Get peace of mind by having your NY uncontested divorce prepared by an experienced uncontested divorce lawyer- while saving hundreds, even thousands of dollars

My name is Paul Matthews. I am a NYC divorce lawyer who has been practicing matrimonial and family law in Manhattan for over 12 years. My divorce practice focuses on affordable NY uncontested divorces. My fees start at $499 (plus court costs) for a simple case without children or property issues. For more complex cases  or cases that you can’t quite work out with your spouse,  I can negotiate with your spouse and try to avoid a long, drawn out, bitter, and expensive contested divorce. 

Avoid mistakes and delays by using an experienced divorce lawyer, instead of trying to do it yourself or using an unlicensed, unregulated and unreliable paralegal or “document assembly” non- lawyer service. My goal is to make the divorce process as fast, easy, and painless for you as possible.  Call me to get started right away.  

Real Lawyer, real service, discount price

I promise that I, not a paralegal or junior lawyer, will personally prepare all of the papers necessary for your uncontested divorce.  We can sit down in my office to discuss your particular situation, or, if you prefer,  I can do your uncontested divorce with no office visit, no lost time from work. Everything can be done over the phone, through the mail, and/ or though email.

 Even though I have a lot of experience doing uncontested divorces and have the latest software to assist me, when I file your divorce papers I arrange for one of the court’s matrimonial clerks to give the papers a final “once-over” to make sure that they comply not only with all of the legal requirements, but also with the customs and practices of the courthouse where the papers are filed.  This personal attention is designed to avoid unnecessary mistakes and delays. After the papers are filed I follow-up to make sure that the process is going smoothly. My fees are very reasonable - only slightly  more than fees charged by fly by night services set up in storefronts by non-lawyers.

Small Claims Court- you don’t have to go there alone

In  addition to being a NYC uncontested divorce lawyer I  also represent people in New York Small Claims Court in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens counties.  My fees for a Small Claims suit start at $300.00.  Since the Small Claims Court now has the power to decide cases of up to $5000.00,  you can afford a lawyer to represent you. I have tried hundreds of cases in the Small Claims Courts of New York , Brooklyn, and Queens counties.

Get started today! I am waiting for your call.

Unlike most lawyers, I answer my own phone. If I miss your call, I will call you back promptly, usually within a few hours, and almost always by the next day (except for weekends and vacations).   Please call me for a no obligation initial telephone consultation for your uncontested divorce or other matter. However, there is no free telephone consultation on contested divorces, as in these complex matters, I believe that a brief telephone consultation would do you a disservice.
