What to Expect in Erie County Courts

Grand Island falls within Erie County's court jurisdiction. Erie County Family Court handles custody, support, paternity, and family offense matters; Erie County Supreme Court handles divorce and property division. We appear in these courts regularly and understand their procedural requirements.

Weinrieb Law appears regularly in Erie County Family Court and Erie County Supreme Court on behalf of clients from Grand Island 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.

Experienced with Grand Island’s Specific Challenges

Grand Island families considering divorce often have unique circumstances: island properties that may not appraise like mainland counterparts, strong school community ties that influence custody discussions, and the practical logistics of parenting schedules when one parent eventually relocates off the island. Weinrieb Law has experience navigating these specific dynamics.

Family law is all we do. Pieter G. Weinrieb has practiced exclusively in divorce and family law for over 25 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.
