Top Best Divorce Lawyers | 8519 Available

I have practiced almost exclusively family law for more than a decade.  In doing so, I have successfully guided clients through all aspects of family law including negotiating prenuptial agreements, custody and support proceedings, divorce, and the resolution of post-divorce matters.  I recognize that family issues which lead clients to Family Court and/or Supreme Court are often life changing.  As such, my practice of law is zealous but always cognizant of the practical and emotional implications of settlement negotiations and litigation.  I am also equipped to handle related matters that often arise in the wake of family law proceedings including real estate, simple probate and administration proceedings, wills, powers of attorney, and health care proxies.  I regularly represent clients in both Supreme and Family Courts in Westchester and surrounding counties.

As a general rule, most people loathe lawyers not because they believe that lawyers are bad people per se, but because generally the only time a person deals with an attorney is when things are going wrong and they associate that feeling with their interaction with attorneys.  My goal as an attorney is to change that perspective with my clients.  I know that the needs of every client is the most important thing to them and I believe the best way to deal with each client is to treat everyone that walks through my door with the compassion, time, and respect they deserve.

In my experience, many divorcing spouses want to protect their families, to conserve their assets, and to try to prevent the divorce from destroying their positive feelings for one another. I am pleased to dedicate my career to processes that share these worthy goals.. I have seen firsthand how mediation and collaborative divorce can assist couples in moving forward with their futures without sacrificing the most important pieces of their past. After a career as a litigator, I now proudly practice collaborative law and mediation exclusively. I cannot overstate how satisfying it is for me to assist clients who aspire to manage their divorces in ways that genuinely reflect their values and goals. I have found that my clients value my litigation background both for the substantive experience I can offer and for the perspective I can provide about the differences between traditional litigation and the collaborative process.. I am a graduate of Brandeis University (B.A.), Brooklyn Law School (J.D.) and Columbia University (M.S.).
