Brooklyn Divorce Attorneys
Reliable Counsel Through Your Difficult Divorce
Coffinas & Lusthaus, P.C. understands the emotions that come with initiating or responding to divorce
proceedings. For almost 20 years, we've met with clients in states
of anger, confusion, uncertainty and fear. With our
personalized and highly professional approach to representation, we guide our clients through the challenges of a New
York divorce, capably asserting their rights to a fair outcome. With hard
work and tenacity, we get you to the place you can declare, "Wait
'til next year!" with confidence.
No city is more focused on winning than Brooklyn, and New Yorkers accept
the demands of competing here with stoicism and resolve. Brooklyn is famously
obstinate in the face of defeat. We coined the phrase "Wait 'til
next year!" and turned it into a rallying cry. Yet, when the moment
finally comes to admit our marriage is over, our façade chips away,
and we feel something Brooklynites rarely feel: vulnerable.

Favorable Outcomes for Over 20 Years
Clients come to us from all over the five boroughs, Nassau, and Westchester for help
filing for divorce in New York. Since 1997, our Brooklyn divorce lawyers have established a solid track
record of favorable outcomes for our clients. In negotiations, at trial,
and on appeal, we augment our legal knowledge with creative strategies
that deliver positive results.
Our law firm can assist with the following kids of divorce cases:
-
No-fault divorce - In October 2010, New York state adopted a form of
no-fault divorce, eliminating the requirement that couples prove grounds, such as abandonment,
adultery, cruelty, or incarceration. Now one party can simply allege that
the marriage has had an irretrievable breakdown, saving them the time
and torment of litigating that issue.
-
Uncontested divorce - In New York, an uncontested divorce is the quickest and least costly
way to dissolve a marriage. To obtain an uncontested divorce, the couple
must present the court with a signed divorce settlement agreement. Getting
to a fair agreement is often a challenge; Coffinas & Lusthaus, P.C.
consistently delivers.
-
Contested divorce - When a couple cannot deliver a complete divorce settlement agreement, they
must litigate any issues. The contested issues are usually the most complex
and emotionally charged, including child custody, spousal support, and
property distribution. We combine legal knowledge and creative thinking
to resolve even the thorniest custody and support issues. In addition,
we've demonstrated time and again that we have the capacity, even
as a small firm, to protect our clients' interests in the division
of high-asset marital estates.
