Continuing Education
I both teach and attend continuing legal education seminars on Family Law. As such, I always exceed the required amount of continuing education hours. Additionally, I authored and teach the "New Jersey Basic Skills Family Law Book" to all New Jersey Attorneys.
Example Cases
I handle divorce, domestic violence, custody, support, and palimony cases. I have a diverse practice. One case involved a multi-million dollar company in China and New Jersey. The valuation and amount at stake required experts in both countries. Another case involved modest assets and W-2 workers embroiled in a divorce, domestic violence hearing and custody dispute. The outcomes of both were extremely satisfactory to my clients. If my advice is reality and everyone's expectations and results are within appropriate limits, I've done my job.
