You can put the needs of your children first; you can reduce or even eliminate their exposure to conflict. You don’t have to spend all of your savings on a divorce. And you can keep your family’s matters private and out of the public court records.. In a small percentage of divorce cases, litigation is necessary. If, after an initial consultation, we believe that litigation is warranted in your situation, we will let you know. But, more often than not, we will recommend mediation or collaborative.

My desire to attend law school crystalized in college; however, it only became feasible for me to attend years later, at the age of 30.  Never waivering from my long-held goal of becoming an attorney, after graduating from college I was fortunate enough to work for a boutique law firm as a file clerk and relief receptionist on Madision Avenue.  This job experience was an invaluable introduction to handling client needs and concerns, and also law firm functioning.  The next step in my then "legal" career was to become a real estate paralegal.  That employment, during a very exciting time in the commercial lending and residential real estate market, provided a different aspect of my legal education in the real world - transactional work.  I handled mass closings for numerous luxury Manhattan apartment buidlings which had converted to condominium or cooperative ownership and also assisted counsel in the underlying transaction and commercial lender work, among other real estate matters.. Having been so fortunate as to attend Fordham University School of Law, and based on my prior employment experience, by the time I graduated I knew I wanted to practice in a "people-oriented" area of law, meaning not transactional, corporate or the like.  I also knew that I preferred to work at a smaller law firm where, based on my personal knowlege and what I had gleaned during the on-campus interview process, I believed I would gain far more experience and responsibility at such a firm.  That is how I came to practice matrimonial and family law exclusively since my admission to the Bar almost 30 years ago.. When people ask what i do for a living, once I tell them, it is not uncommon for them to respond, more or less "Oh, that must be so depressing", or "Oh, that's tough".  In my view, we matirmonial and family attorneys are helping people address, in a time of incredible stress and uncertainty, what is most important in their lives: their children, their home, their life savings, perhaps a business interest or a professional practice, and their financial future.  Divorce is a process - and not just a legal process.  Hopefully, at the end of that process, the seeds of a new beginning have been planted, and within them hold the promise of a happy future.. The vast majority of cases, whether pre-judgment (meanining not yet divorced) or post-judgment (addressing issues that arise after parties are divorced), can be resolved without resort to litigation.  For those which cannot be so resolved, litigation is the tool, though it is financially and emotionally very costly.. It it my hope that in providing this glimpse into my background, you have a broader sense of me as an attorney and as a person than just reviewing my professional qualifications can provide.

Mine has been a life of service which has included doing my duty as both a United States Marine and a New York City Police Officer. I have already raised three very fine young adults, Matthew, Jacklyn and Brian and have two beautiful  new infants, Conor and Cecille at home! I had previously spent several wonderful years teaching and coaching at Salesian High School in New Rochelle, NY and several more traveling the country as a performing songwriter. I have served as an adjunct professor at several colleges,  where I have taught paralegal studies, civil law and criminal law. In my life I have been blessed to dedicate myself to the service of my country and my my community. These days, I am dedicated to the service of my clients, most of whom have been very seriously injured or have had criminal charges against them. While I can never repair an injured body  or soul, I can, and I have,  secured for my clients the highest measure of justice the law will allow. I take our mission and our responsibility very seriously. I carefully select our cases and our clients so as to maximize the individual care I personally give to each case. I am a trial attorney and will approach your case with the mindset of properly preparing it for a jury to hear. Over the years, I have become convinced that this is the ONLY way to get the insurance industry to take cases seriously. I will not ever settle a case for anything less than both what I, and my client, after careful consideration, think is fair and equitable. Period!
