After working at a small litigation firm in North Jersey, I decided I had enough of family law.  I took a couple of months off and it was then I realized that my problem was not with family law, but with litigation.  After this revelation, I decided to start my own firm where the emphasis would be on serving clients compassionately.  Meaning, we would offer options on how parties separate and give them the information and tools they need to move forward.. I am a trained mediator and collaborative practitioner.  I believe that the most successful divorces are those where the parties have taken control of their lives and made decisions that are beneficial to themselves and their families.  Collaborative and mediated divorces are less expensive, less stressful and more satisfying then litigated divorces.. What not everyone knows about me is that I worked in several different industries before entering law.  I have a Bachelor's in Fine Arts.  I worked in the toy industry, with animals, in standardized testing and in computer compliance prior to becoming a lawyer.  My diverse experience has provided me with some insight and information that many of my colleagues do not have.

Goals:. - To fully understand my client's needs and provide personal and intelligent legal advice, keeping their goals and interests in mind.. - To help my divorcing clients re-establish their lives as quickly and painlessly as possible. - To help my clients make decisions that will keep their legal fees in check. Philosophy:

A gradute of Temple University's Beasley School of Law, Wesley practices in the state and federal courts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He practices primarily divorce law and is committed to helping his clients resolve their matters in a professional and cost-effective manner. He is also available as a divorce mediator for couples looking for a lower-cost and more amicable way to resolve their divorce matters.

I was admitted to the bar in 1976 and established my own solo practice in 1978, which I maintain to this day. Over the years, I have developed expertise in a variety of practice areas, but concentrate my services in the fields of family law/divorce, real estate, business and decedent estates. My background in real estate and business is especially helpful in my family and divorce work, which is my primary field of practice. Having served as a Municipal Court Judge for 13 years has also broadened my understanding of how our court system operates and affords me a unique perspective that serving on the Bench provides. There are many fine matrimonial practitioners and counsel fee rates amongst the top notch family lawyers are within a small range. What separates me is that my practice is boutique, in that when you retain me to assist you, you get me, not an associate or a paralegal, and I make myself available and responsive for emergencies 24/7 by email and/or cell phone.. The law is the same for everyone, but every divorce is different. At the outset, people need a plan. Coming up with that plan, that is applying divorce law to your own particular set of facts, is a work of art. We all have different histories, goals, approaches that work best for us. I try to see the individual and his or her needs as a whole and tailor my recommendations based on those goals and needs. I cannot change your facts, but I can work with your situation to maximize your possibilities. My approach is to take the high road, settle if possible, but also be prepared to wage the battle any way available under the law to achieve the best possible result.. How can one enjoy family law one might ask, when a good percentage of divorces are fraught with fears, strife and uncertainty. The answer is that going through that life stage with a client to the other side is a special privilege. Navigating those minefields, most often meeting the client at or near the emotional or financial bottom and helping to steer that person to a contented new life is enormously rewarding and often long outlives the difficulties we experience together in the litigation process. As a result, I have been fortunate to have developed so many special bonds with clients that have endured through generations, where I have received calls for assistance after 10, 20 and 30 years and from children and grandchildren.. If my philosophies resonate, I invite your call to schedule a no obligation, reasonably priced comprehensive divorce consultation. Those meetings generally take 90 minutes or more in the relaxed and informal atmosphere of my office and we will have a give and take as I familiarize myself with information to advise you of your options. As may be appropriate to you, we will discuss equitable distribution, alimony/spousal support, child support, child custody and causes of action. You will leave with an understanding of the law and the system, how those factors may impact you and with the beginnings of a plan for the rest of your life. I look forward to working with you to maximize your opportunities to make a better life for you and your children, however shape that journey takes.

Divorce and family law issues can be difficult to navigate without the use of skilled legal counsel. As the child of divorced parents, and having initiated my own divorce, I understand the importance of counseling my clients on methods they can use to move their divorce along in a manner which does not negatively impact their children or their dignity. I also understand the fear that often comes by engaging in this foreign process and know full well how to help you harness that fear by turning it into power while you navigate through this process.. I founded this law practice to bring integrity to the practice of divorce law in a time when mistrust of divorce lawyers and the matrimonial (divorce) law system is at an all-time high. The training I received as a law clerk and law secretary (Judge’s Personal Attorney) to two divorce/family law judges has given me a unique understanding of the way judges make decisions in family law matters. I pride myself in providing teaching-based representation so that you understand the law and the way it will work in your case. It is that knowledge which we will use to turn your fear of the divorce process into your power as we work together to protect your legal interests and the best interests of your children.. If you aren’t yet married and you want to protect your assets in the event of a divorce, or if you have rekindled a marriage and want to limit the legal argument you would have in the event of an eventual divorce, I will help you craft an agreement which fairly and properly protects your assets and those of your children.. While most cases settle without going to trial, it is important to hire an attorney who can litigate your matter in the event a trial becomes necessary. Skilled litigators can advise you about whether your case has the potential to be litigated and about ways to avoid trial, if that is possible. Approximately 10% of cases go to trial. If your case is one of the 10%, we are here to help.. While I am an adept litigator, I also know that it is important to hire an attorney who can assess when your interests can be better served with non-litigation tactics, such as collaborative law and mediation. I am a trained collaborative divorce lawyer and can help you to navigate the waters of divorce without the cost and emotional expense of litigation.. Born in Manhattan and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I am a truth-speaker who “keeps it real” even when what I have to say isn’t necessarily what my client wants to hear. I relocated to Staten Island at the age of 16 and attended Wagner College, Grymes Hill, where I received my Bachelor’s degree in English and minored in Sociology. After taking a few years off to sell real estate and save money for law school, I attended the City University School of Law in Flushing, Queens, where I received my Juris Doctorate degree. I have been practicing law for over a decade and enjoy helping and developing long-lasting relationships with my clients. I reside with my husband, Michael E. Dow, Jr., a Staten Island native, and our two children.
