Maria Mateo PC (4.8 across 209 reviews) and Claudio & Associates (4.5 across 242) follow on volume, while Natalie Markfeld Law and Law Offices of Andreas Vasilatos both hold 4.9 on smaller review bases.

How the scores work

These numbers come from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google average. Review volume is how many people have rated the firm, compared with other Queens family lawyers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people counts for more than a 4.9 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently clients still post reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What do Queens divorce and custody cases cost? (2026)

We found no reliable local price list, so we are not quoting figures. Cost usually depends on whether the divorce is contested, whether children and custody are involved, how much property is in dispute, and whether the firm bills flat or hourly. Ask for a written fee agreement and what any retainer covers before you sign.

How many contested custody cases have you handled in Queens?

Frequently asked questions

Why does a firm with a lower rating rank above higher-rated ones?

Review volume counts alongside the rating. Claudio & Associates holds 242 reviews at 4.5, more than Natalie Markfeld Law (151 at 4.9) or Law Offices of Andreas Vasilatos (99 at 4.9), so the scorecard weighs it differently.

Do any of these firms offer Spanish-language service?

Claudio & Associates states on its site that it serves clients in English and Spanish. Ask any other office directly about language support.

Final word

Law Offices of Donald Mastrodomenico, P.C. is the safe default on review depth. Natalie Markfeld Law and Law Offices of Andreas Vasilatos are worth a call if you value a 4.9 rating over a bigger crowd. Whichever you pick, get fees in writing.
