About Herbert
Biography
At work and at home, I see my job as making sense out of chaos. To do so, one has to understand what is doable and fashion a solution that not only works on paper but in practice. Often, I find fiscal and family issues are intertwined. I find that I can help as I understand many family issues as I have a wife and four kids including red heads plus a dog and a cat. Plus my parents live nearby and I have a brother who seems every year or two to get involved in new business venttures that always somehow have many unexpected complications.
I have helped resolves issues in my community. My house of worship has asked to me several times to resolve apparently unresolvable issues such mediating a heated dispute about the layout of cemetary plots between two grieving families who retained counsel as well as amicably resolve a dispute resulting fron a hotel accepting reservations for its hall on Yom Kippur from both a jewish gay group as well as a traditional Orthodox Jewish honesty, creativity and empathy mixed with a dash of dry humor, I have found i can help people and corporations to meet and resolve challenges in ones personal and business life.

Highly recommend!
A weight is off my shoulders thanks to Atty. Weinberg! I had spoken to one other lawyer before finding Atty. Weinberg in a Google search. I emailed the office and he contacted me right away.

Couldn't be happier
Came to Herb at a tough time in my life. The idea of filing bankruptcy is never an easy one to swallow. Wasn't sure what to expect, but went into it with dread. He met me at my work, the very same day I called him. He talked to me like a real person, not just his client. Went over every detail and...
