A LAW PRACTICE CONCENTRATED IN REPRESENTING CLIENTS IN DIVORCE AND FAMILY LAW MATTERS.

My practice is concentrated in matrimonial matters.  I provide individualized services to my clients using my 26 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 six books and many magazine articles on firefighting and antique fire apparatus.  I served 20 years as a volunteer firefighter.

Anthony did a great job for me
Although divorce is truly a horrible thing to go through Anthony Buono did a great job for me. I was always able to contact him to ask questions and when we met I always walked out feeling that things were going to work out. My divorce ended in a fair division of our assets and I couldn't have done it without his experience.

Anthony is a great divorce Attorney
Anthony Buono was my divorce attorney. He will work hard for you and get you what you deserve and are entitled to. He is very proefessional and extremly knowledgable of divorce law. I won an appeal due to his knowledge of case law. He worked hard on that appeal and knew what the law was and what I was entitled to. I would not hesitate to recommend him to be your Divorce Attorney.

Anthony Buono
I used Anthony's services to probate my late husband's Will, He was considerate of my recent bereavement and explained the process very thoroughly. I have since used him for real estate matters. Anthony clearly has a great deal of knowledge and expertise and I would recommend him without reservations.

Professional yet down to earth
Anthony has been our "go to" guy for legal assistance. He's helped us prepare our wills, power of attorney and handled our mortgage refinance. He's also done the same for my parents and some of my family members and friends. He is friendly, knowledgeable and responsive but also down to earth and easy to work with. We highly recommend him.

not happy
As far as I am concern Antony never gave me one once of advice or gave me due conceal. All Antony did was write contract after contact that everyone was not excepted by my wife and attorney, even while I was telling him it wasn't going to fly. Only at the end did he write that client realizes that he should have went to court. Numerous time I asked him if we would be better off taking it to court. I finally walked away from Anthony but only after thousands of dollars was spent and a lost of 18 months.
