Seamless correspondence, extraordinarily attentive, and a wide range of knowledge is what sets Andrew Proto apart from others. He has helped us more than once, and both times took us through the steps of what happens in all circumstances. Time, thorough explanation, and sense of calm is exactly what we needed when we required an attorney. Everything handled in a timely manner, and we are so thankful. Don't hesitate to call him. Thank you, Andrew, once again.

Good afternoon everyone, I want to share my experience with the PROTO lawyers, which was the best option I could have made. The lawyer Andrew was very kind and attentive to my needs, he answered all my questions and his office team always with great kindness and respect.

Couldn't Be Happier With My Case
Only great things to say about Keith Brown. From start to finish, he was attentive and responded to each phone call or email, usually within the hour. Honestly, I really couldn’t be happier with how well my case was handled. From the receptionist to Mr. Brown, they took a situation that seemed like a lost cause and figured it out. Answered every question that I could think of and most importantly to me, he gave me a timeline and stood by it. All in all, I couldn’t have hoped for things to have been handled any better.

Jonathan Furtado
Andrew Proto: A Miracle Worker
If you are in need of a lawyer who will fight for real justice, who is familiar with the courts and their players in the Westchester area, hire Andrew Proto. Not only did he get my case dismissed quickly and efficiently but after speaking with the DA the charges were withdrawn by the prosecution themselves, admitting that they never should have been brought in the first place. Andrew Proto is a miracle worker, who will get you the justice you deserve. I couldn’t possibly more highly recommend.
Eric Meyerson
Quickest Divorce I've Heard Of
Keith represented me in my divorce and was excellent. He took the time to listen to what I want, made various recommendations accompanied by possible ramifications of each option. Getting a divorce in NY can be quite the nightmare, but Keith made it easy to get through, which says quite a lot. It was the quickest divorce I have ever heard of, and that was my top priority. I am so grateful I made the decision to go with Keith. Given the number of divorce attorneys here in Westchester/NYC, choosing the right one is critical to one’s sanity and ease through all the pain a divorce naturally creates. I’m very happy I chose Keith.
Jennifer S. Comins
Absolutely Amazing Service
I, like many of you, come to the review section before committing to making a choice. Let me tell you, Mr. Andrew Proto was absolutely amazing. He helped me beat several summons and save my license. The office secretary was always nice and kept me updated. Thank you, Mr. Proto.
Mike B
Tickets Dismissed
Today is an amazing day. I greatly appreciate David for helping me in a situation I was unaware of. I was accused of speeding in a school zone, and as a result, my license was suspended without my knowledge. David had received my case and was able to get both of my tickets dismissed. The news of this outcome was a weight lifted off my shoulders. Should anyone need assistance pertaining to legal matters, I highly recommend him. Thank you again, David R. Sachs.
Sasha Baker
Worth every penny
I just wanted to take a moment to express how grateful I am that Irene Martinez has represented me and advocated for me throughout my contentious divorce and resultant child custody arguments. She was always honest and real with me (even if it sometimes wasn’t something I wanted to hear) and has helped me maintain sanity during this arduous process. I always got off the phone with her feeling protected and comforted. I have always felt like she truly, personally cares about me and my family and achieving a fair outcome. My case is still pending but likely to wrap up soon with the exact outcome I wanted all along. She was and has been worth every single penny. Thank you, Irene.
Holly Parker
Fantastic Experience with Andrew
My experience working with Andrew was fantastic. He represented me during two very stressful cases, both of which he resolved in my favor. Throughout them, Andrew was helpful and efficient, laid all of my options in front of me, and talked me through which was the best one. He was very transparent about the costs and what I was paying for and didn't waste any time. I wholeheartedly recommend him. He's a shark, and I mean that in the best possible way. He's the guy who you really want on your side in court.
Mike Harang
Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Attorney
David R. Sachs handled my son’s adult adoption. Throughout the entire process, he was responsive and forthcoming with updates. The day of, he arrived at the courthouse brimming with enthusiasm. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney and will certainly use David for any legal needs in the future.

To modify a divorce decree, you must file a petition with the court. Changes in circumstances, such as income or living arrangements, can justify modifications to support or custody orders.
What is an uncontested divorce?
An uncontested divorce occurs when both parties agree on all terms, including property division, child custody, and support, making the process relatively quicker and less costly.
What if my spouse does not want a divorce?
If your spouse does not want a divorce, you can still file. The court will likely have a hearing, but a divorce can be granted even without mutual agreement if the marriage is irretrievably broken.
How is child custody determined in a divorce?
Child custody is determined based on the child's best interests, considering factors like the child's age, health, emotional ties, the parents' lifestyle, and the child's preference, if they're old enough.
