Robert H. Montefusco

“Robert and his staff have always went above and beyond for me throughout every step of my brutal divorce and custody process. My case is currently still open and we are in 3 court rooms. Robert is exceptionally educated, experienced, and understanding when it comes to matrimonial law. The past 2 yea...rs of my life have been the most darkest and at times unbearable because of the mistake I made in choosing the wrong partner. At times, I would call their office literally 3-4 times A DAY panicking, stressing, obsessing, and mostly crying. I never felt I was annoying them or a nuisance; they were ALWAYS there for me. Robert is not only my attorney, many times he acts as my therapist and calms me down and subsides my fears. Maureen was there beside me to sign the papers to file for the hardest decisions of my life and she always helped in making the process as smooth and seamless as possible. Hope is an amazing asset as well. She is always there to answer any questions I have and always was an extra pair of ears for me to vent to. In choosing this law firm you not only get an amazingly experienced attorney, you get a FIGHTER. Robert defends and protects me aggressively and passionately every single court appearance. For the first time in my life I have absolutely NO FEAR walking into the courtrooms ever anymore because HE is by my side. I am confident that I not only have an amazing group of people working on my case every day, but I have found friends for the rest of my life. The words Thank You will never be enough for what each of them have done for me during this difficult time in my life. I truly wish I was able to give more than 5 stars because the entire office deserves much more than 5. I honestly do not know where my life would be if I chose a different attorney. I am so grateful I made the right decision in choosing Robert to be my voice.

I give Robert and his staff five stars he did a great job explaining everything to me and he's a fighter we bump heads which is normal sometimes the courts don't see things your way and your lawyer has to explain the reality of what will happen or could happen so you need to accept that. I enjoyed t...he competition with my own lawyer him and his staff did a great job thank you Robert and staff.

I hired Robert for a custody matter last year. I regret my decision to hire him as my Attorney. When I first meet Robert I told him what I was looking for and I was on a budget. He made it seem like he's one the best Attorneys to hire and he's very good at what he does, which I now know is a lie. Alm...ost a year later l had to settle for something I did not hire him for and spend a lot more money on his legal fees that I did not plan on spending. I hired him to take my case to trail and I felt like he used our time and money to try and settle my case. I could've hired plenty of Attorneys for a lot less to settle my case. I don't think Robert nor is his firm is worth hiring as top paid Attorney only to get results you would get from a Attorney just starting out. I would not recommend or even waste my time with this firm, they are over rated and over priced, you can find many other Attorneys that would charge a lot less for the same results. I felt like our case was dragged out and I don't feel like Robert is worth it, he filed three petitions on my behalf and two were dismissed and the last one I had to settle for less then he promised. The worst part is our petition he filed was fought and won by my X's legal aid Attorney and the second petition he filed was fought by my X's Attorney and dismissed as well cause Robert and his firm did not show any change of circumstance, which he clearly told me we have and I have great chance to win and get joint custody of my kids. The other Attorney clearly found errors in the petitions Robert and his firm filed and pointed them out to the judge and they were dismissed. With that said he filed a third petition after clearly noticing his errors. Like I said for a top paid Attorney to make rookie mistakes at my expense, I don't believe him or his firm is worth hiring.

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.

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.
