The father of my client's child had not paid child support for some time and was still not paying child support. Eventually, the judge granted my motion that, due to his willful default on child support obligations, he would be incarcerated. Shortly afterwards, he paid the money that was owed and was released from jail. Recently, both he and the mother came to my office for a separate matter. Since the first case, the father had made amends with my client and their child. He pays regular child support and now, he even has a close relation to the child. Clearly, my client and the father's experiences in and out of the court room made him a better father. I am proud to have made a difference in my client's life, her child's life and the child's father's life.

Word of mouth is a major factor in how I built a successful practice. Over the years, I have found that each client refers an average of three more clients. I feel that these recommendations are clear-cut evidence of my hard work, patience, respect, and responsiveness.

It is important that a lawyer is compassionate and knowledgeable. Lawyers must always act in a client's best interest. That means a lawyer also needs be realistic and be able to communicate reality to a client. Clients should seek out experienced lawyers who have a successful track record in court.

Having worked in the Bronx for many years, I am familiar with judges in Bronx Family Court and Bronx Supreme Court. I am also aware of the neighborhoods needs. Over the years, I have learned about the many situations that my clients face and I am able to take this knowledge and apply it to new cases. What information can you provide in a free consultation? At a consultation, I provide a practical analysis of your case, recommended strategies indicating work to be done and the cost. I advise the clients whether or not their case will necessitate a court appearance.

With over 32 years of experience practicing law, I am able to provide my clients with solid and knowledgeable representation. In court, it is easy to tell which lawyers are experienced and which are not. Often, an experience gap makes a difference in the outcome of a case. Additionally, familiarity with the court system, the laws, and the process of law is an asset I am proud to offer my clients. My office staff and I are bilingual in both English and Spanish. Understanding and speaking Spanish has allowed me to genuinely serve those who speak Spanish.

Some clients, both mothers and fathers, feel that they have long odds in reuniting their family, that they will loose custody of their beloved child or that they will not be paid the appropriate amount of child support. I work hard to prepare for a court date and most times, I get the results that my clients need and deserve. It is rewarding to know that I have helped my client keep custody of his or her child.
