For the past 21 years I've worked to offer creative and cost effective solutions to life's biggest problems, focusing on divorce, family law or when you've been sued.
Sometimes it's prudent to settle. Sometimes you have to fight. I'll offer you guidance, but the decision on what path to take - settlement or litigation - will always be your decision to make, because it's your case, not mine.
Whatever your situation, you can discuss it with me in complete confidence. Call today to arrange a consultation.
I keep flexible hours to make handling your matter easy, and accept major credit cards for your convenience.
We're here to serve those with concerns about legal issues, but we've taken prudent steps to reduce the possibility of exposure to the Corona Virus. All of our staff are not just vacinnated, they're boosted as well.
You can contact us via e-mail ([email protected]) or phone - and we can set up a secure video conference so that we can help with any issue that arises - including document signings. Note that while physical access to the New York Courts has been somewhat restricted. electronic filing remains available, and we're ready to deal with any situation that arises.
