A Firm Built on Integrity, Experience & Results

Aiello & DiFalco LLP is a premier matrimonial and family law firm located in Garden City, New York. Founded by Mary Ann Aiello, the firm has grown to include Partner Michael DiFalco and Associate Leah Zweig — a close-knit team with a unified commitment to protecting what matters most to you and your family.

We represent individuals navigating contested and uncontested divorces, child custody disputes, support modifications, orders of protection, and complex matters involving high-value assets. Our approach is strategic — we assess every option from negotiation and mediation to full trial advocacy, always with your specific goals in mind.

What Sets Us Apart

In one of the most personal areas of law, the right attorney makes all the difference. Here is why clients trust us with what matters most.

Referred by Attorneys & Judges

When legal peers refer their own clients and family members to us, it speaks volumes. Mary Ann Aiello is regularly recommended by judges and fellow attorneys throughout Nassau and Suffolk County.

Personal Attention on Every Case

We are a focused boutique firm — not a high-volume mill. Every client works directly with an attorney who knows their case inside and out. You are never passed off to a paralegal.

Trial-Ready in Every Case

We never assume a case will settle. By preparing every matter as if it will go to trial, we negotiate from a position of strength and leave opposing counsel no room to take advantage.

Always Accessible

Michael DiFalco is reachable by phone, email, and text. We return calls promptly and provide honest answers. When you need to reach your attorney, we are here — no runaround.
