Tenacious in the courtroom and acutely sensitive of his clients, Gary Tabat has been one of the leading matrimonial attorneys in Nassau and Suffolk counties for more than two decades. The Suffolk County native emerged from law school tackling a variety of cases, from criminal to real estate matters, under the tutelage of such mentors as Ben Vuturo and Kenneth Rohl, later a Supreme Court Judge. "Later on they sent me cases - more and more of which became divorce cases," says Tabat. His remarkable trial work enabled Tabat to become one of the most successful independent attorneys on Long Island - before he was 30 he had his own thriving practice.
