Staten Island's Arab American community, while smaller than those in Brooklyn or Queens, has established a meaningful presence on the island. Egyptian, Palestinian, and Lebanese families have settled throughout the borough, attracted by its suburban character and relatively affordable single-family homes.
The community is more dispersed than in other boroughs, reflecting Staten Island's car-oriented layout and residential neighborhoods. Arab families here often prioritize homeownership and suburban living, while maintaining connections to the larger Arab communities in Brooklyn and New Jersey.
North Shore neighborhoods like St. George and Stapleton have seen growing immigrant populations in recent years, including Arab families. The area's proximity to the Staten Island Ferry—which provides free transportation to Manhattan—makes it practical for those working in the city.
Staten Island's Arab residents include both longtime residents and recent arrivals. Many professional families have chosen the island for its schools and quiet neighborhoods, creating a community that balances American suburban life with Arab cultural traditions.

Testimonials
Read what Arab American families in Staten Island say about our Arabic-speaking family law attorneys.
“Married for twelve years and he refused to agree to the divorce. My attorney filed for contested divorce, handled his delays and stalling tactics, and got it finalized in ten months. She also made sure our Islamic marriage contract was considered in the property division.”

“He refused to give me an Islamic divorce after the civil divorce was final. My lawyer understood the cultural dimension and used it in mediation. We got both the civil settlement and the mahr owed to me. Having a lawyer who understood Islamic marriage contracts was crucial.”

Dina T.

“My wife's family demanded the mahr of $50,000 during our divorce proceedings. I argued the Islamic contract wasn't enforceable in New York. Her lawyer convinced the judge it was a valid prenuptial agreement. My own lawyer then negotiated the amount down to $30,000 as part of the overall settlement. Fair outcome.”
