I am well known as an experienced, trusted, and zealous attorney and mediator. In fact, I have been overly zealous at times. In 2009 I was temporarily suspended from practice, then reinstated, for "excessive zeal"in representation. I was representing the birth family of a 12-year old girl who had been removed from her mother and other family members by the Court and custody given to a foreign national with a shady past. We endeavored to stop the custodian from removing the child from the United States to a county with no treaty with the United States as to child kidnapping. The Court resented any interference with the matter and took out a complaint against me. I have learned to be more careful with judges. I am a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School, and a former Buddhist monk. I founded the Klarer Law Firm and the Long Island Center for Divorce Mediation to seek the best resolution and a bright future for my clients. In litigation I zealously advocate for my client's interest. In mediation I am a dedicated neutral, zealously seeking a resolution that works for both parties in the divorce.

Suspended 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.
