Did ChatGPT rank these lawyers?
Not in so many words. Position asked for the top 50 and ChatGPT returned 50 names in the order shown above. Ask it again and the order, and some of the names, will change. We ran the question once, on October 19, 2026, and did not edit the answer.
Does inclusion mean Position recommends them?
No. Position did not interview, verify or compare anyone on this list. We are a marketing research firm that studies what AI says, not a law firm. Being left off the list says nothing about a lawyer either.
How should you use this list?
As a starting point. Check each lawyer's registration on the New York State court system's attorney search, confirm the firm still handles divorce and matrimonial matters, and ask about cases like yours before you hire anyone.

What does ChatGPT say when someone asks for you?
A positioning audit runs the questions your customers actually ask across the engines and shows who gets named today, and what it would take to change the answer.
