How did you build a successful practice?

By being results oriented and by creating a legal fee structure that fits the client's needs on a case-by-case basis, i.e., I will find a way to make it work for the client.

What should clients look for in a lawyer?

Honesty, integrity, ability, trustworthiness, experience, a never ending willingness to hustle, an entrepreneurial spirit and an understanding of your goals and objectives.

How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?

Critical; those in the labor and employment business deal with each other often. It is a small community of lawyers because it is a focused area of the law. If you do not know the players, you will have a hard time sizing up the other side and predicting the opposing parties first and last moves before you even start.

What information do you need in a free phone consultation?

The nature/scope of the matter the client's ultimate goals and objectives.

What differentiates you from other lawyers in your community?

An excellent track record of success; constant client communication whether it is day or night, weekday or weekend, via email, phone or even by text message; a broad range of legal and work experience; experience handling all different types of legal and business matters - my firm can be a one-stop shop, if the client wants it to be.

Are you involved in your community?

I have a long history of community involvement and service. At a young age, I started serving my community as a volunteer for the Colonie Youth Court, the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY and the Ronald McDonald House. As a college student, I started an online software and mobile applications company dedicated to helping charities effectively manage their fundraising efforts. For my work, I was named to the Albany Business Review's "Forty under 40" list in 2006 at the age of 21. From 2004 to 2006, I served on the Board of Trustees of Union College. Thereafter, I served the College as the National Young Alumni Chair from 2006 to 2010. I have and continue to contribute hundreds of hours (pro bono) to clients relating to issues, matters and cases involving domestic violence/domestic relations and unemployment insurance claims. Currently, I serve my community in the following capacities: as an Associate Member of the International Union of Police Associations, Inc.; as a member of the Lawyers' Coordinating Committee; as a volunteer Patrolman for the Schenectady County Auxiliary Police (Office of Emergency Management). I am also the Secretary for the unit.

SAMPLE LEGAL CASES

Physician Obtains Downward Modification to Alimony Obligation
In a post-judgment divorce action, a physician was successful in obtaining a downward modification to his alimony obligation due to a substantial decrease in his income.  The parties were divorced back in 2007, and pursuant to the judgment of dissolution, the husband was required to pay alimony to the wife in the amount of $6,000 per month for a period of eleven months, followed by $5,000 per month thereafter.  The amount of the alimony obligation was modifiable upon a substantial change in circumstances in accordance with Connecticut General Statutes § 46b-86.
In Post Judgment Divorce Action, Court Determines that $1.2 Million Payment to Husband was Income, Not Liquidation of an Asset
In a post-judgment decision rendered, the Superior Court of Fairfield at Bridgeport addressed whether a payment that a husband received from his employer after the parties’ divorce constituted an asset or, alternatively, income.  The parties in this action obtained an uncontested divorce in 2008.  As part of their separation agreement, the husband was obligated to pay the wife child support in the amount of $1,600.00 per month.
Child Care Costs and the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines
In a decision rendered previously, the Connecticut Appellate Court explained the definition of “child care costs” as set forth in the Connecticut Child Support Guidelines.  In that particular case, the parties were married for approximately five years and were the parents of two minor children.  During the year of 2003, they entered into a custody stipulation which was subsequently incorporated into a comprehensive separation agreement.  The separation agreement provided that the husband would pay the wife $2,500 per month in unallocated alimony and child support for a period of five years, followed by straight child support.
