I have a  passion for assisting clients with their estate planning needs - their future and their families.   I graduated from New York University School of Law - receiving an LL.M in Taxation.  NYU is recognized by all as being the premier Law School for this program, world wide.  My first case out of NYU with a very large law firm was handling the estate for one of the Firm's young female attorneys - her "estate planning" consisted of a 1 page holographic Will - while her very young children did receive their inheritance that was administered by the Trustee nominated who wonderfully cared for their financial needs, the large firm life insurance policy did not name the Trustee as the beneficiary, therefore the proceeds were wasted by the young mother/attorney's sister who was upset at the ex-husband, and wasted the entire large sum pursuing past-due alimony/child support that was not likely recoverable and ultimately was not, against the wishes of the Trustee and likely the young attorney.  My objective over the following 25 years is to not let this type of non-intended consequence recur, by making Estate Planning both reasonable and accessible for my Clients - avoiding th subject being "put-off".. Outside of law my passions are Architecture, Design, Travel U.S. and world-wide with Family, Tennis, Boy-Scouts with my son, and assisting my children as much as I can educating them and assisting them for their future in our great country.

My journey to becoming a lawyer and advocate for families was anything but straightforward. It began with a deep desire to help others, leading me to a career in social work where I spent nearly a decade immersed in the complexities of the human experience. I witnessed firsthand the struggles individuals and families faced, and I knew I wanted to do more to empower them.. That calling led me to law school and then to a career as a legal aid attorney. I represented countless people in emotionally charged divorce, family, and order of protection cases. The weight of those experiences, particularly the prevalence of domestic violence, stayed with me.. Then, life took an unexpected turn. I went through my own divorce, a process that shook me to my core. Despite my legal training, I found myself trapped in a contentious battle that left my family wounded and my co-parent and me unable to effectively work together. The adversarial system, designed to protect, had instead caused immense harm.. That's when I made a promise to myself – to help others avoid the same trauma and outcome. I sought extensive training in mediation and collaborative divorce, determined to offer a different path. These approaches, focused on cooperation and mutual respect, resonated deeply with my values.. Today, I find immense fulfillment in guiding families through separation and divorce with compassion and understanding. Whether it's through mediation, collaborative law, or when necessary, litigation, my priority is to empower my clients to make informed decisions that protect their well-being and their future.. My commitment to helping others extends beyond family law. My experience with disability issues fuels my passion for creating comprehensive estate plans, particularly for families with special needs. This work is deeply personal to me. Having witnessed the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and their families, I understand the importance of careful planning to ensure their security and well-being. I'm dedicated to crafting estate plans that provide for their unique needs and protect their future.
