In 2023, after more than 40 years of trying cases primarily in Westchester County, Mr. Leiebrman became one of the three founding partners of Rottenstreich Lieberman Farley LLP.  Before forming RLF, Mr. Lieberman served as managing partner of the Westchester Office for his former firm, Cohen Clair and was a founding partner of Lieberman LeBovit, PLLC. Among many other professional accomplishments, Mr. Lieberman has acted as lead trial counsel in several of the largest and most complex matrimonial actions to be litigated in Westchester County and the State of New York. Mr. Lieberman also frequently acts as trial counsel to other firms in complex financial and custody litigation.

In addition to his sterling record at trial, Mr. Lieberman has a broad and successful appellate record, featuring numerous decisions routinely relied upon by Courts throughout the State. These landmark decisions include: Feighan v. Feighan, 180 A.D.3d 873 (2d Dep’t 2020) (enjoined deposition of the parties’ former estate planning attorney); Hongach v. Hongach, 44 A.D.3d 664 (2d Dep’t 2007) (petition for custody modification insufficient to warrant a hearing); Haspel v. Haspel, 78 A.D.3d 887 (2d Dep’t 2010) (modified calculation of enhanced earnings and is one of several cases that ultimately led to changes in the law); Johnson v.
