Origin and Background

David Storobin arrived in the United States from the Soviet Union at age 12, later graduated from Rutgers University School of Law, and in a March 2012 special election won a seat representing Brooklyn’s 27th District in the New York State Senate — a seat vacated when his predecessor pleaded guilty to corruption charges. Storobin now serves as managing attorney at the Storobin Law Firm PLLC, which operates from a Manhattan office at 299 Broadway, a location confirmed against the firm’s own site.

What Makes This Firm Structurally Different

The Storobin Law Firm is not a matrimonial boutique; it is a multi-practice firm spanning family law, criminal defense, and personal injury, with attorneys the firm states have at least 15 years of experience apiece and who complete ongoing advanced family law coursework. Storobin’s own background as a legislator, rather than purely a litigator, is the firm’s most distinctive credential.

Practice Areas

• Divorce and family law
• Child custody, support, and father’s rights
• Adoption, guardianship, and paternity
• Prenuptial and marital agreements
• Restraining orders

Track Record

Awesome Attorneys did not identify a published, itemized table of family law settlement or custody outcomes on the firm’s site specific to matrimonial matters. Past results in any matter do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.

Client Voice

The firm’s own site features attributed client testimonials, though several concentrate on Storobin’s criminal defense work rather than family law specifically; one client wrote that Storobin “took my case when many attorneys had refused it as unwinnable” and “represented me with the utmost class and professionalism.” Awesome Attorneys did not identify testimonials specifically attributed to family law clients as distinct from the firm’s criminal and injury practices.

Beyond the Courtroom

Storobin’s history as an elected New York State Senator and his continuing media appearances as a legal commentator, including coverage by the New York Times, New York Post, and Daily News per the firm’s own biography, extend his public profile beyond individual case representation.

Recognition

Storobin has been repeatedly listed on Thomson Reuters’ “Super Lawyers” list and was named a “global legal expert” by Investor’s Business Daily, both third-party recognitions distinct from a purchased marketing placement. New York does not maintain a board-certification system for family law comparable to Texas’s TBLS or Arizona’s Board of Legal Specialization, so Awesome Attorneys does not apply “specialist” language to any New York family law attorney on that basis.

New York Legal Backdrop

New York permits no-fault divorce under Domestic Relations Law § 170(7) once a spouse swears the marriage has been irretrievably broken for at least six months. Marital property is divided under equitable distribution (DRL § 236(B)(5)) rather than an automatic 50/50 split, and spousal maintenance follows a statutory income-based formula (DRL § 236(B)(6)). Child support follows the Child Support Standards Act (DRL § 240(1-b); Family Court Act § 413), and custody determinations turn on the best-interest-of-the-child standard. None of this is legal advice; a specific divorce, custody, or support matter should be evaluated by a licensed New York attorney based on the actual facts involved.

Awesome Attorneys Assessment

The Storobin Law Firm’s clearest differentiator is its managing attorney’s unusual dual background as both a former elected legislator and a practicing family law attorney, paired with a genuine, independently documented media profile. The honest trade-off is that family law is one of three practice areas at a multi-practice firm serving New York, New Jersey, and Westchester simultaneously, and Awesome Attorneys could not locate a family-law-specific outcomes record or client review set distinct from the firm’s criminal defense and personal injury work. For a client who values an attorney with genuine legislative and media standing handling a family law matter alongside a broader legal team, that combination is a reasonable basis for a shortlist.

Methodology and Sourcing
