Relationship: Worked together on matter
Although I am an attorney who practices matrimonial law in the State of New York, I turn to Gary when I have issues and questions related to the distribution of retirement benefits between divorcing spouses. Since these issues involve federal law, the fact that Gary and I practice in different states is not a problem. Gary has vast experience in dividing these assets which require an order separate from a divorce judgment called a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO or quadro). While many matrimonial attorneys turn to local companies to prepare these orders, it is wonderful having an actual attorney to turn to in order to explain what is involved in a particular case. Also, besides Gary's great knowledge and expertise, he is also very articulate and has an excellent manner which makes working with him an absolute pleasure every time. Thank you, Gary!
