I have been practiing family law for 28 years. I have extensive experience in resolving divorce and famiy law cases without the necessity of a trial. I also have extensive trial experience in divorce, domestic violence and estate litigation. I am currently a municipal court judge and have been for many years. I have had several published opinions including one at the New Jersey Supreme Court level. I provide aggressive representation for all clients and look out for their best interests at all times. I also make every effort to assist client's emotionally as such litigation is often very hard for an individual to go through.
