About

Amy Cobert Haber is a partner and one of the founders of the firm. Her practice focuses mainly on all aspects of Matrimonial and Family Law as well as Criminal defense work. Since 1988 Amy has equally represented both men and women, monied spouses and un-monied spouses, in their actions for divorce, both when they are the plaintiff and the defendant. Because of this experience, she understands the dynamics from both sides and can counsel her clients as to what they are entitled to and what they can expect.Early in her career, when she was busy raising her own children, Amy had a busy practice serving as a Law Guardian in the Nassau County Family Court representing the children of divorcing parents. That experience was invaluable to making her sensitive to the needs of the children caught in the middle of this traumatic experience, not of their choosing and out of their control.Amy is also an experienced mediator and has successfully mediated many matrimonial matters between parties who are motivated to avoid litigation.Amy has practiced all aspects of criminal law since 1974, representing defendants in misdemeanors and felonies, DUIs and domestic violence cases where one party is seeking an order of protection against the other. Both criminal law and family law intersect in these types of cases. Amy has also successfully defending the rights of juveniles in Family Court on allegations of juvenile delinquency and PINS petitions.Amy was one of the prosecutors for the Village of East Hills from 1992-2011. In that capacity she prosecuted all types of traffic matters and zoning matters for the Village of East Hills. As such, she is knowledgeable about all aspects of traffic violations and has represented clients in traffic matters all over Nassau and Suffolk Counties as well as the five boroughs of New York.

Amy is amazing!! Very competent, very experienced and knows very well what she is doing. I had a very messy divorce but the way she was advocating for me, made me feel that she is a family member not just my lawyer. She is very passionate about her clients , we ended up finalizing an agreement way better than what I expected. I highly recommend Amy Haber and her team, they made me feel safe through the most difficult time of my life. She is the BEST!

Amy's wealth of knowledge and decades of experience in the area of matrimonial law were invaluable to me. Amy was honest and upfront from our first meeting and throughout the whole process. Amy was intent on understanding my goals and kept the process on track to accomplish those goals. I was able to rely on Amy throughout my divorce process not only for candid advice but also for emotional support. I would highly recommend her to anyone contemplating a divorce.

Where do I begin. I had three attorneys before stumbling upon Amy. The day I found her was equivalent to winning the lotto to my life. She saved me. She fought so hard for me, fought so hard for my daughter (bc her law guardian failed in doing so) and pushed all limits to make sure we were safe, happy, and heard. Amy never backed down, never acquiesced, or conceded to make sure things would be right. She knew the laws better than any other attorney, did her research, and reached out to her contacts and resources to confirm and even just to get their input to ensure a win for me. Amy always took my calls, returned my emails in such short time, and always always kept in touch ASAP when we awaited to hear news from court. During the worst and scariest time of my life, Amy quickly shifted from just my legal representation to family as she fought so hard for me. I truly felt her connect to my problems and take some of the burden I carried to share it on her shoulders. I was truly blessed to find her and to this day, even though my case is over, call to chat as she will forever be a staple in my life. If you want to win, if you want someone who will fight for you until you get what is right, If you want someone who will fight for your kid(s), if you want someone knowledgeable in law and the system, if you want someone who answers your calls, emails, and texts- you’ve just found her.

I hired Amy to handle my divorce after interviewing various attorneys. What I liked from the start is that she did not push to close me. She was very informative and did not try to over promise on what could be achieved. I hired her after 2 months of the initial consultation. As a father I knew the deck was stacked against me but the outcome was amazing. I got my children 50/50, which was what i desired the most and a few other positive outcomes. You just have to listen to her because all depends on your situation on work schedukes and how much your partner works and such, but I do not think I could have selected a better attorney for this matter. Adam is another attorney for the firm that worked with Amy and he did a great job as well. Great firm.

Amy Haber is an intelligent, professional attorney. She was able to work out a fair child support agreement for us. The outcome was in the best interest of the child...a win for all!

I met Amy Haber in 1999 when I interviewed her to take care of a family members divorce. The attorney who recommended her to me described her as a real “shark!” And she has lived up to that description! I have depended on Amy and her partners at Cobert, Haber and Haber ever since. They have never let me down. I continue to have them take care of all my legal needs, so much so that I feel like I’m part of the Haber family!

Amy has been my lawyer for over 20 years. She has won all three cases I hired her for! She really is the best there is. I highly recommend her to everyone. She is so caring and passionate. Her professionalism and conduct in the court room are outstanding. The most recent case I hired her for she was able to settle on a custody agreement that was way more beneficial then expected. Actually the custody agreement that was settled on was so rare to get granted; but Amy was able to get it done! HIRE HER! She will defend you as if you were her own family. SHE IS THE BEST THERE IS! Thank you Amy for always being there for me. For always requesting all the request I made. There are not many people nor lawyers out there like you.

She helped me with custody of both of my children, she was able to help me obtain the most visitation time compared to what was offered by tre court and she is very understanding and knowledgeable and is always there with legal advice and even helpful in speaking to my ex when we have difficulty communicating.
