A Long Island Divorce Law Firm With Decades of Experience

Since its founding, Petroske Riezenman & Meyers has concentrated on helping clients protect their financial interests, parental rights, and long-term futures.

Founding attorney Clifford J. Petroske has practiced law in New York since 1990, with extensive experience in matrimonial litigation, complex property division, business valuation disputes, and appeals. Over the years, the firm has grown into a team of accomplished attorneys who bring complementary skills and perspectives to divorce and family law representation.

Unlike general-practice law firms, Petroske Riezenman & Meyers focuses exclusively on matrimonial and family law. This concentration allows our attorneys to stay closely engaged with developments in New York divorce law, family court procedures, and the financial and legal complexities that frequently arise in matrimonial proceedings.

Our attorneys have substantial experience representing clients in the Supreme Courts and Family Courts of Suffolk and Nassau Counties.

Comprehensive Divorce and Family Law Representation

The attorneys at Petroske Riezenman & Meyers represent clients in virtually every aspect of New York matrimonial and family law, including:

Contested and Uncontested Divorce: Representation in negotiated divorces and complex litigation involving disputed marital issues.
High-Net-Worth Divorce: Division of substantial marital estates, business interests, professional practices, real estate, investments, and retirement assets.
Child Custody and Parenting Time: Legal and physical custody, visitation, relocation, and modification proceedings.
Equitable Distribution: Identification, valuation, and division of marital assets and debts under New York law.
Child Support and Spousal Maintenance: Establishment, enforcement, and modification of financial support obligations.
Divorce Mediation and Settlement: Negotiated solutions designed to reduce conflict when appropriate.
Prenuptial Agreements and Legal Separation: Agreements addressing financial rights, responsibilities, and the protection of assets.
Matrimonial Appeals and Post-Divorce Matters: Representation involving appeals, enforcement, and modifications of existing orders.

Our attorneys regularly handle matters involving business owners, executives, professionals, and individuals facing complicated financial or parenting disputes. We recognize that each case presents unique circumstances requiring a carefully developed legal strategy.

An Experienced and Collaborative Legal Team

One of the defining characteristics of Petroske Riezenman & Meyers is our collaborative approach to representation. While clients work closely with their individual attorney, our legal team can draw upon the collective knowledge and experience of the firm’s attorneys when addressing challenging legal questions and developing case strategies.

Our team includes founding partner Clifford J. Petroske, partners Ryan Riezenman, Michael Meyers, and Nicole Silver, senior associate Debra Welsh, and associate attorney Gabriella Lorenzo.

Together, our attorneys bring experience in matrimonial litigation, financial disputes, custody proceedings, negotiated settlements, and mediation. Our attorneys work to provide clients with careful preparation, responsive communication, and effective representation in both negotiations and the courtroom.
