Divorce Attorney in Amherst, NY

Weinrieb Law is based in Williamsville — in the heart of the Town of Amherst. When Amherst families face a divorce, custody dispute, or support matter, we are a short drive away, not a 45-minute commute downtown. We represent residents across Amherst, including Snyder, Eggertsville, and the neighborhoods near UB South Campus, and we appear regularly in Erie County Family Court and Erie County Supreme Court on their behalf.

Amherst is one of the most sought-after communities in Western New York. Clients here often have complex financial situations — dual incomes, real estate, retirement accounts, business interests — and the stakes in a divorce are real. We bring the depth of focus to match.

What to Expect in Erie County Courts

Erie County Family Court handles custody, visitation, child support, paternity, and family offense petitions. Erie County Supreme Court handles divorce proceedings, equitable distribution of marital property, and spousal maintenance. Amherst residents will file in Erie County courts, and navigating the procedural requirements of those courts benefits greatly from counsel with local experience.

Weinrieb Law appears regularly in Erie County Family Court and Erie County Supreme Court on behalf of clients from Amherst and throughout the surrounding area. We know the local procedural requirements, the expectations of the bench, and how to navigate the scheduling and compliance demands that can trip up families who try to manage these proceedings without experienced local counsel.

Why Choose Weinrieb Law for Your Amherst Divorce or Custody Case

Amherst families face the same range of family law challenges as families anywhere — divorce, custody disputes, support issues, and the need to protect assets and relationships during a difficult transition. Weinrieb Law was founded and is based in the Amherst/Williamsville community. We are genuinely local, and our attorneys understand the area, the courts, and the circumstances specific to families here.

Family law is all we do. Pieter G. Weinrieb has practiced exclusively in divorce and family law for over 20 years. Katrina M. Loss focuses her practice on child custody, family offense, child support, and paternity. Together, they cover the full spectrum of family law issues — with depth and focus that general-practice firms cannot match.

Litigation and mediation under one roof. Pieter is both a litigator and a 42-hour certified family and divorce mediator. If your situation can be resolved through mediation, that path is available and often faster and less costly than litigation. If it requires courtroom advocacy, we are prepared for that as well.

Direct attorney communication. At Weinrieb Law, you work with your attorney — not primarily with paralegals or support staff. We return calls and emails promptly and treat clients as partners in their own cases.
