I am the managing member of a litigation firm. As the managing member I have litigated cases in many different forums, including the federal courts. Being a former prosecutor has allowed me to use my skill set not only in Criminal Law but in the areas of Divorce and Family Law. I have litigated cases which have been published in the New York Law Journal in the areas of Family Law, and many of my cases have been reported on in the media. The clients at our firm range from corporations to individuals facing life in prison. This firm has litigated controversial custody cases and complex divorces. We have been successful achieving acquittals at trial, getting cases outright dismissed, achieving favorable settlements, and negotiating favorable agreements.
We have a team of thirty-nine dedicated lawyers, from partners, to senior-counsel, to associates and of counsel attorneys. We have tried high conflict financial trials and custody trials to successful resolution. We have litigated case in the Appellate Division and achieved reversals of lower court decisions. I am a member of the National College of DWI Defense, and part of our practice includes representation in vehicular crimes, particularly DWI cases and vehicular homicides. If you visit our website you will gain insight into our firm and me. The mission of our firm is to work endlessly for results. We recognize that we are a result based industry, and we do everything we can for our clients including answering calls at all hours. We strive to have our clients' questions answered immediately without delay.
This firm looks forward to the prospect of a trial, and we are proud of our reputation amongst the bar and bench for the trial ability of our dedicated lawyers. Nonethless, our firm takes a cost conscious approach with an eye on achieving the desired result, which often times can be achieved without a trial.
