About Law Firm

The Law Office Of Richard L Filiberto serves Putnam, Westchester and Dutchess Counties and the surrounding area. The practice is a personal family oriented practice with an emphasis on matters that unfortunately confront each of us from time to time.

We are available to consult and advise you on personal matters including Wills, Trusts and Estates questions, Guardianship matters, Elder Law issues, Divorce and Family Court matters such as Custody, Visitation and Child Support, Criminal Defense, General Civil Litigation including Personal Injury, Automobile Accidents, Slip and Fall cases, Landlord – Tenant law, Property Law, Mental Hygiene Law, Kendra's Law (AOT), Involuntary Commitment matters, Civil Rights and Alternate Dispute Resolution.

 Mr. Filiberto is also an experienced litigator with significant Court experience in jury and non jury trials.

While there is a very structured set of procedures in the litigation process, those procedures can change with the twists and turns of a case, and change in ways you don’t anticipate. Good litigators are prepared, and not easily rattled by the unexpected. For many lawyers and clients, it is their goal not to go to trial. In fact, most issues filed in court conclude in settlement. Once in the courtroom, however, a lawyer who is a litigator is crucial to the success of any case. A litigator, such as Mr. Filiberto, has a refined skill set combining oratory skills with legal analysis and cross examination skill, all gauged to convince a judge and/or a jury of his client’s position.

 If you have a matter you feel may need a litigator, or if you find it smart to start with a lawyer that has the skill set to litigate your case if necessary, don’t hesitate to call today.

Mr. Filiberto also consults with the profession on Mental Hygiene Law matters, Grievance matters, CPL 330.20 matters and represents both clients and the profession in Legal Fee Dispute Arbitrations.​

I have been using Richard for my custody case. I have had multiple attorneys over the last 4 years and Richard has easily been the best. I always feel like I will get a straight answer with him. He’s not concerned about billable hours as he is with doing the right thing by his client. I know when I go into court I feel confident that I am being well represented. I feel very fortunate that my prior attorney was able to help me work with Richard.

Richard contacted me shortly after I posted my traffic case on Nolo. After hearing the details of my case, he explained that I may not need to hire a lawyer although he could simply get my money. He was patient and explained what are my options over the phone. I went to court and managed to lower the ticket. Although I didn't end up hiring him and went to the court myself (this was what he recommended), his professional behavior and patience in hearing my case and explaining the options were very helpful. Thanks Richard!

My wife and I called Richard to ask some legal advice on contracts, After my wife told him about our situation, he then went on a 10 minute tirade about making sure to send emails confirming conversations on the phone, during that time we tried to asking a question but he ignored us and kept talking, once he did stop talking, I was able to asked him a simple question about contracts trying to get him back on subject, in which he responded "I guess you are a better lawyer then me", My wide and I tried to tell him that I was just trying to ask asking a question on the law, but instead of listing to us he just sarcastically said "good luck with that" and then hung up on us. It was the rudest conversation with any lawyer I have ever had. I guess he doesn't like answering questions.

Very knowledgeable. Worried about his client and not his pockets. Recommend 100%
