I have focused my career on matrimonial and family law matters since 2002. During that time, i have worked, first as an associate and then partner in a small firm in Morristown, and, since August 2012 as Counsel to the Family Law Department at Budd Larner. I am a firm believer that no two divorce cases are identical, and what works for one matter may not work for another. Each client, like each case, deserves individual assessment and attention, which is how I have fashioned my professional career.
In helping to expand proficiency in the practice, I not only volunteer for the Court as an Early Settlement Panel panelist, but have also lectured and written on various topics, including being the co-author of one of the chapters in the New Jersey Family Law Practice series (14th and 15th editions). I have also been selected as a "Rising Star" by the New Jersey Monthly magazine annually since 2009, and have made several appearances on radio to discuss issues pertaining to divorce and family law matters.
I am licensed to practice in both New York and New Jersey.
