Jonathan Dana, a compassionate and straightforward divorce attorney with more than 35 years of experience, helps clients navigate these difficult times to make educated, informed and optimal decisions for their circumstances.. “I present clients with options, letting them know that my role is to guide, rather than tell them what to do,” says Jonathan. “It’s important that they make the best choices for their lives after being equipped with the information we provide.”.

Though divorce can be one of life's most distressing events, by building relationships, cultivating trust and creating solutions, Sarah Zimmerman helps clients achieve the best outcome possible while attempting to minimize the financial and emotional damage of divorce.  Sarah excels in guiding clients through complex financial and custody issues, and serves a wide range of individuals including high-asset clients and working or stay-at-home spouses who are financially dependent.. Clients appreciate Sarah’s empathic, calming presence, which offers them much-needed support at one of the most difficult times in their lives.  To that end, Sarah forms close working relationships with her clients and is committed to the hard work of problem-solving with both sides, believing that a cooperative approach typically brings her clients’ matters to a quicker and better resolution. While Collaborative law, an out-of-court, lower-conflict alternative to the traditional combative divorce process, is Sarah’s passion and forte, if Collaborative Law or mediation are not suitable for a client, Sarah is tenacious in pursuing her client’s goals, including litigating when necessary.  Regardless of the divorce process chosen, Sarah ensures that her client’s needs are addressed.. Sarah believes that a divorce settlement is very much a “package”.  Utilizing her keen analytical skills, Sarah is adept at helping clients project their needs for the future and make decisions about which critical pieces they and their families will need for the long-term.  Moreover, as the mother of three children herself, if a case involves children, Sarah understands the importance of ensuring that the children’s best interests are protected and minimizing conflict. Sarah encourages her clients to ask “what if” questions during the process to help ensure that their settlement agreement (or court order) provides for important contingencies.  Sarah strives to reach a fair and long-lasting outcome that will help her clients avoid conflicts in the future, and most importantly, move forward and begin new lives.. Named by Washingtonian Magazine as one of the "Top Domestic Relations Lawyers" in the area, and recognized by both Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers, Sarah received her Juris Doctor with Honors in 1996 from the George Washington University, where she was Executive Notes Editor of the George Washington University Journal of International Law and Economics, a member of the Moot Court Board, a participant in the Domestic Violence Clinic and an intern in the Sex Offense Section of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. Thereafter, Sarah clerked for the Honorable James P. Salmon in the Maryland Court of Special Appeals. Prior to launching Tucker PLLC as a founding partner in 2024, Sarah formerly practiced at the Family Law Group of Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP, and at Crowell & Moring for five years in the fields of employment law and general litigation.

The conflict of divorce can narrow an individual’s perspective. Katherine is adept at helping clients see the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel” so they can move forward with their lives. At the end of the process, she wants clients to feel settled and empowered, that together they accomplished the best that was possible.

My name is Richard Beckerman, Esq. and I was born in Queens N.Y.  Shortly thereafter, I moved to Nassau County where I was raised by a family of professionals that taught me the value of hard work and a sense of compassion to those under my care.   I am an alumnus from the University of Delaware and received my Juris Doctorate from Hofstra University School of Law in 2008.. Upon my admission in 2008, I worked at a boutique high asset matrimonial law firm where I learned the ropes on how to effectively represent many wonderful people during some of the most difficult times in their lives.  As my experience grew I brought my skills to a prominent divorce firm in Queens where I led the firm as the senior litigation associate.    During this time, I had the privilege to hone my skills at both trial advocacy and the art of negotiation, developing a powerful and respected reputation among matrimonial judges and other attorneys. I handled every major trial at the firm for 5 years as well as personally represented only clients with the most difficult of cases. Such cases ranged from hotly contested custody battles to businesses and real estate valued in the millions. Many of my clients came to me after their prior attorneys were not experienced enough to handle their case effectively.  I take pride in the fact that my ability to negotiate results in most of my cases being resolved to my client’s satisfaction without the need to pay for costly trials.  In the event the trial is necessary, however, I have the knowledge of the law and the experience at trial to make you feel safe knowing your interests will be protected.. In 2017 I was nominated and selected as a rising star SuperLawyer, which means I was ranked in the top 2.5% of family law attorneys in the state of New York under the age of 40.
