For nearly three decades, Jill Stone has provided zealous advocacy on matrimonial and family law issues. She started out practicing alongside her brother and her father—a top criminal defense lawyer in Queens—at the firm Addabbo & Greenberg, and she soon found her niche representing children in challenging matrimonial cases.

“Early on in my career I decided to serve as a court-appointed attorney for children in Nassau County, and that experience really helped me understand how divorce proceedings affect children,” Stone says. “I continue to draw on those insights to this day, because they allow me to guide clients to resolutions that best suit their children.”

While Stone remains affiliated with Addabbo & Greenberg (which also handles criminal, personal injury, corporate, wills and estates, and real estate law), she has since established her own firm—an all-female family law practice that represents men and women equally. “I pride myself on hiring associates who are compassionate and can empathize from their personal experience,” Stone notes. “Everyone here works collaboratively, and that ensures an attorney will always be available to answer clients’ questions.”

As an authority in her field, Stone has been interviewed by television and print outlets and asked to lecture at Hofstra University School of Law and St. John’s University School of Law. In 2014, she was included in Super Lawyers (associate Melissa Studin Young was named to the “Rising Stars” list), and previously she received the Court Officers Benevolent Association’s Juridis Peridis Award, which acknowledges outstanding lawyers in the profession.

Beyond her practice, Stone mentors high school and law school students throughout the year and serves on the Advisory Board of We Care, Nassau County Bar Association’s charitable arm. Indeed, she is affiliated with many bar associations, including as a newly appointed board member to the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts’ New York Chapter. Stone is also a longtime member of the Character and Fitness Committee of the Appellate Division, Second Department and of the Advisory Committee for Judicial Hearing Officers.
