William Howard Abronson

In 1969 I entered practice with Southeast Neighborhood Legal Services, which was a program that provided a full range of free legal representation to people who could not afford an attorney.  During that time, I handled every type of problem that a person could have - from evictions to defending against debt collectors, to defending uninsured motorists who were being sued by insurance companies.  The last one and a half years with this Organization I took over the Family Law area of the practice and handled 2500 divorces in Court. Most were uncontested. There were at least two contested matter per week during this time.  In 1972 I opened my own practice and specialized in Divorce and Plaintiffs Personal Injury.  I stopped taking contested divorces in 1987.  From 1984 through 1990, in addition to Personal Injury and Family Law, I took two major litigation cases involving multiple Plaintiffs and Defendants.  The first was defending a Property Management company that was an ancillary Defendant in a major Ponzie type scheme.  The second case was Defending an owner of a Cemetary and Crematorium in a Class Action lawsuit involving the inappropriate disposition of Ashes.  Both of these cases were settled.  The main focus of my practice at the present time is Plaintiff's personal Injury and general litigation, with the occassional uncontested divorce.
