Firm: Law Office of Christy M. DeMelfi, PC

1225 Franklin Ave. , Garden City , New York 11530

Practice Areas: Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

My firm is relatively young, having been formed in 2007. Currently, I am a solo practitioner, so all clients deal directly with me. It is my philosophy, though, that every client should have a relationship with his or her attorney. As such, even after my support staff grows, I will remain active and accessible to all clients.By being a solo practitioner, I am able to develop and maintain close client relationships and ensure each person is given the respect and dignity he or she deserves. As a young, energetic attorney, I am breaking the standard mold of “impersonal and cold” service and I will ensure all clients are treated as individuals with unique problems.I am the most down to earth attorney you will ever meet. I believe in treating all people with respect, courtesy and empathy. My ability to sympathize with my clients, yet fight hard for their rights is my greatest strength. A close second is my love of a good argument and my inability to be intimidated.My firm focuses on areas of law that interact with the business world and financial matters. I focus my practice on bankruptcy, corporate and commercial law and other transactional matters. These focuses allow me to utilize my entire educational background, both in law and business. My business knowledge and understanding of finance and “numbers” has proven invaluable to me while assisting people through debt negotiation and bankruptcy.

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

Cindy N. Brown practices in the areas of criminal defense, civil litigation, family law, and landlord/tenant, defending the interests of the everyday man. While she feels strongly about the work that she does for all her clients, she is especially passionate about fathers, and their ability to maintain meaningful relationships with their children after divorce or failed relationships. All too often, the end of romantic relationships result in diminished contact with children through no fault of the fathers, and once the matter has made its way into the Family Court system, many fathers feel as though the odds are stacked against them and their parental rights are given much less weight than the mothers of their children. As such, Ms. Brown focuses a lot of her practice in the area of family law to combat these issues, in order to protect the rights of fathers who genuinely want to be a part of their children’s lives.. Born on the beautiful island of Jamaica, Ms. Brown is a New York transplant, having resided here for over 20 years. A University of Albany alum, she graduated from the Charleston School of Law in 2012.

Ms. Brown recalls her experience of studying Public International Law at Oxford’s Magdalen College as one of her most memorable during her law school studies.. Ms. Brown first started a career in public service by interning with the New York State Assembly while an undergrad at the University at Albany. Thereafter, she went on to work as Special Assistant to former Assemblyman (now Senator), Jeffrey Klein. Further solidifying her commitment public service, Ms. Brown worked for Pro Bono Legal Service in Charleston, South Carolina where she provided assistance to low-income clients with legal matters involving landlord-tenant issues, custody and visitation, and uncontested divorces. Immediately prior to joining our firm, Ms. Brown worked as Judicial Intern to the Hon. Sallie Manzanet-Daniels in the Appellate Division, First Department, wherein she was tasked with reviewing cases on appeal, checking citations to ensure the accuracy of arguments, and conducting research for use in the judge’s decisions..

To that end, she participates in the Big Brother Big Sister program; where she volunteers here time to mentor children who are often from low-income inner city homes, and in need of positive influences in their lives. Ms. Brown’s belief that children are the future of tomorrow, fuels her commitment to ensuring that they are provided with the necessary tools to ensure that they become productive members of the society..
