Filter:
Divorce
Contested Divorce
Client Goal Achieved
Guided a client through a fully contested divorce from first filing through final resolution — every hearing, every motion, every decision point.

“He was always reachable, always prepared, and helped me understand exactly what to expect at every step of the process. I never felt like just a file number.”

S.M. — Amherst, NY  ·  Avvo
Contested Divorce
Outcome Exceeded Expectations
A client who entered the process feeling outmatched — the other side already had counsel — walked away with an outcome that exceeded what they thought possible.

“Pieter leveled the playing field immediately. He was strategic, well-prepared for every hearing, and kept me informed without overwhelming me.”

K.V. — Tonawanda, NY  ·  Google
High-Net-Worth Divorce
Assets Protected
A complex marital estate — business interests, real estate holdings, and retirement accounts — divided equitably. Assets the client feared losing were protected.

“Pieter handled every detail with precision and protected assets I thought I might lose. His knowledge of equitable distribution law in New York is exceptional.”

R.H. — Orchard Park, NY  ·  Avvo
Gray Divorce (50+)
Favorable Resolution
A 28-year marriage dissolved with careful attention to the client’s pace — patient when they needed to process, assertive when the other side pushed back.

“She was patient when I needed to slow down and assertive when the situation called for it. Truly outstanding representation.”

D.F. — Hamburg, NY  ·  Google
Children & Custody
Child Custody
Custody Arrangement Secured
After contested proceedings in Erie County Family Court, a mother and her daughter secured the custody arrangement they’d been fighting for.

“Katrina fought hard for my daughter and me. She was thorough, compassionate, and knew exactly how to present our case to the court.”

J.R. — Buffalo, NY  ·  Google
Fathers’ Rights
Shared Custody Achieved
A father who walked in expecting the worst from the court system walked out with shared custody — an outcome he’d been told was impossible.

“We achieved a shared custody arrangement I never thought was possible. He is worth every penny.”

T.B. — Clarence, NY  ·  Avvo
Fathers’ Rights
Primary Custody Awarded
A stay-at-home father whose primary caregiver role was challenged in court. Methodical case preparation ensured the judge understood his involvement — and awarded him primary custody.

“Pieter presented my case methodically and made sure the judge understood my involvement in my children’s lives. I walk away with primary custody.”

B.T. — Kenmore, NY  ·  Avvo
Child Relocation
Relocation Approved
Relocation cases are among the hardest custody disputes to win. Thorough preparation and deep knowledge of the governing case law carried the day.

“Pieter understood the law inside and out and helped me make the strongest possible case for why the move was in my children’s best interest. We prevailed.”

N.W. — Lancaster, NY  ·  Avvo
Mediation & Uncontested Divorce
Divorce Mediation
Agreement Reached Without Litigation
A couple determined to stay out of court reached a complete mediated agreement — covering custody, support, and property — faster and at a fraction of the cost of litigation.

“He kept things constructive and helped us reach a fair agreement without dragging our kids through litigation. The process was faster and far less expensive than I expected.”

L.K. — Williamsville, NY  ·  Google
Uncontested Divorce
Finalized Efficiently
Both spouses agreed on the major issues. A complete separation agreement was drafted covering custody, support, and property — and the divorce was finalized in a fraction of the time a contested case would have taken.

“We finalized everything in a fraction of the time a contested divorce would have taken.”

C.G. — Grand Island, NY  ·  Google
Support Modifications
Child Support Modification
Obligation Adjusted
After a significant income change, a client’s child support obligation no longer reflected reality. We petitioned for a downward modification — and the court agreed.

“Katrina made it straightforward and got my obligation adjusted to reflect my actual income. She was knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to communicate with throughout.”

M.C. — Cheektowaga, NY  ·  Google
Orders of Protection
Order of Protection
Protection Secured
A client in a frightening situation reached out on short notice. Emergency protection was secured within days — and the client was kept informed and supported at every step.

“Pieter was calm, moved quickly to get me protected, and made sure I understood my rights throughout. I felt like I had a true advocate in my corner from the very first phone call.”

A.P. — West Seneca, NY  ·  Avvo
