My practice is concentrated in matrimonial matters. I provide individualized services to my clients using my 27 years of experience to provide them the best legal services and the best outcomes for their particular situations.
I am well versed in complex equitable distribution matters inlcuding those involiving family businesses, real estate or hidden assets. I have extensive matrimonial trial experience. I know that it is the preparation of a case from day one that helps to determine the outcome of a matter and if a trial even will be necessary. I work with experts such as accountants, real estate appraisers and business valuators to provide effective representation.
I also am an amateur historian. I have written seven books and many magazine articles on firefighting and antique fire apparatus. I served 20 years as a volunteer firefighter.

"I know Anthony very well, personally and professionally. As a professional, there is no attorney that works harder, especially in the area of matrimonial and family law, or who is more knowledgeable than Mr. Buono. As an adversary, Mr. Buono is very courteous and professional in the way he conducts business, though he no doubt zealously represents his clients."
"I have the pleasure of knowing Anthony Buono as an adversary on several cases in Columbia County. He works tremendously hard for his clients, he is a fine negotiator, and a formidable opponent in the court room. He is also a genuine and caring person-who truly cares about his clients' needs. I fully endorse this lawyer."
"Anthony is a professional and highly competent attorney. He is a zealous advocate and will work tirelessly for his clients. I highly recommend him."
