Attorney

For more than 20 years, I've practiced in New York's family courts. I founded Perlmutter Law Firm PC in 2008, and I handle family law matters in Queens Family Court and Queens County Supreme Court.

Before opening my firm, I spent almost five years with the NYC Administration for Children's Services, Family Court Legal Services, in Queens County. There I represented the City and its contracted agencies in child abuse and neglect cases. I was promoted to team leader, supervising a team of attorneys, consulting on thousands of cases, and carrying my own caseload. That experience gives me a practical understanding of how these cases are built and how to respond to them.

Today I represent both adults and children through the Assigned Counsel Plan in Queens Family Court. I'm also privately retained on family and matrimonial matters, including:

• Custody and visitation
• Child support and paternity
• Family offenses and orders of protection
• Divorce and matrimonial matters
• Abuse and neglect proceedings
• Foster care litigation
• Juvenile delinquency
• Termination of parental rights
• Adoption

I earned my law degree from Hofstra University School of Law, where I participated in the Child Advocacy Clinic, and my undergraduate degree from the University at Albany. I was admitted to the New York Bar in 2003. I'm a member of the New York State Bar Association and the Queens County Bar Association. Recognized by Super Lawyers in 2026.
