Being in family court especially when your children are on the line is extremely emotional and stressful but working with Robert and Christine put me at ease and made the process as pleasant as a situation like that can be. I have a now 3 year old daughter (who is the most important person in my life) and I've been working with them for over two years since my daughter was 7 months old, the case has been up and down and through it all Rob and Christine have never given up. My original case was due to a neglect charge. Cps is not easy to work with, but Rob and Christine were vigilant and I ended up getting my daughter back within 8 months and did not have to plead guilty to the neglect. Currently I am in family court to figure out a custody agreement. They are professional, empathetic, and patient. They have always explained everything thoroughly, informed me of all my options and advised me of what my best option would be. They always respond quickly when I contact them with questions or concerns and most importantly they fight for me in court and don't give up even when things get rough. Before hiring Rob and Christine I met with other attorneys who did not make me feel confident or comfortable at all about my case, so I am very grateful to have found Rob and Christine and to be represented by such great attorneys. I highly recommend them for any family court matters and will definitely continue to use them in the future if needed.
Annemarie C.
Christine Verbitsky was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed near impossible. Not only was she able to defend us but her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional relief to me and those I care about most. She is thorough in her work and always responded to me in a timely manner. She made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful. My daughter and I are eternally grateful for her service and I would recommend Christine without reservation.
Samantha C.
I’ve known the Hornberger Vebitsky firm for a number of years by way of some colleagues that have used their services with outstanding results along with my association through a professional networking group. I Recently had a legal matrimonial issue needed that needed to be addressed on my home front and as result I’d retained Mr Hornberger’s services. I knew from experience that I wouldn’t want to trust anyone with my situation other than Hornberger Verbtitsky.My case was handled with the utmost professionalism, diligence and care that I had expected while resulting in the most positive results that I could have only hoped for. An outstanding firm that demonstrated the most diligent care from the intial consultation all the way through to the final disposition. I Highly recommend Hornberger Vebitsky.

After meeting with 3 different lawyers, we felt Robert understood us best and he genuinely had our best interests at heart. This helped us resolve a few minor issues in a timely fashion and make a potentially stressful situation go more smoothly.Thank you
Steven F.
Robert and Christine are the epitome of professionalism. They helped us with the purchase of our new home. They were efficient, dedicated, and focused on making our closing as seamless as possible.
Thomas L.
Robert Hornberger is an outstanding attorney. He is professional, intelligent and an excellent communicator. He relates well to his clients. He is personable and easy to approach. I feel totally comfortable discussing all aspects of my divorce with him. Mr. Hornberger 's response time is impeccable. He gives 100 percent to his clients,100 percent of the time. Mr. Hornberger and his legal team prepare his strategy with a level of skill and expertise that is superior to all others. I feel confident knowing that he is representing me in my divorce. I would without hesitation recommend Robert Hornberger to anyone going through the difficult time of a divorce. He is bar none the best out there..... THE BEST!!!
Susan B.
Robert is an excellent, honest, divorce attorney who really cares about me and my concerns. He is compassionate and very easy to talk to, he listens very carefully and asks the right questions to get to the heart of the matter.While he has kept me out of court on several occasions (saving me thousands of dollars I’m sure) when we did have to appear, I could tell that the Suffolk County Family Court judge presiding over our case had the utmost respect for him (and not my opposition’s attorney), which certainly worked in my favor.I have seen, first-hand, that he is more concerned with providing the best counsel and giving his clients on Long Island the truth, rather than telling them what they want to hear or making more money from them. I have personally witnessed him, on numerous occasions, provide counsel that reduced his fees, rather than extend the case.The people in his office are just as wonderful as Mr. Hornberger. From his assistant to the other attorneys, everyone I’ve dealt with over there has been friendly, helpful and acted with the utmost professionalism. I am confident that Mr. Hornberger and his team will ALWAYS recommend the best course of action for me, or any of his clients, and I would not hesitate to recommend his firm to my family and friends.I trust Robert because he’s proven time and again that he’s in my corner for me.

