation of me was outstanding! My former wife went through three attorneys running up and enormous bill on her side seeking the most unreasonable and outlandish request you could think of. Robert’s words to me was “always wear the white hat”. Maintain your integrity and credibility at all times. This goes to his character and sense of fairness. Although he is compassionate and empathetic it cannot be confused for tenacity and resilience in the courtroom. Robert is not a stranger to arguing a motion. An added benefit that helped with my selection of Robert was his prior background as a Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney. His reputation and his sense of fair sensible play are definitely known by his colleagues and the Judges he stands before. Roberts Assistant Maureen and his Associate Megan are an extension of himself unifying his practice. I wouldn’t want to see anyone have to endure what I did. Going through what I went through with another attorney I don’t believe would have had the same outcome. I highly recommend Robert and his team. Robert D.

grateful for my attorney's expertise and care in my case

I had met my attorney , Mr. Robert Montefusco sometime back in 2006. He had represented me through a very rough and long lasting case in which opposition had gone through 3 different attorneys . I am grateful for all the hard work and efforts he and his assistant , Ms Maureen Furlan ,and others,who w...orked closely as one with me throughout my case. I would highly recommend Mr. Montefusco to anyone who want excellent and qualified representation in their case.

Professional & Thoughtful

My experiences with Robert have always been top notch. Not only did he have complete knowledge of the law regarding my case, and conducted himself professionally, he also had compassion for my situation and acted thoughtfully. Hopefully you will never have an experience like mine, but if you did I ...would highly recommend Robert. Retain him as your attorney, you will be very happy you did.

Strongly recommended attorney

Robert proved to be a very knowledgeable, professional and meticulous attorney while handling my divorce. He made sure the custody agreement I sought after was received and his guidance through a tough time in life was unparalleled. He is open, honest and will not provide false promises. I am very... grateful I had him there to handle my case. In the end I felt my agreement was very fair and better than I expected. I would not have received that result without Robert working with me. His office staff was also an absolute pleasure to work with. They were exceptional in making sure conversations and milestones were communicated to me as well as very thorough in the handling of paperwork, agreement and the decree. I would strongly recommend Mr. Montefusco for your legal needs.

The best

Robert was very professional. He was there for me when I was unsure. He was there for me as my lawyer and as a friend. He explains everything in detail. His office personal was unbelievable. They were very aware of my case in the court room and out of court room on what had to done . I would and do r...ecommend Robert to all my friends and family.
