Dimitra Tzortzatos brings more than twenty years of legal experience to disputes involving businesses, property, finances, and families. Her practice combines direct advocacy with careful preparation and a practical understanding of what is at stake for each client.
Professional Background
Built on litigation experience.
Dimitra began her career in the Commercial Litigation Department at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP, where she practiced for approximately seven years. In 2013, she established her own New York law practice, representing individuals, business owners, companies, and families over the following thirteen years.
Leading her own practice meant taking responsibility for both the strategy and the details of each matter, while maintaining direct relationships with her clients. She now brings that experience to her role as a partner at Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP.
Commercial Litigation
Understanding the business behind the dispute.
Dimitra’s commercial litigation experience includes contract disputes, business dissolutions, ownership disputes, real estate litigation, and intellectual property matters. She has represented clients across industries including real estate, construction, manufacturing, electronics, fashion, and apparel design.
She approaches a business dispute with attention to the legal issues, the underlying financial interests, and the client’s broader objectives.
Matrimonial & Family Law
Protecting personal and financial interests.
Dimitra represents clients in contested divorce proceedings, custody disputes, support matters, equitable distribution, and post-judgment enforcement and modification proceedings.
Her commercial litigation background is particularly valuable when a divorce involves closely held businesses, ownership interests, real estate holdings, or disputed valuations. She understands how business records, ownership arrangements, and financial discovery can affect the identification and distribution of marital assets.
She brings the same preparation and focus to custody and support disputes, where the practical consequences for a client and family require careful attention.
Approach
Direct advice. Focused advocacy.
Dimitra believes clients should understand their options, the challenges they face, and the reasoning behind the strategy pursued on their behalf. Her approach emphasizes direct communication, thorough preparation, and advice grounded in the facts of the case.
She prepares to litigate while assessing opportunities for a negotiated resolution. The objective is to protect the client’s interests through a strategy that reflects both the legal merits and the practical consequences of the dispute.
Credentials
Education & Admissions
Dimitra earned her Juris Doctor, cum laude, from New York Law School in 2005. She was admitted to practice in New York in 2006 and is also admitted to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
