I have been practicing in the divorce/family law field for nearly 25 years, primarily in Nassau and Suffolk counties. It has always been my goal to involve my clients in the decisions affecting the course of their litigation, giving them the information and the "pros/cons" they need to make the decisions that are right for them.

Outside of work, I enjoy running and photography.
