A native of Long Island, Florence Fass began
her 26 year career in the corporate
litigation department of one of New York
City’s “top ten” law firms. Ms. Fass soon
joined two prominent Nassau County divorce
firms, becoming a partner in one of them,
and later launched her own firm in 1995.
Since its inception, the focus of the firm
has always been to provide the highest
quality of legal representation in the
field. As a result, Ms. Fass is widely
respected as a leading matrimonial
practitioner, being both a distinguished
attorney and a certified divorce mediator.
Ms. Fass serves as an outstanding and
frequent lecturer for the New York State,
Nassau County, and Suffolk County Bar
Associations, sharing her knowledge with the
judiciary, her colleagues, and the public
through personal appearances and radio and
TV commentaries. She prides herself on being
in the forefront of the current developments
in matrimonial and family law, believing it
to be crucial to the effective
representation of the firm’s clientele.
Given her extensive experience, Ms. Fass is
uniquely familiar with the complex financial
aspects of the New York State equitable
distribution law, while continuing to
maintain an awareness and appreciation of
the enormous stress which the divorce
process places on the client. Ms. Fass
believes that she serves her clients best by
helping them to focus on the financial
realities of their cases, while handling
their emotional concerns with the patience
and respect they deserve. Her goal in each
case is to recognize when a case is ready
for resolution, and to work with a client in
choosing a resolution that is in their best
interest. Outside of the office, Ms. Fass
enjoys charity work for under-privileged
children, and ballroom dancing.
