Pieter Weinrieb founded Weinrieb Law in 2011 with a singular mission: to provide families facing their most difficult legal challenges with skilled, compassionate representation grounded in both legal expertise and genuine human understanding. Over two decades later, that mission remains unchanged. Unlike many attorneys who treat family law as one specialty among several, Pieter has dedicated his entire legal career exclusively to divorce and family law. That singular focus means he has handled virtually every scenario that arises in family court across Erie County and Western New York — contested and uncontested divorces, high-conflict custody battles, complex property divisions, military divorce, orders of protection, paternity disputes, and everything in between. As a 42-hour certified family and divorce mediator, Pieter also offers clients a path through divorce that does not require adversarial litigation. His dual expertise — as both a skilled courtroom advocate and a trained mediator — allows him to assess each client’s situation clearly and recommend the approach most likely to achieve their goals, whether that means aggressive litigation, collaborative negotiation, or mediated resolution. Pieter’s background in psychology and human behavior — reflected in his graduate education in the humanities — informs how he approaches client relationships and how he evaluates the interpersonal dynamics that drive family law disputes. He understands that divorce is not just a legal event but a human one, and that clients need an attorney who grasps both dimensions.
