I have used Robert Montefusco on two separate occasions and the exceptional degree of knowledge and professionalism coupled with compassion for my legal situation is beyond measure. Robert is a clever, well respected and adroit attorney who mixes just the right amount of assertiveness with tact and class in the courtroom. Robert just has a way of making you feel as though your case is his top priority. From telephone calls, emails or face to face interactions Robert and his experienced staff will take your highly stressful situation and give you a sigh of relief. Robert’s legal assistant Maureen is exceptional her knowledge, attention to detail and compassion only add to his practice. The rest of the staff is also highly accessible and responsive to your questions and/or concerns. 5 stars is simply not enough to describe Robert Montefusco. He is not just about providing a legal service, he truly values his clients business and is about building lasting relationships. Thank you so very much. Angela A.

He also has a heart and consideration for the extreme circumstances families go through. His office team is highly professional and qualified as well. I am so satisfied and highly recommended you have him in your corner!
Robert is excellent. I am very happy I hired him. I would recommend Robert to use all time if anyone looking for it.
“Robert and his staff have always went above and beyond for me throughout every step of my brutal divorce and custody process. My case is currently still open and we are in 3 court rooms. Robert is exceptionally educated, experienced, and understanding when it comes to matrimonial law. The past 2 years of my life have been the most darkest and at times unbearable because of the mistake I made in choosing the wrong partner. At times, I would call their office literally 3-4 times A DAY panicking, stressing, obsessing, and mostly crying. I never felt I was annoying them or a nuisance; they were ALWAYS there for me. Robert is not only my attorney, many times he acts as my therapist and calms me down and subsides my fears. Maureen was there beside me to sign the papers to file for the hardest decisions of my life and she always helped in making the process as smooth and seamless as possible. Hope is an amazing asset as well. She is always there to answer any questions I have and always was an extra pair of ears for me to vent to. In choosing this law firm you not only get an amazingly experienced attorney, you get a FIGHTER. Robert defends and protects me aggressively and passionately every single court appearance. For the first time in my life I have absolutely NO FEAR walking into the courtrooms ever anymore because HE is by my side. I am confident that I not only have an amazing group of people working on my case every day, but I have found friends for the rest of my life. The words Thank You will never be enough for what each of them have done for me during this difficult time in my life. I truly wish I was able to give more than 5 stars because the entire office deserves much more than 5. I honestly do not know where my life would be if I chose a different attorney. I am so grateful I made the right decision in choosing Robert to be my voice.
I give Robert and his staff five stars he did a great job explaining everything to me and he's a fighter we bump heads which is normal sometimes the courts don't see things your way and your lawyer has to explain the reality of what will happen or could happen so you need to accept that. I enjoyed the competition with my own lawyer him and his staff did a great job thank you Robert and staff.
Robert is a great attorney and helped me not only get through a tough divorce, but ground my way of thinking and helped me around other divorce issues that spin off of this miserable event. I value that significantly. After 20 plus years of a first and failed marriage, without going into details, I am glad he was recommended to me. He's got balls and toughness, and says it straight, and will protect you. That's what you want. I'm still recovering and still owe money but recovering with a bright future, and thankful we crossed paths.
Robert H. Montefusco is by far the absolute best at what he does, he is a superb attorney. He was my third counsel and left no stone unturned. He is extremely smart, cordial and commands respect in the courtroom. His entire staff is composed of people that conduct themselves in a professional manner and are efficient as well. I highly recommend Robert H. Montefusco. I will always remember the courtesy and professionalism that was extended to me and my family by Robert and his staff. Equally, I will not forget how he protected me, kept me informed and advised me throughout the process.
I never thought that I would ever need a Matrimonial Attorney. I had what was thought to be a great marriage. A loving wife, 2 great kids, a fantastic job. A good life! The story I am about to tell you speaks of Robert Montefusco’s professionalism, his character , his compassion and the empathy he displayed to me during the most tumultuous time of my life. After 27 years of marriage my wife went through a change of life and decided she no longer wanted to be married. She created a divide with my sons and during the same time I was diagnosed with a life threating illness. All this while holding an executive level position in a very complex and stressful industry. The pressure of all of this was more than I could handle. No matter how hard I tried to resolve any issues with the marriage things just kept getting worse. I couldn’t go on like this any further. A very close friend who was an attorney highly recommended that I speak with Robert. At the first consultation with Robert and his assistant Maureen their only concern was my health. His empathetic concern for my wellbeing really showed how human he was. It wasn’t until two months after I was released from the hospital that I elected to engage Robert to represent me and file for divorce. Although I am not an attorney, I deal with a lot of contact, intellectual capital and real-estate attorneys regularly and I’m a pretty good judge of character. Robert’s representation of me was outstanding! My former wife went through three attorneys running up and enormous bill on her side seeking the most unreasonable and outlandish request you could think of. Robert’s words to me was “always wear the white hat”. Maintain your integrity and credibility at all times. This goes to his character and sense of fairness. Although he is compassionate and empathetic it cannot be confused for tenacity and resilience in the courtroom. Robert is not a stranger to arguing a motion. An added benefit that helped with my selection of Robert was his prior background as a Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney. His reputation and his sense of fair sensible play are definitely known by his colleagues and the Judges he stands before. Roberts Assistant Maureen and his Associate Megan are an extension of himself unifying his practice. I wouldn’t want to see anyone have to endure what I did. Going through what I went through with another attorney I don’t believe would have had the same outcome. I highly recommend Robert and his team. Robert D.
Attorney Montefusco is absolutely the best - - Period. His knowledge and will to provide the best services possible are second to none. Me being a single father, Robert has successfully fought for mine and my daughter's best interests on many occasions. Most importantly to me, Robert has given his personal attention to every aspect of the cases we have worked on together and has never once made me feel like "just a client". Although any dealings with the Courts are an uncomfortable process for me, I always feel an insurmountable sense of confidence when Robert is by my side. It's truly a privilege to be represented by an attorney I feel is the best and I never worry when Robert's by my side. I highly recommend Attorney Montefusco.
