About Anthony

A law practice concentrated in representing clients in divorce and family law matters.

My practice is concentrated in domestic relations matters.  I provide individualized services to my clients using my twenty plus years of experience to work to provide them the best legal services and the best outcomes for their particular situations.  I write about my experiences as a domestic relations attorney as well as interesting domestic relations issues in my blog; The Upstate New York Divorce Law Bog.   I also am an amateur historian and have written six books and many magazine articles on firefighting and antique fire apparatus.  I served twenty years as a volunteer firefighter.

Review Anthony Buono

Anthony did a great job for me

Posted by

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

Posted by

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.

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

Posted by

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.

John Hillman, Divorce and separation Attorney on Dec 22, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

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.

April Dalbec, Family Attorney on Aug 16, 2013

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.

Mary Colwell, Family Attorney on Nov 28, 2012

I endorse this lawyer. Anthony is an experienced trial attorney who always provides his clients with exceptional legal representation. He works tirelessly to achieve the best possible legal result for his clients. He is ethical, professional, passionate, and kind to his clients. His clients are lucky they have an attorney like Anthony representing their legal interests.
