I have been exclusively practicing NY Matrimonial and Family Law since I graduated Pace University School of Law, cum laude, in 2005.

I was in Court almost daily and practiced in all five boroughs of New York City, Long Island and Westchester. I became Senior Associate of the Firm and remained there until late 2010 when I left to start a family.I started my own firm so I could focus my attention on my clients and their needs. My role as your attorney is not only to represent you and advocate for you, but to help ease your stress during this time. I will personally guide you through this process step by step, and will take as much time as necessary to answer any questions you have and make you feel comfortable with the steps that are being taken. I will use my experience, knowledge and creativity to obtain the best outcome for you that I can, but it is also my responsibility to be honest with you if a certain result is unrealistic.In most cases, it is better for all parties involved if a resolution can be negotiated rather than it being left in the hands of a Judge that does not know you, your spouse or your children. I am an experienced, skilled and creative negotiator and have resolved several cases that were deemed "unsettleable", allowing the parties to move on with their lives, and saving them thousands in attorney and expert fees. However, I am also an aggressive litigator and will bring your matter to trial if necessary and in your best interests.  I am a mother of four and understand firsthand how important family is, and the lengths one must go to in order to ensure it is protected.

You don’t have to hate each other just because you're getting a divorce. Litigation is a poor and rather old-fashioned way to resolve family disputes. Going to court is very expensive and harmful to the family relationship. A great deal of money is spent on attorneys, hard feelings are created, and you will lose control over your life. On the other hand, there are times when you have no choice but to stand up to your spouse. In those times, you need a seasoned litigator and negotiator in your corner.
