Long Island Divorce Lawyer

Handling Divorce & Family Law Issues in Nassau, Suffolk & Queens

Hello, and welcome to my website. I am attorney Jay D. Raxenberg, and I offer experienced legal counsel, representation, and services to individuals and families throughout Suffolk, Nassau, and Queens with divorce and family-related legal issues. As a Long Island divorce attorney, I am fully committed to protecting my clients' legal rights and interests.

I created this website as a tool to help people with their legal matters, offering trusted information regarding a variety of family law and matrimonial issues. Family law issues are very different from other types of legal matters. You are not only dealing with breaking up a romantic partnership; in many cases, entire families and households are involved. I know that this requires a delicate touch combined with an unmatched knowledge of the legal system as it applies to families and divorce. I believe in taking a solution-oriented approach to my cases to help avoid unnecessary and possibly lengthy litigation. Sometimes, however, the best efforts at ending a divorce amicably can be thwarted. If this is the case, you can rest assured that I will use my extensive litigation experience to do everything I can to advocate your best interests.

Divorce & Family Law: Practice Areas
If you are considering filing for a divorce or are dealing with another family law issue, I have the experience and dedication necessary to resolve your case. You need legal advice in regards to a cohabitation agreement or marriage contract, I can review your case and make sure that all the legal processes and paperwork are completed correctly. I can give you the information you need to decide if a legal separation is right for you.
