ATTORNEY ADVERTISING : Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
As a Court Attorney for the Family Court and Appellate Division for almost a decade, I have developed the skills necessary to expertly prosecute your appeal. I will listen to you and your family or others concerned. I will hear and identify your concerns and misgivings. I will effectively channel what grieves you about the trial and decision into a palatable argument before our intermediate and high courts.
