Do You Need Representation for Divorce in New York City?

Tension in the home is very difficult for families to experience, and at times, a divorce may be the best option. If you are considering filing for divorce in NYC, we encourage you to contact our office to discuss the details before you take the step to file. What you do prior to filing divorce could impact a court decision, such as moving out of the family home, moving assets, or other similar actions.

Whether you are seeking a simple divorce or you expect to have every detail vigorously challenged, we are prepared to protect your rights throughout the process. With extensive experience in both contested and uncontested divorces, you can trust that our New York attorney is equipped to walk you through the process. Our professional resources are highly respected in their fields, including forensic accountants and child experts.

Have You Been Arrested for a Crime?

When facing charges for a misdemeanor or felony offense, the trial skills of your New York City criminal lawyer are a critical element in the outcome of your case. You cannot take chances in cases in which your freedom could be taken from you by the criminal justice system. Our 24 hour criminal attorney's early involvement in your case could mean the difference between freedom and a conviction.

When we take on a case, our goal is to protect your rights as a defendant. The police in New York City make serious errors every day, and your case may be open to a dismissal for certain actions that have been taken during your arrest, in searching your person or your home or car, or in the interrogation process.

One of the most critical points in a criminal case is the arraignment. We can serve as immediate counsel for arrested individuals. We are available 24/7 and can provide the formidable advocacy you need to protect you in questioning and represent you at arraignment. The arraignment hearing is a critical point in the criminal justice process, and without aggressive defense counsel at your side, there could be disastrous results.

Client Testimonials

Kind Words from Real People
    “Knowledgeable, very determined, trustworthy, dedicated to his profession”
    Simply an outstanding Counsel! Knowledgeable, very determined, trustworthy, dedicated to his profession and always willing to schedule an appointment with you to address any questions or concerns you may have. My girlfriend (who is currently my wife) and I went to see him because we wanted to get marry but were unable to because her x-husband made it difficult for her to end the marriage legally. He acted like a gangster and constantly made threats making it impossible for her to begin a new life. As a consequence this created a lot of tension and emotional stress in our relationship and to be perfectly honest with you I was beginning to see a very vague future for us. Her divorce dragged in court but thank God that my wife had someone like Peter representing her for after a very lengthy and ugly battle in court she was able to obtain a divorce. Peter is simply outstanding and we thank him for all the work that he put into my wife's case.

    “Their 24-hour promptitude is amazing, and they were able to dismiss both cases very quickly.”
    It is definitely a 5/5. I have had 2 cases where Perez & Cedeño represented me, and they were able to set both even better than I hoped. Their 24-hour promptitude is amazing, and they were able to dismiss both cases very quickly. Also, whenever I had doubt, Mr. Perez would always take my calls or have me in his office to make me feel more comfortable. I strongly recommend their services.

    “The level of professionalism; dedication; compassion and customer service exhibited by Mr. Perez is not common in the industry.”
    As an attorney at law in the State of New Jersey I generally receive calls from friends and family members seeking assistance and/or advice. Generally I can offer some level of assistance and guidance. That said, I am not licensed in New York nor do I practice criminal law. As such, when I received a call from a close friend in the early morning hours of a recent Saturday explaining that he had been arrested I immediately called them. Much to my surprise, my call was personally answered by Mr. Perez despite the fact that it was after midnight. Mr. Perez explained the process to me in a calm and professional manner and appeared just hours later at central booking to enter an appearance and represent my friend. Throughout the entire process Mr. Perez kept me and my friend’s family members up to date regarding the situation via phone call and text message exhibiting confidence in a candid and professional manner. Ultimately, Mr. Perez was able to achieve a favorable resolution of the issue as the matter was ultimately dismissed. As an attorney I can tell you, the level of professionalism; dedication; compassion and customer service exhibited by Mr. Perez is not common in the industry. If the need arises do not hesitate to contact them, you will be in good hands.
