We know that you may be calling us for help during a difficult time in life. It is our aim to be the gateway of transition away from difficult times into a much happier, healthier and more harmonious chapter in your life. Our clients have relied on us for help with:

• Employment Law — We will competently assess your employment law claims involving discrimination and sexual harassment. We have been successful in representing employers and employees.
• Divorce — Whatever grounds you are alleging for divorce, we work to resolve the matter without the need for litigation or damage to your family.
• Marital Debt Negotiation — When debt is the major stressor in the relationship, we work closely with couples who want to prevent divorce by helping them work with creditors to negotiate repayment of marital debt.
• Mortgage Modification and Debt Negotiation — We work with clients in financial crises resolve their debts and get back on track. We can open negotiations with any creditor, including banks and mortgage lenders, to find you a way out of debt.
• Child Custody — Doing what is best for your children is at the center of every child custody issue. We protect your rights as a parent while working toward a custody arrangement that works for you.
• Guardianships — If someone you care about is unable to care for themselves, we can establish a legal guardianship that will allow you to oversee their finances and health care.
• Criminal Defense — We provide aggressive criminal defense representation for clients facing felony or misdemeanor charges in either New Jersey or New York.
• Criminal Record Expungement — In today's economy, the last thing you need is an old criminal offense to keep you from getting a job. In many cases, we can petition the court to have convictions cleared off your criminal record so they won't appear on background checks.
