A Woman Led Firm with Proven Expertise Our firm is proudly led by Jacqueline Harounian, a top woman divorce attorney and leader in the field, with partners who have worked together for over 20 years. This enduring collaboration reflects our stability, depth of experience, and commitment to delivering exceptional results. We are recognized for our work with high net worth families, offering sophisticated legal counsel tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.
We believe that every client has a unique story that requires an individual approach. There is no “one size fits all” in what we do. We listen to our clients, understand their needs, and fight to achieve the best results possible. From our Managing Partner Jacqueline Harounian: “It’s been my dream to launch a law firm that will truly make a difference in the lives of clients. That will improve their lives and set them on a path towards a happier future. Our team of attorneys, mediators and legal professionals is second to none and is dedicated to our valued clients. Our reputation is well known as the most responsive and caring team of attorneys and paralegals! Let us know how we can help you and exceed your expectations.”
Smart Advice When You Need it Most If your marital relationship is getting “complicated”, and a legal separation or divorce is on the horizon, give us a call. During your free consultation, we will ask about your goals and priorities, explain your options, and help you obtain the best possible outcome. And we will also counsel you on the benefits of estate planning, including signing a Will or creating a Trust to protect your loved ones. All of this, with the least amount of emotional and financial stress.
A Holistic, Multidisciplinary Approach
We understand that family law intersects with the psychology of money, traditional gender roles, culture and religion. By integrating insights from mental health professionals and other specialists, we provide a thoughtful, multidisciplinary approach that respects both the legal and personal dimensions of every case.
Award-Winning Recognition
Our goal is to exceed your expectations of a family law firm. We have been named to Best Lawyers, Us News and World Report, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau. Furthermore, Long Island Business News named us the Top Matrimonial Firm in 2025, and one of the “Best Places to Work” on Long Island. Our four partners are honored each year as Super Lawyers, ranking among the top 5% in their field, and hold AV Preeminent ratings from Martindale-Hubbell, the highest recognition for professional skill and ethical standards. These accolades reflect our commitment to excellence, integrity, and client-focused advocacy.
Approachable Guidance
