Coffinas & Lusthaus, P.C.

The Coffinas & Lusthaus Firm truly was a pleasure to work with. During my hard time dealing with my divorce, GABRIELLE handled my case with professionalism. She treated me and my case like we were family. Gabrielle gave me not only great legal advice, but she kept her HUMAN side with me when I desperately needed it the most. Gabrielle and Maria truly take in their clients and fight for them with their best interest at heart. Gabrielle and Maria are not only amazing lawyers they are wonderful human beings.

I paid $500 for a consultation with Maria Coffinas on June 27, 2025. I asked which records I should keep to support my childcare obligations claim, and she told me Zelle payments to the caretaker were enough. I just received my court judgment saying that Zelle payment records were not legally sufficient and as a result of her advice I cannot be reimbursed by child’s father for the $20,000k in childcare expenses I paid out of pocket while the case was ongoing. I am a lawyer myself and am shocked at the level of incompetence Ms. Coffinas displayed. She won’t even refund the consultation fee and claims she didn’t "represent" me. I will be reporting her to the bar.

Meredith and her law firm were an invaluable resource in helping me navigate a very difficult child support case. She was able to hone in on the most important issues and prioritize the most impactful topics so optimize the best outcome for our situation. She was knowledgeable, professional, and always had my best interests at heart, all the while maintaining a steady hand and providing compassion. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal assistance with child support.

I’m incredibly grateful for Maria Coffinas and Gabrielle Lazzaro for the strength, care, and expertise they brought to my case. From the very beginning, they treated my situation with genuine compassion and unwavering dedication. Gabrielle, went above and beyond. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and strategic mindset helped me gain sole legal and physical custody of my son. She was always prepared, responsive, and thoughtful in how she approached every challenge. Even during the most emotional moments, Maria and Gabrielle made me feel supported, protected, and heard. She fought for my child’s safety as if it were her own—and I’ll forever be thankful for that. If you’re looking for a team that will fight with strength, intelligence, and heart—Maria and Gabrielle are exactly that. True professionals, and even better human beings.

Meredith is a fantastic lawyer. I am so happy that I had found her to represent me. I am very happy with the outcome of my divorce and I don't think it would have been possible without her. She was always kind, responsive, honest, and professional. My ex is very manipulative and lies a lot. Meredith had the expertise and experience to deal with him and his lawyers. I highly recommend Meredith and her firm. Even the judge liked her and respected her.

Meredith saved my family. Again and again, in the face of incredibly harmful and toxic maneuvers over three years and through two states, Meredith brought measured advice, legal acumen and compassionate support. No matter the challenge, she managed to keep the interests of my daughter at the forefront. No matter the contest, she won every single time. I trust Meredith with our lives because she truly kept us together and I will always, always be grateful. Don't hesitate to call her when you need an expert in Family Law. She delivers.

I cannot express the gratitude and appreciation that I have for Meredith Lusthaus who was my attorney for over 6 years.  Meredeth is not only a kind and empathetic person, but also one of the most effective and competent individuals I have come across professionally.  Volumes can be spoken about her professionalism and proficiency. I came to Meredeth to have assistance with a case that involved child support. The case persisted for over 6 years due to the deception and manipulations from the opposing side. Meredeth was beyond effective in the Courtroom and from the first Court date she had convinced the judge that the father was responsible for payment of child support.  The opposing side utilized multiple strategies in order to avoid payment which caused endless court dates over the span of the 6 years. Not once has Meredeth advised me that I should settle or should drop the case. At times, she was my motivation to continue fighting for my child. Meredeth went above and beyond and therefore I cannot thank her enough for the work which she has done.  Meredeth and her legal team always acted within the frames of the law and fought for my child. I would recommend Meredeth and her team to anyone who is looking for an attorney that does not give up nor give in.
