Long Island Divorce Lawyers & Family Law Attorneys

If you’re looking for an experienced family attorney to help you navigate the constant theatrics, manipulations, and deceitful behaviors of a high-conflict narcissist, then look no further than Robert Hornberger and AnneMarie Lanni. I retained AnneMarie and Robert for both my child support case and as my custody/visitation case. I can’t even begin to describe the absolute dumpster fire of a mess I was dealing with, nor could I ever describe the comfort and peace of mind I felt knowing that I was represented by two of the most talented, trusted professionals. My cases dragged on for years with no resolution, until now.

AnneMarie always kept my tight finances in mind as she strategized and helped to set court dates on a timeline which I could financially meet. AnneMarie’s attention to detail and genuine knowledge of my case shined strong as she assisted me in drafting several documents. It was always clear to me that AnneMarie and Robert truly cared about my son and wanted to help protect him. AnneMarie effortlessly demonstrated for the court how my ex played every game in the book, citing poverty and difficulty finding work as reasons for not paying child support for upwards of 5 years, and then days later being dishonest in the custody/visitation case that she hadn’t been showing up to visitation for months because she had to work to pay the child support. AnneMarie’s clever tactics helped to expose the inexcusable untruth that my ex couldn’t afford to pay for my son’s child support because she was paying for another child’s support.

AnneMarie’s knowledge, excellent communication, and professionalism helped to stop the circus nonsense right in its tracks as she diligently coordinated with my son’s attorney to further expose the constant and ongoing neglect, refute the ridiculous claim of parental alienation, and highlight every inconsistency, including the most deplorable lie of all: that my ex had cancer. AnneMarie’s compassion and humor helped me to cope with watching my ex show up for each court date wobbling around with a cane and walker, pretending she couldn’t walk due to treatments that never even existed, demanding more time from the judge with my son which she never even bothered to show up to.

After more than 9 years of dealing with the court system allowing my narcissistic ex to mentally abuse my son and use every loophole and excuse possible to weaponize the court to mentally and financially abuse me for years on end, I finally got to see swift justice served. AnneMarie and Robert helped shed light for the support judge on the constant games and lies, leading to a well-deserved jail sentence. AnneMarie advocated for my son’s wishes and mental health every step of the way, and got the visitation reduced from sleepovers to supervised visitation in a public location. AnneMarie coordinated diligently with opposing counsel to challenge the inconsistencies, utter lack of communication, and dishonest theatrics, leading to opposing counsel dropping my ex.

Thanks to AnneMarie and Robert, the judge is finally seeing what is in the best interests of my son; I’m confident that I will prevail in the upcoming custody trial to continue to retain full custody of my son and to protect him from any further harm.

A true thank you to everyone on the Hornberger Verbitsky team for everything you’ve done for my son and my family. I could never explain in words the positive impact you’ve helped to make on my son’s life. Thanks to your representation, my son is on the road to recovery and thriving.
