Origin and Background

Since 2002, Ella Royzman has run her Brooklyn matrimonial practice from a single office on Coney Island Avenue, and the firm’s own site makes a specific claim that most legal marketing operations avoid: that most of its work comes from referrals — past clients, attorneys, and other professionals — rather than paid advertising. The Brooklyn office was confirmed against the firm’s own site.

What Makes This Firm Structurally Different

Royzman’s practice is not a multi-attorney matrimonial shop; per the firm’s site, “every client gets personal attention from the beginning to the end of their case,” a structural claim consistent with a solo practitioner rather than a firm that hands cases between associates. The firm states it regularly appears in Supreme and Family Courts across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, the Bronx, Nassau County, and Westchester County.

Practice Areas

• Divorce and equitable distribution
• Child custody and parenting time
• Child support and paternity
• Spousal support
• Mediation, negotiation, and litigation
• Prenuptial, postnuptial, and cohabitation agreements
• Orders of protection and family offense petitions
• Relocation petitions and jurisdictional disputes

Track Record

Awesome Attorneys did not identify a published, itemized table of settlement or custody outcomes on the firm’s site, consistent with a referral-driven solo practice rather than one marketed on published results. Past results in any matter do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future matter.

Client Voice

Awesome Attorneys did not identify a published set of itemized, attributed client reviews on the firm’s own site as of the research date.

Beyond the Courtroom

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

Recognition

Awesome Attorneys did not identify a Martindale-Hubbell or Super Lawyers rating for this attorney on the pages reviewed. 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

Royzman’s clearest differentiator is longevity paired with a referral-based model: more than two decades in the same Brooklyn office, with the firm stating that most new clients arrive through past-client and professional referrals rather than advertising. The honest trade-off is scale — a solo practice covering seven counties’ worth of courts cannot offer the bench depth of a multi-attorney firm for a client who needs simultaneous representation across several complex, document-intensive fronts, and Awesome Attorneys could not locate an independent outcomes record or third-party peer rating to weigh against the firm’s own description. For a Brooklyn-area client who values continuity with a single, experienced attorney over a larger firm’s resources, that trade-off is a reasonable basis for a shortlist.
