Compassionate
I searched at least 6 months for a Lawyer that I would be comfortable with. He exceeded my expectations. This lawyer was all about getting the job done while keeping his client relaxed. His assistant (who has a JD) also exceeded my expectations.

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2016.
Suspension issued in NY, 2016
updated on 12/07/2017Suspended means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
David’s comment:
“Suspension was solely due to a personal tax issue with New York State and had nothing to do with the practice of law. This firm has represented over one thousand clients and there has never been a complaint from a client and no discipline has ever been administered as result of the representation of a client.”
