35 Kings Highway East , Haddonfield , New Jersey 08033

Practice Areas: Adoption, Child Support, Divorce, Mediation

As a divorced father and having practiced divorce and family law for almost 35 years, I have an understandiing of the emotional dynamics of divorce and all family law disputes, as well as the interplay between the emotional, legal, and financial issues. My ability to communicate with clients, listen to them, really hear them, empathize with them, and provide personal service has earned me the respect and admiration of my colleagues, the judiciary, and the gratitude of former clients.. The main focus of my practice is now Divorce and Family Law Mediation and Arbitration. Serving as a mediator for people who are involved in a divorce or other family law dispute is incredibly rewarding and fulfililng work. Mediation provides clients a neutral setting with an experienced and trained mediator through which they can resolve their issues, thereby avoiding litigation through the court system.. I have mediated close to 2000 divorce and family disputes both privately and as a court appointed mediator. The New Jersey Association of Professional Mediators has designated me as an Accredited Professional Mediator (APM). The Academy of Professional Family Mediators has designated me as a Certified Advanced Practitioner. I am often chosen by colleagues to mediate complex family law disputes involving custody and parenting time, support issues, distribution of assets, and others.. I am also a trained Collaborative Divorce attorney. Collaborative Divorce is a unique process for couples who would prefer not to engage in litigation through the court system but may not necesarily be amenable to mediation. For more information about the collaborative divorce process, please visit my website or the IACP website .. In addition to mediaiton and Collaborative Divorce, I am also appointed by colleagues and judges to serve as binding arbitrator, Blue Ribbon Early Settlement Panelist, parenting coordinator, and Guardian Ad Litem. I have arbitrated several divorce and other family law disputes.. For all of my clients, my goal is to help clients reach reasonable and fair agreements to avoid the heartache, stress, and financial burden of litigation through the court. I take time to educate my clients on the law, explain the range of possible resolutions of their issues, the likely best and worst case scenarios if the matter were tried to conclusion by a judge, and work toward an amicable resolution of all of the issues. I work with clients to act in a rational, responsible, and reasonable manner, and focus on what they think is fair and reasonable as opposed to what the law may say or what a judge may ultimately decide after a trial.. I love to travel, spend time at the beach, do crossword puzzles, read, listen to music, and spend time with my family and friends. I also love to watch sports and attend sporting events. I am an avid fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and Sixers, and UGA Bulldogs Football.
