About
I promise to give you my honest and realistic assessment of your situation and offer what I believe is the best legal and practical approach, drawing on my knowledge of the relevant law, and decades of experience with the procedures and personalities in the courtroom.Since handling my own divorce over twenty years ago, I have devoted my practice to matrimonial and family law on Long Island, representing business owners, executives, teachers, police officers, doctors, attorneys, homemakers, union members, and firefighters. I have handled hundreds of divorce and family law cases, negotiating favorable settlements for most, and proceeding to trial when necessary, and have prevailed on numerous divorce, child support, and child custody appeals. I was born and raised on Long Island. I graduated from Half Hollow Hills High School, and earned my undergraduate degree, cum laude, in 1986 from SUNY Stony Brook. I attended Hofstra University School of Law, where I was editor of the Hofstra Environmental Law Digest, and earned my law degree in 1989. I was admitted to the New York Bar in 1990, and started my own practice in 1992.

Stepped into a very complex 10 year court battle. Within 5 months of having my case he was able to negotiate a final settlement and end what I thought would never end. He should be everyones go to divorce lawyer if you actually want results.
I would award Petroske, Riezenman and Meyers Law Firm 10 stars if the rating system allowed it. Mr. Clifford Petroske, is an extremely knowledgeable Attorney. He has demonstrated a profound ability to articulate an incredible interpretation of the law during a trial. He also meticulously presents a superb legal presentation. The entire support staff is top notch. The combined efforts of their competence, patience, diligence and compassion has made an extremely difficult circumstance tolerable. I had complete confidence that they were working constantly for my benefit. I highly recommend Mr. Petroske and this Law Firm.
Mr. Petroske is clearly a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who was focused on obtaining the best results that he could for me. He was attentive, honest and explained everything very clearly to me. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Mr. Petroske and his firm are very professional, have comprehensive knowledge of the law and the patience to form and act on a winning strategy. if ever I had a question or concern he went out of his way to call me back in a timely manner. I highly recommend Cliff and his firm, I was extremely impressed.
Cliff not only possesses an amazing grasp of case law and the intricacies involved in matrimonial law, he is compassionate, thorough and patient. Sometimes it is quite difficult to understand legal proceedings and the vernacular of the court and Cliff is able to translate and ensure that the case is thoroughly explained and that his client completely understands what is being presented, what the options are and how they will ultimately affect one’s life. Cliff is not only kind and patient but his staff is as well. They are all extremely courteous, professional and caring.

The process of being in family court is a difficult and painful time.

Cliff and his team guided me, and ensured that I felt safe and empowered. Cliff’s depth of knowledge of the law, as well as his team’s compassion for the human aspect of family court helped me tremendously. I highly recommend working with Cliff, Katelyn, Lauren and Emily.
Clifford helped me navigate the Labyrinth, and defeat the "Goblin King." His years of experience are exemplified in his direct and informed style of communication. You'll never get stuck working with Clifford.
My initial consultation was with Clifford Petroske in March 2015 and he told me to not give up, so I didn't. Clifford Petroske, Mike Meyers and their wonderful team helped me settle my “after divorce" family court custody case which involved custody of two children. EX was extremely spiteful, lied and did everything to try to make my life miserable. This included using unethical tactics to try to make me give up and constantly dragging the case on and on. I never allowed myself to give up and this law firm gave me the confidence to be strong in pursuing what was in the best interest for the children. This law firm helped change my life and the children's lives for the better.
Some of the many qualities one looks for with an attorney is professionalism, realism, knowledge and effectiveness. Cliff Petroske has all of these, moreover, he surrounds himself with excellent staff, which in my view speaks volumes about the person. Petroske and his colleagues achieved more in 10 months than my previous lawyer in 3 years!
I cannot be more pleased with my experience with Clifford Petroske and his staff. While being both professional and personable, they were able to get me the results that I was seeking with my child support case in a reasonable amount of time. Should I encounter another issue in the future that requires legal representation, I will not hesitate to reach out to Cliff again.
