Divorce is never easy — legally or emotionally. But knowing what to expect can help you take the first step with more confidence. In New York, you don’t need to prove fault anymore; you can file based on an “irretrievable breakdown” of the marriage for at least six months.
If you and your spouse can agree on custody, finances, and property division, you’re likely headed toward an uncontested divorce, which is often quicker and more cost-effective. And remember, you don’t have to go to war — there are better ways to divorce, like mediation. At LoBiondo Law, we’ve guided thousands of clients through divorce with care, clarity, and strategy.
Thinking about divorce? Start with a consultation — knowledge is power.
A DWI arrest can have serious consequences in New York — and some of them kick in immediately. For many people, their driver’s license is suspended at the first court appearance (called arraignment), before the case is even resolved.
Penalties may include heavy fines, a criminal record, increased insurance rates, and ignition interlock requirements. And if your case involves a refusal to take the breathalyzer or a repeat offense, the stakes are even higher.
At LoBiondo Law, we stay on top of the fast-changing DWI laws in New York, and we fight hard to protect your rights — and your license. The sooner we get involved, the better.
Whether it’s a misdemeanor or a felony, criminal charges can derail your future. From employment and housing to immigration status and custody — one conviction can change everything.
That’s why your first call after an arrest should be to a defense attorney — not your employer, not your cousin, and definitely not social media. At LoBiondo Law, we’ve spent decades handling everything from petit larceny to major felonies, and we know how to navigate the local courts and protect your future.
Every case is different. Every client deserves a strategy that fits their life.
Divorce doesn’t have to mean a legal battle. Mediation is a private, respectful alternative to court that gives you control over the process — and the cost.
As a certified mediator with decades of legal experience, I help couples work through custody, finances, and property division in a supportive, non-adversarial setting. You pay by the session, not with a big upfront retainer, and you can move at your own pace.
But here’s something most people don’t know: mediation is an unregulated profession in New York. That means anyone can call themselves a mediator — no license or legal training required. Choose wisely. Experience and legal knowledge matter.