Wow what an amazing team of people
chris S.
Rob and his team are by far one of the greatest! Patty is amazing and will make sure all of your questions are addressed and responded to. Rob and his team made a very tough time in my life as simple as possible. Rob is extremely knowledgeable and very empathetic. Patty was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend this firm to anyone that needs a great divorce attorney. Thank you for all of your help!
Kerri
Rob first handled my legal separation back in April 2014 and helped me get out of my house with an agreement that worked for myself and future ex. Finally, in early 2018 we started the process of divorce and he has been terrific to work with. He lets you know every step of the way what is going to happen and is very honest with his opinions on certain subjects. Divorce is not easy on the "Man" side of the equation and Rob was instrumental in making sure I landed on my feet. I'm glad he was on my side and I highly recommend him for anyone making sure they get a fair deal.
Mark K.
I was referred to Rob Hornberger by another attorney. From my initial fee consultation, Mr. Hornberger was insightful, empathetic and explained to me what I should expect regarding my divorce. After a couple days, I retained Rob and basically things went as he described, infact it took a little less time then originally suggested! Thank you...He later handled a child support matter and a stipulation adjustment that my ex wife requested.My experience with Rob has been great, he calls back pretty fast and tells you honestly what to expect.I would recommend Rob Hornberger to anyone I know that is going thru this terrible thing we call divorce, he made it less scary...
Todd E.
Going through a divorce was very challenging and emotional. Searching for an attorney can be challenging as well when you consider everything that is at stake. The choice I made to work with Rob Hornberger was surely the best choice available. His professionalism, expertise, and understanding made him and the entire team perfectly suited to achieve the outcomes I desired. Rob was always available to answer my questions and give me advice and legal considerations that affected my situation. The support I received from his staff was exemplary as well. The staff was courteous, kind, and also very professional. Thank you so much Rob and team for a worry free experience.
Everett R.
My visitation case was about a year ago with Ms. Christine Verbitsky. I had the best experience working with Ms. Verbitsky. My child's father who was absent for 7 years of his 9 year olds life wanted visitation. My child is autistic, so things were a little different. Ms. Verbitsky was super professional and caring about the outcome of the case. She was always available and always made me aware of any updates. She gave great advice and I would recommend her if you want an excellent attorney who is knowledgeable as well as understanding and will stand up for you when you need it the most!
Victoria E.
I was referred to Mr. Hornberger from a friend who knew him. He spoke highly of Mr. Hornberger's reputation as a very successful and professional divorce attorney. I was very hesitant to contact an attorney due to the sensitivity of my situation. From the moment I contacted Mr. Hornberger I knew I was in good hands. He was easy to speak with, paid close attention to all my MANY questions and reassured me that he could handle my divorce case. Since the 1st phone call, I was sure I wanted Mr. Hornberger to represent me in what I knew would be a very difficult divorce. He DID NOT disappoint! When I thought I would lose everything, with Mr. Hornberger fighting for me, I was able to have custody of my children, stay in the family home and receive child support. As far as divorce attorneys go..... Mr. Hornberger is the RIGHT choice!!!!
A A.
Christine represented me in family court. It was a very emotional rollercoaster . My two children are the most important people in my life and Christine helped me through the most difficult time ever . When it comes to the well-being of your children you don’t want to waste time and money on an uneducated attorney. Christine is extremely professional and knew the law like the back of her hand . I would gladly use her again to represent me in the future. I’m so thankful for her and the entire office / staff for helping this nightmare have a happy ending !

I was compelled to write a review of my experience with Robert E Hornberger and his staff because of my positive experience. Choosing a lawyer that is the right fit for you and your case is so important. Robert and his team make sure to detail the realities and the legalities of your case while having the compassion and caring to take the time to listen to your goals. Robert personally takes his time to reach out to his clients and check on them and update them. His entire staff is ALSO warm and welcoming which is so important when you going through the challenges of a divorce. Robert's associate Christine who also assisted on my case, is welcoming, compassionate, bright, well versed and experienced! I felt very confident with this firm representing me. I felt very cared for and well taken care of on both an emotional and legal platform. Not many lawyers take the time as they did. I highly recommend this group. I also highly recommend you meeting with the team and seeing what they are all about if you are in need of a divorce attorney.
Lisa F.
I worked with Mr. Hornberger and found him to be professional, prepared, knowledgeable and easily accessible. I would recommend him to anyone.
Laura P.
Mr. Hornberger and his Associates have made one of the most miserable experiences of my life more bearable. While they are reassuring, they also tell me what I need to know (even when I don’t want to hear it). They have guided me through the custody/divorce process with diligence and care. They pay close attention to detail and can always be reached. I could not have chosen a better attorney to represent me. I trust their judgment and know that they will always defend my interests with ardor.
Carli S.
I went to see Rob for a modification for my child custody agreement to relocate, I can honestly say that working with Rob and Christine has been the best experience. I cannot recommend them enough I only wish I had seen them sooner. They are prompt with communication, and they are honest which I appreciate so much. They do not give you fake promises and they do their best to fight for what you want which they do amazingly well! You can tell they are passionate about what they do and care about their clients. A very important aspect of lawyer client relationship for me is an open line of communication, the anxiety of the unknown always gets the best of us. The fact they were always available whether it be phone call or email to answer any question was extremely comforting and exactly what I needed. I am not well versed with laws and regulation so knowing I had Rob and his partners there when I was unsure or conflicted was extremely needed and greatly appreciated.When it comes to family court it's never easy but having Rob and his partner by my side I felt extremely comfortable and he helped me have realistic expectations. Please TRUST HIM!! If you're looking for a lawyer (at least for my end from child custody/Family Court) don't look any further you will not be disappointed. I hope to never have to use them again but in the event I have to, they are going to be my forever first call.

