We are your mid-Hudson Valley divorce, family law, and general litigation counsel — but we are more than that. Divorce clients may be in the midst of the most difficult times in their lives. Our talents lie in our ability to shepherd clients through the process as quickly, painlessly, and cost-effectively as possible.
Collaborative when possible. Fierce when necessary. Always doggedly in pursuit of our client's interest.
Scott Rotman, Esq.
At the Law Office of Scott Rotman you are a person and you will be treated that way. Our firm's culture is based on personal attention, compassion, and a primary focus on what our clients need and deserve.
Most parties to a divorce, whether they are seeking the divorce or not, are navigating one of the most difficult times of their lives. If you find yourself in this circumstance, understand that divorce also is a way out of a bad situation; the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel exists. Understand also that you are not alone.
When you have questions, I will do my best to give you answers. Answers to these questions — from "What is happening to me?" to "How long does the New York divorce process take?" — are critical tools that enable you to understand your situation and your path forward, and help define the light at the end of your tunnel.
When you are not sure what the best result might be, I will help you define it. You deserve these answers because you are a person, not a checkbook, not a wallet, not a number. In my office, you are always a person.
At the Law Office of Scott Rotman, we take on general litigation cases focusing in the following areas. If you need help in a legal field not listed here, we have affiliates who can help you.
Whether your case is fault or no-fault, contested or uncontested, we have the experience, knowledge, insight and compassion to help you navigate the divorce process with an eye to thoroughly, quickly and cost-effectively affording you the best opportunity to move on with your life.
Post-judgment matters such as custody, support or maintenance modifications can prolong the stress that originated during or before a divorce. We have the breadth of experience to handle with knowledge and confidence any issue that comes your way.
Often, the best circumstance either during a divorce or during a post-judgment action is a collaborative in which both parties recognize the benefit of cooperation and agree to mediation. We are here to foster and facilitate that cooperation when possible — and to fight for you when collaboration is not.
If you are injured, you need competent, knowledgeable advocacy and close personal attention to ensure that your interests are being protected. We work closely with you, your doctors, and other experts to set forth a case with the best possible chance of success.
Our practice includes compliance with local, state and federal land use laws. In New York these may include NEPA and SEQRA, as well as laws addressing wetlands, water quality, air quality, cultural resources, and endangered species. We have a thorough, intimate familiarity with these laws and the process required to achieve compliance.
Finding yourself in trouble with the law is ultimately stressful. Retaining strong, experienced counsel often is the key to achieving a just, acceptable result. We have the experience to help you fight to achieve the best possible result.
