265 Sunrise Highway , Rockville Centre , New York 11570
Practice Areas: Internet , Contracts & Agreements
I am a partner with Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP, a full service business law firm. As Co-Chair of the Firm's Creditor's Rights and Bankruptcy Law Practice Group, I believe clients benefit from a holistic and integrated approach to legal problem solviing. As a result, my team often finds it useful to collaborate with lawyers from other departments, including taxation, corporate, labor and employment, real property, landlord and tenant, intellectual property, Web3, digital assets,cryptocurrency, cannabis, among others. In every case, clients are represented zealously and with compassion. Simply put, whatever the facts and circumstances may be, my team focuses on resolving complex business and bankruptcy challenges.. These could involve a wide range of issues, including owner, contractor and joint venture disputes, debtor and creditor entanglements, workouts, assignments, receivership, restructuring, and turnarounds. Other services include bankruptcy liquidation and reorganization (including small business chapter 11 cases under subchapter V), proofs of claim, debt priority, subordination, distressed asset purchases and sales, evaluating the adequacy of disclosure statements, plan confirmation, trustee claim defense (including preference and claw back), investment and bankruptcy fraud, and objections to debt discharge and dischargeability. I work effectively inside or outside a courtroom, although I am licensed to practice in the federal and state courts of New York and New Jersey, and the Supreme Court of the United States. And while many of the Firm's attorneys are superb litigators, they also understand when it may be better to employ other means of conflict resolution, like arbitration and mediation.. Through it all, the Firm's unwavering objective is to offer clarity, cool heads, and polished performances. The result is clients often achieve exceptional outcomes when prosecuting or defending high-risk, high-value litigation. In some cases, a single lawsuit can put a company's very survival in jeopardy. The matter could arise from a non-paying vendor or counterparty, licensing dispute, UCC Article 9 enforcement, commercial foreclosure, private or public asset sale, tax or labor law issue, lease assumption or rejection, note default, as well as a private company's action over control or valuation ("business divorce"), or similar crisis. The attorneys in the Firm's Creditor's Rights and Bankruptcy Law Practice Group are not only crisis managers but also sophisticated advocates and trusted advisors.. Falcon Rappaport & Berkman LLP leverages resources and connections to tailor the right solution for a lender, credit union, property manager, developer, investor, contractor, business owner, professional practice group, or individual in a court room or board room in New York, Long Island, New Jersey, or elsewhere.. I bring to the Firm my personal commitment to do the right things in the right order with the right people. On target and on time.. In the end, extraordinary client service begins with active listening. I trained as a journalist and learned the value of turning every page and asking the right questions. Before becoming a lawyer I created award-winning advertising, marketing and public relations campaigns. Those experiences enable me to develop and deliver creative legal solutions to my business and nonprofit clients. Persuasive legal writing effectively presents a client's story so winning is possible without breaking the bank.

Practice Areas: Contracts & Agreements
I have been a lawyer for nearly 20 years. In that time, I have practiced in areas as varied and diverse as representing clients in contract disputes, real estate disputes, labor and employment disputes, intellectual property disputes, and others. I have also counseled clients on the proper and most beneficial business formation, corporate compliance, raising equity and debt, drafting various contracts and documents for businesses to help them to standardize and streamline operations, as well as other agreements and contracts.. I was also fortunate to have worked in several areas before going to law school. I worked on a congressman’s staff in the mid-1990s. After that, I worked for MCI in its government markets division acting as the pricing analyst on two large contracts exceeding $1.5 billion that provided network connectivity for air traffic control for the United States Department of Commerce. I also worked as the pricing analyst and project manager on a large contract providing telecommunications services to 14 different state offices of the United States Department of Agriculture.. After leaving MCI Government Markets in metro Washington, DC, I came to the New York area in 1999. While living in Washington, I graduated with a BBA in finance in 1993 from The George Washington University. After moving to the New York area, I attended Seton Hall Law School and graduated in 2003.. This hybrid background informs how I practice law and has allowed me the ability to look at issues from a number of perspectives. In doing so, I strive to look at legal problems from a business and legal perspective. Legal services can be pricey, and I work hard to make sure that the value of the services I provide matches the price that our clients pay. It is with this in mind that I look at legal advice, especially in a non-litigation context, as a balancing act. My job is to explain the risks to doing this or not doing that and to assess the likelihood of those events. It is in this process that I work to make sure the client goes into any situation with their eyes open as much as possible.