FAMILY COURT-NEGLECT CASEA year ago life as I knew it forever changed. My husband of more than 2 decades went to CPS and accused me of heinous acts. He then went to the court and filed for an OP against me. I was thrust into to Family Court System and I quickly learned that if I did not fight these neglect charges I would also lose my career. I knew the charges against me were false and could not be proven-but NONE of that mattered -what did matter was I was ACCUSED and I had to find legal counsel to fight for me. Robert and Christine took on my case when it was just one neglect charge against me. At my first court appearance I found out that I was also being charged with Munchausen’s by Proxy. I assumed Robert and Christine would drop me as a client-they didn’t-they fought even harder for me. DAY 1 they told me "It's going to be a long process-your best case scenario is a dismissal but it's at least 6-12 months away". I DID NOT want to hear this. I wanted to STORM the court and make the Judge and CPS realize I was a good person and give me my children back. What actually happened was EXACTLY what I was told by Robert and Christine- 9 months after hiring them to represent me I received a one year ACOD and full custody of my children. Robert and Christine took care of ME. They read my emails and responded quickly -returned my phone calls and they entertained my endless theories for how to make things move faster. I was a Mom filled with tremendous fear but Robert and Christine assured me "WE WILL WIN"-"BUT, IT WILL TAKE TIME". The staff at this firm is amazing. Dawn, Susan, Kellie and Mary took care of me like I was their own family. The first few months I would call crying and in crisis. They listened and assured me I was in good hands with Robert and Christine. I was very lucky to find a team willing to go to battle for me….in the end it’s all about the kids –and I am one blessed Mommy!
Happy M.
Hornberger law was the best choice I made when I needed to go to family court with my ex for custody of my children. They were there at any time when I neeeded them. Going through a custody battle can be a huge emotional rollercoaster and very painful. They helped me through it and made it less painful and heartbreaking. And I got the outcome plus more than I expected
Angela T.
I came to Robert Hornberger in dire need of help with a stressful and complicated divorce dispute. Upon our first meeting, I immediately began to feel at ease knowing I chose the right attorney. He listened carefully as I presented my situation and in short order implemented a plan towards resolution. Every step of the way he was attentive and prompt to all my needs and concerns. His experience, confidence and careful planning led us to a favorable outcome of the matter. I give my strongest recommendation to the law firm of Hornberger Verbitsky.
Joseph L.
I needed Mr. Hornberger's help with child support matters on 2 separate occasions in Suffolk County Family Court over the past 3 years. On each occasion, Mr. Hornberger handled my case with the highest level of professionalism. He was able to easily negotiate directly with my ex(who is extremely difficult to deal with). It was obvious to me that the Judge handling my case had a great deal of respect for Mr. Hornberger, and because of this my ex settled the case. Even though the case is resolved, Mr. Hornberger still answers my calls and email questions. I only wish I knew Mr. Hornberger when I first got divorced, as I am confident everything would have done right the first time. Thank you Mr. Hornberger!
Paul V
I know what most people say about lawyers because I am one of those people lol…. But my experience with the law firm Robert E Hornberger Esq., P.C. and in particular Christine Verbitsky was nothing short of wonderful. They took care of me every step of the way and always had my best interests first. They worked diligently and professionally to get me the best possible deal and making sure I didn't settle for anything less. If anyone is looking to have their opinion about lawyers changed or to be treated as you should when you need a lawyer , look no further then this law firm…. Thank you so MUCH Christine and Rob..
Charlie C.
Rob and Christine are the very best out there!I can not say enough about them. They both have helped me so much in different matters throughout the last several years . They have gone over and beyond!I highly recommend this law firm !
Janine Martello D.
