My municipal and real property work include litigation and appeals.  I also deal in commercial litigation and lease and contract work in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors, and estate planning.. I pride myself in being attentive to my clients, as a true "counselor" at law, providing thoughtful advice, as well as well thought-out documents and representation to try to accomplish their long term goals.. I was graduated from Hofstra University in 1967 and received my juris doctorate degree from St. John’s University in 1971. I served in the U.S. Army as a chaplain's assitant from 1969 to 1971, and from 1971 through 1973, I served as a confidential law clerk to the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department in Rochester, New York.

I was a co-founder of AMJID (American Muslims and Jews in Dialogue) which, I believe, was the first of its kind in the United States, providing an active dialogue between Muslims and Jews in Nassau County for 13 years.  Since 1999 my wife and I have been avid patrons of the American Ballet Theatre and attend almost all of their performances in New York City.
