Melville, just like any other area within Suffolk County, New York, is brimming with a range of unique opportunities and people that make it a wonderful place to live for some. However, it's important to note that people within this location are just as prone to the common problems that other people face across New York, and indeed the world. Melville residents may find themselves dealing with significant family issues such as divorce, custody disagreements, or even adoption, wherein they need more than the support their friends and loved ones can provide. In these circumstances, though issues of family law will remain to be complicated by the very nature, Melville residents can achieve some peace of mind knowing a local attorney is available nearby. Mr. Darren M. Shapiro Esq. started his career within the world of law, in January 1999 following his admittance to the New York state bar.

While Mr. Shapiro has experience dealing with various aspects of law, he opened his own firm within New York, a convenient distance from the Suffolk County courts, with a focus on family law. As a Suffolk County resident himself, Darren welcomes Suffolk County court appearances and the ability to help his neighbors. His friendly nature and experienced professionalism mean that Mr. Shapiro can provide his clients with effective and reliable representation - regardless of the specific nuances of their case. Family law is a significant issue across the world, and it's worth noting how it might apply within Melville. For instance, Wikipedia notes that the 2010 census revealed a total of 4,830 households within Melville, of which 72.2% consisted of married couples who were living together at the time, while 38.1% included children under the age of 18. Only 6.6% of households at this time consisted of a female householder without a husband, and 15.7% of households overall were held by an individual. Since that census, further research into statistics provided by city-data.com has revealed that 60.3% of Melville residents are married, while 5.8% are divorced, and 1.6% are separated.

Looking into the numbers associated with family law cases can be useful when it comes to convincing yourself that you are not alone during a time of extreme emotional turmoil and stress.
