“I highly recommend Cliff Petroske to handle your divorce. I had a highly contentious 4-year long divorce with my ex-wife mainly over custody issues. When we’re in the courtroom, as the client we naturally focus on the theater in the courtroom between opposing counsel (sadly, divorce proceedings in New York are still partially theater as New York has not updated its divorce laws like many other states). But Cliff would rise above the theater with a strategic and technical legal focus, which in my case the key (and successful) legal strategy was to have an attorney for the children appointed twice in the case to award me joint custody. Cliff had the strategic insight and did not lower himself to the petty grandstanding by the other side. Cliff is also well respected by the Suffolk County family law court, which is helpful. With respect to legal fees, Cliff was very transparent and cost-efficient: He knew the legal costs that were required to win this battle, and he properly advised on the legal costs that would be a waste of resources. As the client, I sometimes pushed to pursue legal strategies that I thought just and fair, but Cliff properly advised that the system is not just and fair (again, sadly we live in New York that has not updated its divorce laws and for example it would be highly unlikely this type of divorce battle would ever be witnessed in Florida or many other states). Bottom Line: Cliff is a great choice for a divorce lawyer in Suffolk County.”
