About Dayton P. Haigney, Esq.
Dayton P. Haigney publishes a price list, which no other firm in this market does: $1,750 plus court fees for an uncontested divorce, separation agreement included, and $300 per hour for a contested one. Twenty-seven years by the domain registration.
102 reviews at 5.0. It names no attorney other than the name on the door and publishes none of the trust pages pillar D looks for, not a privacy policy and not a disclaimer, which is what makes the published price stand out rather than fit a pattern.
What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
5 average over 102 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.

G1 LicensureNo attorneys publishedThis firm names no attorney on its public pages, so there is no roster whose licensure can be checked. The register is open and free to search; the names are what is missing.

G3 Entity & officeNo answer in the recordNo matching entity found in the active corporations register. New York does not require a general partnership to file with the Department of State, so this is not evidence against the firm, only a check we could not complete from this source
G5 WebsiteNot checkedSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, no attorney is named on the site we could read. The gate also asks for no misleading claims, which is an editorial read we have not recorded.

Does Dayton P. Haigney, Esq offer a free consultation?

Who are the attorneys at Dayton P. Haigney, Esq?
Dayton P. Haigney, Esq names no attorney on the public pages we could read. That is a gap in what the firm publishes rather than a statement about who works there, and it is why the licensure and discipline checks on this profile have nothing to run against.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about Dayton P. Haigney, Esq?
Dayton P. Haigney, Esq scores 48 and sits at Listed. Passed: footprint. Did not pass: entity registration and website. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure and discipline.
