He is a wonderful family law attorney and his extensive knowledge in tax law positions him perfectly to address issues such as alimony, equitable distribution of the marital assets, and retirement. In addition, his B.A. in Psychology earned at Muhlenberg College and considerable experience working with mental health professionals, provides him with great insight into delicate family issues and helps him effectively advocate for his clients in custody matters. I have worked with Ed in family law cases and it has been a pleasure to have him on the other side to help reach agreements with our respective clients."
"I endorse this lawyer."
