Why Choose Weinrieb Law for Your Kenmore Divorce or Custody Case

Weinrieb Law approaches these cases with sensitivity to the community context as well as the legal standards.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce in Kenmore

How much does a divorce attorney cost in Kenmore, NY?

Attorney fees for divorce in Kenmore vary depending on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested and the complexity of the issues involved. Uncontested divorces with a settlement agreement are significantly less expensive than contested cases that require hearings or trial. Weinrieb Law offers a free initial phone consultation so you can understand your options before committing to representation.

How long does a divorce take in Kenmore?

An uncontested divorce in Kenmore (filed through Erie County Supreme Court) typically takes three to six months. Contested divorces involving custody, property division, or support disputes can take 12 to 24 months or longer depending on the issues and court calendar. Cases that resolve through mediation or settlement often conclude faster than those that go to trial.

Do I need a lawyer for a divorce in Kenmore, NY?

New York law does not require you to have an attorney, but family law proceedings involve complex statutory formulas, procedural requirements, and court rules that are difficult to navigate without legal training.
