Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile! I have over 30 years of experience as a Matrimonial/Family Law attorney who now limits his practice to Mediation. I have been certified as a Mediator for many years. Mediation allows individuals in conflict to play an active role in resolving their differences. As a neutral facilitator I strive to help people make decisions together, providing them with control of the process, flexibility in making fully informed, customized decisions, and the ability to deal with each other with personal integrity. As a participant in mediation, you create the agreement and you control the process. Legal costs and fees are less than those incurred in litigation, an agreement can be reached in a timely manner, and the entire process remains private. I will also act as a coach to a person going through mediation in front of a different mediator. If you would like to know more about this process, please contact me at the information below. Thank you!

A large part of my practice also relates to family-based immigration (e.g. a US citizen spouse claiming their foreign spouse).  Not only do we help prepare applications for processing in the United States and for consular processing abroad, but I spent a great deal of time with my clients preparing them for interviews and attending interviews with government immigration authorities when feasible.  In the context of family-based immigration, I help my clients work through difficult problems relating to waivers, illegal status in the United States, issues with status violations and evidence necessary to support their case.. I also work on a variety of other immigration related matters including naturalization, consultation on the impact ofcriminal behavior on immigration status and asylum and refugee law.  As noted in mybiography below I teach  "Asylum and Refugee Law.
