Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
I got a divorce case settled for a wife who received primary physical custody of children, child support pursuant to the Child Support Standards Act, maintenance (alimony) pursuant to Maintenance Guidelines, exclusive possession of the marital home, her separate property and 50% of the marital assets including her one-half share of the husband's retirement assets pursuant to two Qualified Domestic Relations Orders.
How did you build a successful practice?
By helping clients decide what divorce process is best for him/her, not me. If mediation or collaborative divorce is best for the client, ant that's that the client wants, I recommend that even though I might make a lot more money litigating the divorce. In my opinion, this is the most ethical way to be a divorce lawyer. I regard this ethical approach to practicing family law as compared to what good doctors do: if medicine or physical therapy solves the problem, recommend that, not surgery. Surgery
What should clients look for in a lawyer?
See answer #2 above. Also, clients should look for how much experience a lawyer has. I have over 40 years of experience focusing on divorce and domestic relations matters.
How important is local knowledge to the success of your cases?
I believe local knowledge is important, so I only do cases in Westchester County and its adjacent counties in New York State.
What information can you provide in a free phone consultation?
What divorce process choice is best for the client: mediation, collaborative divorce, or litigation.
What information do you need in a free phone consultation?
If there are any issues that are urgent and require immediate action.
What are your other interests in addition to law?
Helping people resolve difficult problems economically in their divorce.
Are you involved in your community?
I am an Elder in the Presbyterian Church in which I am a member.
