Top Best Business Lawyers | 10266 Available

Our business model is simple. When we are hired by a new client, we become their source for everything legal, becoming “My Attorney”, providing all forms of legal advice.. That is how we have grown and maintained our business over the years. When you say to yourself “My Attorney”, with confidence, we have met our goal. Of course, we cannot do everything in all places at all times.. Our real secret is knowing when we don’t know something. If we don’t know the answer, we know the specialist who does. If we need to hire counsel in other jurisdictions, we know how to find them and if litigation needs to be done elsewhere, we merge all talents to accomplish the goal. As a result we have had the honor to represent people from Ireland to Australia, and many places in between: all from our base in the Historic Piccadilly Building in Maplewood.. This ongoing relationship allows us to practice the often preached idea that there really is the time in the life of a problem where the problem is big enough to see but still small enough to solve. The sooner a client is comfortable calling “My Attorney” the smaller the problem is, the less to cost to fix and the happier the client is!

In 1970, he ran successfully for the New York State Senate, and in 1972 was elected to the New York State Assembly. Congressman LaFalce served Western New York in the U.S. Congress for 28 years, from 1975 through 2002. His congressional career spans six United States Presidents, from President Gerald Ford to President George W. Bush, and for many of those years Congressman LaFalce was Chairman of the House Small Business Committee, with jurisdiction over all Small Business laws, and Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, with jurisdiction over all financial issues, including banks, housing and community development, international financial institutions such as The World Bank and The International Monetary Fund, etc..

I love NFL football (NY Giants fan for life) and golf but....alas no better than a 100 round kind of guy...prefer the 19th hole over the other 18 holes just suffered. This is a painful admission because I was born in Glasgow, Scotland....the home of golf. I should be good at this game, right? In any event - would you want your lawyer to be thinking about your legal matters or playing golf all the time?
