About Miriam
Biography
My early experience as a lawyer was with mid-sized law offices in their Real Estate departments, and as in-house counsel with a regional commercial bank.
I opened my own practice in 1987. Most of my practice consists of real estate transactions - representing a party in a purchase, sale, or lease of property, and financing [mortgages]. The rest of my practice consists of helping people plan for their families' needs by creating Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Health Care documents.
I am licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
My focus in all matters is to empower my clients by educating them about their options, so that they may make informed decisions, and I may assist them in reaching their goals. Every client has my personal attention.