Christine was the second lawyer to work on my divorce and child custody case and I wish we had her from the start. During my initial consultation with Christine, I knew she understood that my son's well being and stability was everything to me. Instantly, I felt trust with her and knew we were in good hands. Both Robert & Christine are extremely knowledgeable on the law and are very strategic when it comes to complex and unique cases such as mine. (Myself and son live in Florida, this entire case lasted a year and went to trial in New York.). They truly care about their clients and fight for what is important to them. It was nice to have a response within an hour of my emails, my phone calls and never felt like i was left waiting for someone to reply . The advice they gave to me during this year long battle sometimes didn't seem to make sense to me but looking back, what seemed like huge monumental problems during my trial were only small bumps along the way to our VICTORY! Once you are in the courtroom with these two you realize what you've been paying for & every cent is worth it. If your case does go to trial, you don't want to walk in alone. When you choose an attorney, sometimes you are literally putting your life in their hands. I trusted Christine then, and I would trust her again today. Rest assured that you're in good hands once you hire this firm. When they say something is going to get done, It does. You would be very fortunate to have them represent you.This firm was a blessing from the moment I walked into the office!I can't thank you all enough!!
stephanie G.
Robert Hornberger has been a friend of mine and my family for years. He has helped us all in ways that are too numerable to mention. I went through a divorce that I don’t think I could’ve done if I didn’t have Robert by my side. He is vivacious, motivated, knowledgeable, and has an extreme desire to succeed and excel...and he does! He goes over and above for all of his clientele. I would recommend his law firm to anybody who is looking for a Great Lawyer with integrity!
Sheila V.
I am a paralegal in an unrelated field of law. I phoned Hornberger Verbitsky, P.C. today intending to refer a client to their office. Instead (and despite that we are the midst of the present crisis), Mr. Hornberger himself graciously accommodated my questions over the telephone, and was generous with his time and adroit in his response, saving our client a small fortune in unnecessary legal fees. I have not had any similar experience, in which counsel was so generous with his expertise, in 22+ years of interacting with prominent, local attorneys, and the client is overjoyed. Based on this experience, I would now whole -heartedly recommend this firm as trusted professionals to any client requiring a firm expert in family law and related legal issues.
Ann M.
I would like to express a heartfelt thanks to Christine and staff for their courtesy and professionalism. As divorce is always a difficult thing to go through, I am happy to have had Christine on my side for legal representation. She made a difficult situation less stressful for me. I would recommend her services to anyone who seeks sound legal advice. She was patient, easy to talk to, and follows through until the job gets done!!! Thanks again for all your help. It really made a difference.
Sharon B.
Navigating my divorce was a challenging experience to say the least, but I was supported and guided every step of the way by my attorney, Robert. With the daunting task of hiring a divorce lawyer, I knew I would need someone with the right combination of knowledge, compassion and integrity. Robert has a strong background in family law, sincere character and direct communication to be superior to the others. He and his staff were professional and caring. I always felt I was in good hands. I highly recommend the Law Offices Hornberger and Verbitsky for the legal expertise, compassion and understanding of the many complex facets associated with divorce.
Ashley H.
I called to make an appointment for a consultation to discuss a mediated divorce, the office was fantastic with getting me a prompt appointment. When going in all my questions were asked and I left feeling comfortable in my decision to move forward in using the Hornberger/Verbitsky office. Despite a pandemic going on the office still worked diligently to get my papers filed and my divorce complete in a timely manner. Highly recommend!
Tara T.
Mr. Hornberger handled a very stressful custody and child support case for my family with the utmost professionalism, compassion and care. His expertise, understanding and preparation of our case helped ease the tension during this most difficult time.The high quality of service we received from Mr. Hornberger and his staff throughout our case was undeniable. Their style of communication is to respond to any inquiries or requests quickly and honestly. If you have a question, you don't wait for days for a response!We are happy to have found a firm that understands the complexities and sensitive nature associated with these types of cases as well as the complex New York legal system. They offer legal advice in a timely manner and will litigate professionally, when necessary.
Dawn V.

