I look forward to using my 30+ years of practice in the Probate and
Family Court to assist you and your family through this painful, stressful
place called family court. Be it a divorce, a modification, contempts,
parenting schedules, removals, I am able to provide you with detailed,
professional and targeted plan to obtain the best possible outcome
given your situation.
Practice areas
I handle all areas of divorce from property division, alimony, child custody, parenting plans, child support, modifications and appeals.
37 years
Family based green cards, adjustment of status, K-1 visas, work authorization, defense of removal in Immigration Court.
37 years
Restraining orders and supervised visits for children are both necessary for victims of domestic violence. I can guide you through this emotional process.
Uncontested divorces can be complicated, I handle all aspects, including agreement preparation. Remember, just because you and your spouse agree, does not mean a judge will accept your terms.
