I practice family and divorce law in New York and am a trained mediator and divorce lawyer NY residents can rely on. I was a New York State Judge for more than twenty years during which I presided over criminal, civil, and matrimonial cases. My experience as a matrimonial justice in New York State Supreme Court is invaluable to my practice of law and mediation. I conducted numerous high conflict divorce trials and settled many others through my skills as a mediator. I am knowledgeable about every type of issue related to a divorce including grounds for divorce, the equitable distribution of property, spousal maintenance (alimony), child support, parental decision making, parenting plans for access to children, post divorce relocation and the drafting and validity of separation and pre and postnuptial agreements. I have presided over high-profile contested divorce cases and published numerous scholarly family and matrimonial law opinions.