Hornberger Verbitsky, P.C were phenomenal in every way. Robert was very genuine, patient and professional.

cristina R.
Hornberger Verbitsky, P.C. - Mr. Robert Hornberger and his staff are beyond professional, they quickly gave me my consultation appointment, and helped me with an after-Divorce issue. Mr. Hornberger was empathetic and explained to me what I should expect. Mr. Hornberger was extremely professional and advised me of my options, he helped me proceed with accurate and smart decisions. I wish I had Mr. Hornberger and his highly recommended staff when I was getting divorced. I would highly recommend Robert and his staff to anyone who is getting a divorce or in need of help with situations after the divorce!

Two for the Price of ONE!!!A year ago due to the hard work of BOTH my lawyers I received an ACOD in Family Court. When my case first started Robert came with me to Family Court. After meeting with them both it was determined that Christine was going to move forward and represent me each time we needed to go before the Judge. They assured me that every aspect about my case had both of their attention and both of their input. The shame and humiliation I felt when they took on my case overwhelmed me and I never expected to be treated with kindness and respect. However, each time a phone call was made or each time I went to the office I spoke with BOTH of them and we were all on the same page. Yesterday I received a CONGRATULATIONS note from Christine and Robert that MADE MY DAY!Today I am ACOD Free- CPS Free- I am divorced and have Full Custody of my children. I highly recommend Christine and Robert and their wonderful staff --my life is forever changed and I am happier then I ever imagined!
Deirdre
I recently retained Mr. Hornberger's Office to handle my Divorce. My Divorce has been on-going for over 3 years with not much success. After being extremely frustrated with the process I felt I needed a more experienced, professional, compassionate, go-getting Attorney. Mr. Hornberger and his staff couldn't be more understanding of my needs, they return my phone calls and they get the job done! I am completely happy with my results and so happy I switched. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
susan
They made our process so easy. They were there to answer and help with any questions that came up. Very friendly

I would like to say that Christine and Robert have gone above and beyond what they said they would do for me. My case is not over yet and I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with all of their support and the way they have handled my case. They have kept me informed of everything taking place and always take out the time to respond to my phone calls or emails. Due to the nature of my custody battle, they are always very sensitive to my feelings and look out for my best interest. They have also advised me on what to do in order to not go beyond my budget. They do not treat me as a dollar sign but as a person in desperate need of their professional help.

Robert Hornberger is a great lawyer in more ways than one. He knows the law inside and out, he is professional, he is a strong advocate and he tells his clients the truth about what they can expect. I recommend him without hesitation.

Could not ask for a better group of people to help during a difficult time. Christine Verbitsky is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to explain any questions. Always quick responses to emails and phone calls. Willing to work with individual needs. Christine is honest and genuinely cares about her clients. Dawn in the office is a godsend and always willing to lend a hand or an ear. So grateful to have found such caring individuals who are amazing at what they do. Highly recommend!

Robert is an amazing attorney who makes divorce/separation a whole lot easier to deal with. He was available by phone or email to answer any questions and always got back to me promptly. I really feel that he cares about his clients and was always honest and up front about everything. My main concern throughout everything was my kids. Robert is very knowledgeable about child custody/child support issues. He added things to my agreement that I wasn't even thinking of and I'm very grateful for that. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!

The team at Hornberger Verbitsky made me feel at ease after I retained them after a 3 year contested divorce process. I like their approach with how they educate you on ways to get the best outcome in your divorce. Mr. Hornberger made me feel heard and was compassionate to my case while also being aggressive in the courtroom to help me get the most positive outcome. He prevented my case from having to go to trial and he closed the deal in my long drawn out emotional divorce. I was happy that I retained him and would recommend him to anyone that is going through a high conflict divorce.

Thankfully, I was referred to Robert Hornberger from a friend. I had no idea where to turn at this point in my life, but knew that I needed legal advice. From the moment his assistant Mary answered the phone I was put at ease, and knew I had found the right place. My first meeting with Robert just assured me even more. With everything being so overwhelming and complicated, he was always extremely patient and took the time to explain. Most importantly, he is very fair. He has always done everything in his power to work things out quickly and not drag issues through court. One of the most comforting things is that he was always very quick to return calls and settle issues, even if it was late in the day he always returned e-mails or phone calls to put me at ease. I honestly don't know what I would have done or where I would have wound up if it was not for Robert and his team. I would DEFINITELY, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone!!

Christine Verbitsky was an absolute godsend. At arguably the most difficult time in my life, Christine helped me cope with my situation and gave me a solid basis for hope going forward. She got to know me. She understood what I wanted and helped me understand my legal options. Christine is intelligent, incredibly well-versed in the law and was able to pro-actively take the bull by the horns in caring for both my legal and emotional needs. Instead of letting things drag on, Christine stayed on top of my case and kept costs at a minimum. She was always available to me, fast, efficient, knowledgeable, and caring. I highly recommend her professional services.
