"...made the entire process very easy and extremely fast."
I had the pleasure of working with Riley Perry , for my uncontested divorce. She made the entire process very easy and extremely fast. Within seven days of meeting with her, she wrote and the divorce papers and they were signed by my soon to be ex wife and I. I would highly recommend this firm to all friends or family in need.

"He made you feel like he was your best friend..."
After getting a bad divorce deal with my original divorce lawyer Chris was able to help broker a more equitable deal for me. Chris always got back to me within hours be it email or call. His negotiating skills are top notch. He made u feel like he was your best friend and helped with tough decision. My only regret is not going to him sooner.

The Process
Navigating the legal landscape of family law can be overwhelming, and we are here to guide you through each step of the process:
- Consultation: Begin with a confidential consultation to discuss your unique situation. You will either meet with myself or my partner Riley Perry at our Hauppauge office, right off of Vets highway. This is an opportunity for us to understand your goals and concerns and provide an initial assessment of your case. At Palermo law, your initial consultation is always free.
- Strategy Development: Based on the consultation, we will craft a tailored legal strategy designed to achieve the best possible outcome for you. We prioritize open communication and transparency, ensuring you are informed and empowered throughout the process.
- Options Tailored to Your Needs: We want what’s best for our clients. In cases where a divorce is uncontested, where both parties are striving for a quick and amicable separation, we can serve as mediators to resolve your divorce in a quicker and more cost effective route.
- Negotiation or Litigation: In cases where mediation is not an option, we are experienced negotiators, striving to reach amicable settlements that protect your interests. However, if litigation becomes necessary, our experienced trial attorneys are prepared to vigorously advocate for you in the courtroom.
- Resolution: Our ultimate goal is to achieve a resolution that meets your needs and serves the best interests of your family. Whether through settlement or court order, we are committed to helping you move forward with confidence.
Litigation vs. Mediation:
Understanding the key differences between divorce litigation and mediation is crucial when deciding on the best approach for your case.
Divorce Litigation:
Adversarial Process: In litigation, each party hires an attorney, and the case is resolved through a court trial.
Formal Proceedings: Litigation involves formal legal procedures, court hearings, and, if necessary, a judge making decisions on contested issues.
Time-Consuming: Court proceedings can be lengthy, potentially extending the divorce process and increasing legal costs.
Decision by the Court: A judge has the final say on issues like child custody, property division, and alimony.
Mediation:
Collaborative Process: Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator facilitating communication between the parties to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
Informal and Flexible: Mediation is less formal than litigation, allowing for more flexibility in crafting solutions tailored to the family’s unique needs.
Cost-Effective and Efficient: Mediation often takes less time and is generally more cost-effective than litigation.
Empowerment: The parties actively participate in decision-making, promoting a sense of empowerment and control over the outcome.
At Chris Palermo and Riley Perry’s Family Law Firm, we are well-versed in both litigation and mediation, allowing us to recommend the approach best suited to your specific circumstances.
