New Jersey and New York Attorney | Over 15 Years of Experience

Jersey City • Hoboken • North Bergen • Hudson County • New York City

A lawyer is not a luxury — especially in hard times. Unfortunately, in today's economy, many people are putting off hiring an attorney for important issues such as divorce, debt renegotiation and expungement — or trying to handle them alone. Hard times are when you can least afford to do so.

Employment Law • Divorce • Criminal Defense • Debt Negotiation

We take a proactive and hands-on approach to handling legal issues such as:

• We represent both employers and employees in employment law, including discrimination and sexual harassment, which are serious matters for both employers and employees. We handle race, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, reverse discrimination and other claims.

• We work to resolve family law cases, such as divorce and child custody disputes, without costly litigation. A mutual resolution can save time, money and harm to the family. If a fair resolution cannot be negotiated, however, we are aggressive advocates in court. We will protect your rights in marital property division and provide guidance in debt resolution, mortgage modifications, and marital debt negotiation. We also handle modifications of support or custody orders.

• It is crucial to quickly establish a guardianship to protect the health and finances of a loved one who can no longer care for him- or herself.

• Our firm provides criminal defense for clients facing a felony and misdemeanor charges, and we assist with expungement of criminal records.

• We assist at every phase of a real estate transaction, including home closings.
