My MISSION is to be respected by my clients as a professional who does his best to be a competent, prepared, organized, conscientious, loyal, affordable, and caring legal advocate.
My GOAL is to create satisfied clients by providing sensitive counsel through the various parts of the legal system. I attempt to make what could be a scary experience a positive, unintimidating one as inexpensively as possible without jeopardizing a case. I take pride in my ability to represent a diverse clientele in various realms of problem prevention and conflict resolution (based upon being a trained Mediator and CLASP Creator), primarily for Family/Juvenile Law and Criminal Defense (as well as Entertainment, Civil Litigation, Estate Planning/Administration, and Unemployment Compensation Law). When possible, you and I will work as a team to try to settle issues without the stress of trial, expense of depositions, unpredictability of court, etc. If your matter involves an area of law with which I am not familiar, I can direct you to a colleague with the necessary legal expertise; my Officer/Chair Positions in various Bar Associations and other contacts have proven to be very helpful. In the event of your having limited resources, I can even act as a “legal coach,” advising on an as-needed/a la carte/unbundled services basis for a reduced fee/no retainer. I am proud to have long ago earned “Distinguished BV” Martindale-Hubbell and “Superb 10.0” www.AVVO.com ratings plus BBB Approval several years ago. I even make old-fashioned house calls if needed.

Very responsive
Attorney pollock represented me in a custody relocation trial. He was not familiar with my original divorce and custody case so it was a slight challenge but we won the case! He was always quick to respond and answer my plethora of questions.
Your recognition of the obstacles in your case is refreshing; many people take lawyers for granted. I welcomed the challenges for such a deserving client and was thrilled to have been able to contribute to a better future for your family.
