I have been an attorney for more than 30 years, focusing equally on business litigation, business transactions, business formation, real estate transactions, and real estate litigation. I have handled many cases through trials and appeals in both federal and state courts, and I have handled thousands of real estate matters. Also, for years I was on my town's zoning board of adjustment (chairman for a few years) and have experience i laand-use issues from both the developer's side and the board's side.
When I handle transactions, the goal is to avoid court. When I am in court, the goal is to try to resolve a matter favorably and quickly. I am comfortable handling real estate litigation when a transaction falls apart because of someone's breach.
I have also devoted myself to non-profit causes over the years, including civic groups, teaching, land conservation, and theater (on the administrative side, not as an actor). Most recently I have been serving as president of my college (M.I.T.) northern NJ alumni association.
Outside my business, I am a voracious reader, enjoy jogging (used to be more actual running), and am a nationally ranked chess master. I enjoy reading math books, which I know is an unusual hobby. I am the author of one published poem that I think is pretty good.

Board of Adjustment case
We needed representation to oppose a proposed commercial highway billboard. Phil listened carefully and did extensive research, was patient with the extended process and did a stellar job of representing us in the actual hearings. We are very pleased with his work.

Is it possible to love your lawyer?
Phil is the best. Professional, reasonable, responsive, realistic and clear. He does what he says and he knows what he's talking about. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Love this guy!

Successful Home Purchase
Phil was a very helpful legal resource for our home purchase in New Jersey. He is definitely very knowledgeable about real estate law and I felt that he both advocated and protected the interests of my wife and I during this process to the best of his abilities.

Reassuring and experienced
Phil and his paralegal Gayle made negotiating and closing on our house very easy, despite unusual circumstances.
