Words cannot express how Milana got me through the toughest time of my life. My divorce was so complicated and emotionally charged and her calm demeanor helped me stay grounded. She truly cared about me and my children and gave me the strength to continue doing what was best for us, even when I threatened to run away to another country and just start a new identity. (It’s funny but seriously, it got that bad lmao)
I was nervous about hiring a woman but let me tell you, she can go head to head with any male attorney around. I guess not all women are intimidated by a man like many of us going through a divorce. She is educated, passionate…. But also has the empathy that I was looking for. I can’t recommend her enough. I owe her so much and I’m just so thankful.
Milana is the best family divorce law attorney I have worked with, if I could give her 6 stars I would. From our first meeting, she explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions. I think she also offers a very reasonable price for her knowledge and excellent services.
Divorce is never an easy thing, especially when kids are involved, and Milana not only proved to be a fighter, for my case but she also is a genuine person that really cares for your well-being and would check in to see if my kids and I are doing ok.
Her legal representation is outstanding; don't waste your time and money on other lawyers, as I did, call her today!
Milana opened her own law firm in the Fall of 2020. Prior to that, she was a partner at Larkin, Ingrassia & Tepermayster, LLP, for four years. She was an associate with the same firm since September of 2009 in the firm's matrimonial department.
Milana serves clients with family court matters and divorce litigation throughout the state. Milana has developed a strong love for her skillful work as a family and matrimonial attorney.
Milana’s extensive experience includes the handling of matters involving complex equitable distribution of marital assets, support, child custody issues and appellate work. Milana appears regularly in Family and Supreme Courts throughout Orange, Ulster, Dutchess, Sullivan and Rockland Counties. She also handles the drafting and negotiating of pre and post nuptial agreements for clients.
Milana received her J.D., from the Pace University School of Law in White Plains, New York. She also attended State University of New York at Albany, New York where she received a B.A. in Political Science, magna cum laude. Milana is admitted to practice law in the State of New York and in the State of Connecticut. She was born in Ukraine and is fluent in Russian.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Milana Tepermayster helped me with a child custody case, her professionalism is remarkable, along with her knowledge and execution of the law.
This has been one of the most traumatic experiences for everyone involved and I feel that when people are faced with the fear of the unknown and then given a sense of peace throughout this unfamiliar legal process, then they have found the right legal representation. I definitely found that in Milan and for that I'm really grateful.
She always responded to me in a timely manner and always keeps you updated and explains in detail everything that is happening, she was very patient with me, and she helped me stay calm when I was about to explode. Also, the thing that impressed me most about her was nothing was "sugar coated". she was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way.
Without hesitation, I give Milana my highest recommendation. Your family process will be easier and more professional with her fighting by your side.

One of the best!
Milana is wonderful! She expertly represented me in my case to seek 6 months worth of arrears and a host of outstanding issues post-divorce. It is very apparent that she is well respected in the courts, is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She didn’t back down when opposing counsel continued to show up unprepared and seeking to make the process more difficult. She was on top of all issues and ultimately settled my case wirh the best possible scenario. Milana stands amongst the few outstanding attorneys in the Hudson Valley.

USELESS
We hired her for some family matters and she literally did nothing. She had almost no communication with the opposing lawyer. She was horrible. I would not use her to feed my cats let alone represent me.
