“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.

A Cheap Long Island Divorce Lawyer Can Be Very Expensive

Hiring a cheap Long Island divorce lawyer promoting a low advertised retainer can drag your divorce out for months, inflating your legal fees  along the way. Some divorce law firms offer a low retainer and charge you for paralegal work like filling out forms and filing paperwork at experienced divorce attorney rates and then charging higher hourly rates when your retainer is exhausted.

At Hornberger Verbitsky, P.C. we charge affordable rates to everyone.

Our rates are fair and reasonable and you will have only an experienced attorney involved in your case. You will save money because we work hard to keep your legal fees to a minimum by resolving your case as quickly as possible.

Also beware the “$450 Divorce” Law firms offering divorces at low rates. These “divorce factories” are concerned with quantity, not quality. They won’t tell you that the filing fees in Nassau County or Suffolk County Supreme Court alone can cost $450, on top of your initial $450. Already you’re up to nearly $1,000 and they haven’t done anything yet.

Hire an experienced Long Island divorce lawyer that can resolve your divorce quickly, saving you time and money.

Getting divorced is not always the prettiest, however, Annmarie and her team made it a lot less stressful. The use of the portal and having access to everything in one place was a huge help! Going to court was made simple as Annmarie would take care of everything and answer whatever questions I had. I would highly recommend this firm to anybody seeking counsel in a divorce. They will do what you need them to do and be the type of lawyer you want on your side!

I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone at the firm. Lawrence Marino was an exceptional attorney—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient throughout a very challenging time. He handled my case with great care and ensured a successful outcome. While I wouldn’t wish divorce on anyone, if you’re dealing with a high-conflict co-parent, I highly recommend Lawrence. His expertise made a difficult process much more manageable.

I was recommended AnneMarie Lanni by a friend for the custody case I was going through last year. I had a very negative experience with a former law firm and was nervous about the state of my case. However, immediately upon retaining AnneMarie my mind was put at ease. She was always very quick to respond back to my emails/phone calls, explained complicated legal aspects to my case in easy to understand terms, and ultimately resolved my case in a timely fashion with the outcome that I had hoped for. I highly recommend AnneMarie and this firm!

Going through a divorce is never easy, but working with Hornberger Verbitsky, P.C. made the process so much more manageable. From start to finish, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to my needs. They took the time to understand my situation and provided clear, strategic guidance every step of the way.

One of the things I appreciated most was their availability—whenever I had questions or concerns, they were always there to provide answers and reassurance. Communication was seamless, and I always felt like a priority, which made a world of difference during such a stressful time.

If you’re looking for a divorce attorney who is not only highly skilled but also truly cares about their clients, I highly recommend Hornberger Verbitsky, P.C. Their dedication and expertise helped me achieve the best possible outcome, and I’m incredibly grateful for their support.

My ex and I met with Mr. Hornberger to attempt mediation. While we were unable to successfully mediate (Mr. Hornberger tried his best to help make mediation a quick and easy process). Mr. Hornberger was able to help with the sale of our house and later purchase of my new home. He was always super responsive and made the whole process super simple. Would highly recommend!

Robert Hornberger and Lawrence Marino are the best attorneys in Family Law. They handled my difficult case with aggressive professionalism, timely communication, and best of all, they achieved a very successful outcome! Patty, their paralegal, was an absolute joy, as were the rest of their kind and attentive support staff. Can’t say enough great things about them!
