Going through a divorce is never easy, but Hornberger Verbitsky made the process smooth, respectful, and solution-focused. I worked closely with attorney Anne Marie Lanni, who was outstanding in every way. She resolved conflicts with professionalism, communicated clearly and effectively, and authored an agreement that was thoughtful and fair. Her attention to detail and calm, competent approach gave me real peace of mind.
Lead attorney Rob was also fantastic—personable, friendly, and genuinely supportive throughout. He made a tough process feel manageable and always took time to check in and make sure I felt heard and supported.
The team’s commitment to a problem-solving approach, their impressive professional network, and even their supportive nature and community values really set them apart. I felt like more than just a case—I felt cared for and well-represented.
Highly recommend Hornberger Verbitsky if you want trusted guidance and a team that gets results with integrity and compassion.

I engaged Mr. Lawrence M. Marino, Esq. for a legal consultation regarding a highly sensitive family law matter, and his guidance exceeded my expectations. He demonstrated exceptional skill as a legal writer and researcher, explaining complex legal issues with clarity, precision, and sound judgment.
Throughout the consultation, Lawrence was thorough, strategic, and thoughtful in his analysis. He approached the matter with professionalism and discretion, offering clear direction and practical insight during a very difficult situation.
I found Lawrence to be knowledgeable, dependable, and measured in his advocacy, and I would not hesitate to seek his counsel again or recommend his legal services to others facing serious and sensitive family law issues

Frequently Asked Questions About Contacting Us
Is there a charge for the initial consultation?
Hornberger Verbitsky, P.C. offers a complimentary initial consultation for many family law and divorce matters. During your consultation, an attorney will discuss your situation, answer your questions, and explain the legal options available to you. If your matter falls outside the scope of a complimentary consultation, we will explain any fees before scheduling your appointment.
What’s the best way to schedule a consultation?
You can schedule a consultation by calling 631-923-1910 or by completing the short form on this page.
How quickly will someone respond after I contact your office?
We understand that family law matters are often time-sensitive. If you call during normal business hours, a member of our team will usually speak with you right away or return your call as soon as possible. If you submit our online contact form after hours, we will contact you on the next business day to discuss your situation and schedule a consultation.
Is my information kept confidential when I reach out?
Yes. Your initial consultation is a completely confidential communication that does not create an attorney-client relationship unless, and until, you formally retain Hornberger Verbitsky, P.C.
Can I schedule a virtual or phone consultation?
Yes. We offer in-person consultations at our Commack office as well as telephone and virtual consultations when appropriate. Consultations can take place in the manner that works best for you, either in person at our office in Commack, by phone, or by video conference. Many clients appreciate the convenience of meeting remotely, particularly if they have demanding work schedules, childcare responsibilities, or live outside the immediate area.
What types of legal issues can I discuss during my consultation?
You may discuss all aspects of family law issues, including, but not limited to:
- Contested and uncontested divorce
- Divorce mediation and collaborative divorce
- Child custody and child support
- Spousal maintenance (alimony)
- Equitable distribution of property
- Paternity, child abuse/neglect defenses; prenuptial agreements; and more
What should I bring to my initial consultation?
You do not need to have every document before meeting with us, but bringing any relevant information can make your consultation more productive. If you have documents available, the following may prove helpful:
- Court documents or legal filings related to your case
- Financial records, including bank statements and tax returns
- Information about assets and debts
- Income documentation, such as pay stubs or employer letters
- Any agreements, such as a prenuptial or separation agreement
- Existing custody or support orders
- Relevant correspondence related to your case or marriage
- A list of questions or concerns you would like to discuss
If you do not have any documents yet, that is fine; you can still schedule your consultation. Your attorney will guide you through exactly what is needed based on your situation.
Is my consultation confidential?
Yes. Everything you discuss with our office during your initial consultation is handled confidentially. You can speak openly about your concerns, your family, your finances, and your goals without worrying that the information will be shared outside our office.
What if I'm only considering divorce and haven't made a decision yet?
Many people contact us before deciding whether to file for divorce. An early consultation allows you to understand your legal rights, the divorce process in New York, and the potential financial and parenting issues that may arise. Having accurate information early often helps people make better decisions before taking any major steps.
What if I have an urgent family law issue?
Some family law matters require immediate attention, including being served with divorce papers, concerns about child custody or parenting time, domestic violence, violations of court orders, or the risk that marital assets could be transferred or concealed. If your situation is urgent, let us know when you contact our office so we can determine how quickly an attorney should speak with you.
What if my spouse has already hired a lawyer?
You should still speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Once your spouse has legal representation, it is generally in your best interest to have your own attorney protecting your interests. We can explain your options, review any documents you have received, and help you respond appropriately.
