With degrees in both law and behavioral forensic psychology, and nearly 30 years of practice, I have developed a unique approach to resolving family conflict and divorce matters that is interdisciplinary, holistic to the parenting dynamic, and highly effective.. The Covid-19 pandemic caused unprecedented stress, disruption and uncertainty for families. The fallout has continued even years later. There have been sweeping changes in family law during the past few years. Clients require assertive advocacy that is also common sense and cost effective. Options to avoid litigation should be explored from the beginning of every case. Expectations of clients must be in line with courtroom reality.  Virtual courts require law firms that are adept with fast moving technology.. In my practice as a negotiator and neutral mediator, the vast majority of cases are resolved out of court. The legal process works best when both lawyers communicate and encourage their clients to remain amicable and avoid unrealistic positions regarding custody and finances.. My experience encompassing nearly 30 years as a trial attorney, mediator and victims’ advocate includes familiarity with cases involving high net worth and complex assets, domestic violence, mental health issues, personality disorders, substance addiction, religious divorce  and special needs children.. A daughter of Middle Eastern immigrants, I have traveled the world and developed a passion for international family law.

The firm also runs support groups for the community, and pro bono representation for domestic violence victims. Our firm has always prioritized the mental health needs of its clients, believing that reducing the emotional level in a dispute leads to better outcomes and more effective coparenting. My  multidisciplinary background, including a graduate degree in Behavioral Forensic Psychology and Family Systems Therapy, is also unique among my peers.. I have a long history of public service, including pro bono work for The Safe Center of Long Island. I am Chair of the Matrimonial Committee for the Women’s Bar for the State of New York (WBASNY). I have raised awareness and funds for a range of social and legal causes on Long Island..
