Through his podcast, Split: A Podcast on Modern Divorce, social media presence, and thought leadership, Gus has become a leading voice on the realities of modern family conflict — giving clients clarity, perspective, and fierce representation when the stakes are highest.

How long does a divorce in New York take?
Every case is different. Uncontested divorces may resolve within a few months, while contested matters involving custody, business valuations, or complex financial issues can take a year or longer. Our approach is focused on moving matters efficiently while protecting our clients’ long-term interests.
Do you handle cases outside Westchester?
Yes. The firm regularly practices in New York City, Putnam, Dutchess, Rockland, and Orange Counties.
What does an initial consultation cost?
We offer a paid and confidential initial consultation. Our team will explain the consultation process and fee structure clearly before any engagement begins.
Will my matter be handled discreetly?
Absolutely. Discretion is foundational to our practice. We routinely represent executives, business owners, physicians, attorneys, entrepreneurs, and public-facing individuals whose privacy and reputation require careful protection.
Do you handle custody disputes and high-conflict parenting matters?
Yes. We represent parents in complex custody and parenting disputes, including cases involving relocation, parental alienation, mental health concerns, substance abuse allegations, and emergency applications affecting children.
Do you handle high-net-worth and complex asset divorces?
Yes. The firm regularly represents clients in matters involving closely held businesses, professional practices, executive compensation, real estate portfolios, trusts, private investments, and other sophisticated financial structures.
Will I have direct access to my attorney?
Yes. We believe strong communication and responsiveness are critical, particularly during emotionally and financially significant matters. Clients receive direct, strategic guidance throughout the process.
Can my divorce be resolved without going to trial?
Many cases are resolved through negotiated settlement, mediation, or strategic litigation management. However, we prepare every case as though it may proceed to trial, which often strengthens our clients’ position at the negotiating table.
Do you handle emergency family law matters?
Yes. We regularly assist clients with emergency applications involving custody, financial restraints, protective orders, and other time-sensitive family law issues requiring immediate court intervention.
