Origin and Background

For more than 35 years, Donald Mastrodomenico’s Forest Hills practice has taken a specific, unusually verifiable-sounding claim as its central pitch: that local matrimonial judges have referred their own family and friends to the firm, and that judges have themselves retained the practice for their own divorces. The Forest Hills, Queens office was confirmed against multiple independent business listings.

What Makes This Firm Structurally Different

Unlike general-practice firms that treat family law as one of several offerings, Mastrodomenico’s practice states it is “solely dedicated to family law and divorce issues.” The firm also leads with an unusual statistic: that close to half of divorces are rejected by New York courts due to attorney paperwork errors, and positions its filing accuracy as a structural differentiator against that failure rate.

Practice Areas

• Contested and uncontested divorce
• Child custody and support
• Spousal support
• Domestic violence matters
• Property division
• Annulments and separation agreements

Track Record

Awesome Attorneys did not identify a published, itemized table of settlement or custody outcomes on the firm’s site; the firm instead publicizes case volume, stating it files more than 400 divorce cases annually. Past results in any matter do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.

Client Voice

The firm has accumulated several hundred reviews on independent platforms including Yelp and Birdeye. Recurring themes in independently posted reviews include praise for responsive email communication and clear explanations during the divorce process; one reviewer specifically credited staff member Angel for being “very quick in replying to any emails regarding the status of my divorce.” Awesome Attorneys did not identify a pattern of negative reviews among those examined as of the research date.

Beyond the Courtroom

Awesome Attorneys did not identify specific published community or pro bono activity for this firm as of the research date.

Recognition

The firm was named winner in the Divorce Lawyer category by QNS’s “Best of the Boro” in the year reviewed, a local media reader-driven recognition distinct from a peer-reviewed legal credential. 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). 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

Mastrodomenico’s clearest differentiator is volume paired with a genuinely exclusive family-law focus: a firm that says it files more divorce cases annually than any competitor in the area, backed by several hundred independently posted client reviews. The honest trade-off is that Awesome Attorneys could not independently verify the firm’s most striking claims — the 400-cases-per-year figure and the account of matrimonial judges personally retaining the practice — beyond the firm’s own marketing, and a high-volume practice model may mean less individualized attention on any single complex matter than a boutique offers. For a Queens or Brooklyn client with a relatively standard divorce who values a firm with substantial local family court volume and a strong base of client reviews, that trade-off is a reasonable basis for a shortlist.
