Press Release

Tarter Krinsky & Drogin continues to expand its Matrimonial and Family Law Practice on Long Island with the additions of Partner Brittany Mangan and Associate Kali Schlegel in its Garden City office. Mangan, an experienced litigator, has dedicated her career to helping individuals through the difficulty of divorce and family law issues.
In the two years since its launch, Tarter Krinsky & Drogin’s Matrimonial and Family Law Practice has strategically grown to include eight attorneys practicing in New York City, Long Island, and Westchester. Mangan’s extensive litigation experience before the bench in Nassau and Suffolk Counties further diversifies the team’s counsel to clients throughout the New York area.
“Over the past few years, we’ve focused on staying ahead of the industry and bridging the gap between New York City and Long Island for our clients. We’re thrilled to welcome Brittany and Kali, whose knowledge of the Long Island divorce courts will strengthen our capabilities and complement our expansive New York City presence,” said Co-chair Morghan Richardson and Partner Jennifer L. Schenker in a joint statement. “Working with clients in their most vulnerable and challenging moments, it’s essential we provide high quality service alongside a compassionate approach, and Brittany and Kali have an incredible track record of delivering.”
Mangan’s robust practice includes advising clients on a range of issues, from distributing complex marital estates to navigating the inherent difficulties of custody and co-parenting, child neglect proceedings, litigation strategy, and expectation management to avoid the pitfalls of divorce fatigue. Schlegel joins Mangan as an associate in the Garden City office, where she assists the team on complex divorce and family court matters.
The expansion of the firm’s Matrimonial and Family Law Practice aligns with the firm’s transformative growth over the past two years, in which headcount has grown by more than 30%. During this time, Tarter Krinsky & Drogin has expanded its capabilities in its International, Litigation, Labor and Employment, ERISA, Real Estate, Corporate, Construction, and Landlord and Tenant groups, opened its Garden City office, and further developed its Los Angeles office.
“Last year, we established an official presence on Long Island to meet the rising demands of our clients and middle-market companies in this region. Our Matrimonial and Family Law Practice has played an integral role in our success here,” said Managing Partner Alan M. Tarter. “Brittany and Kali’s addition not only solidifies our expertise in family law but also signals to our clients that we continue to grow where our clients need us.”
In her role, Mangan will leverage her litigation background to navigate clients through the various issues that arise in family law proceedings. She’ll now have access to the Firm’s 30+ capabilities to handle additional needs for clients.
“I take great pride in creating a trusting community for my clients, through excellent service and a compassionate approach, as they deal with some of the most challenging issues of their lives. It is my responsibility to my clients to ensure that, when my clients leave me, they are better than when they found me. I’m thrilled to continue building my practice at a firm with the reputation and dynamic platform that Tarter Krinsky & Drogin offers so that I can better lead my clients to the finish line,” Mangan said. “Oftentimes with family law cases, we encounter complexities that cross into other areas of law. With the firm’s multidisciplinary offerings, I’m excited to collaborate with partners in other practices and work together towards the common goal of delivering exceptional service to our clients.”
Tarter Krinsky & Drogin’s Matrimonial and Family Law Practice includes eight fully dedicated litigators who guide clients through all aspects of matrimonial law, from the planning and negotiation of pre- and post-nuptial agreements to various divorce actions and post-judgment enforcement proceedings, as well as family law issues, including alimony, child custody agreements, collaborative law matters, divorce proceedings, and property or business distribution.
