Our NYC matrimonial & family law practice helps clients get the results they want.

We use our legal experience to resolve matrimonial disputes effectively and efficiently.

Our practice focuses on divorce, child custody and support, post-judgment enforcement actions, property distribution and spousal support in addition to prenuptial, postnuptial and cohabitation agreements. We put all our years of experience and judicial process expertise at the disposal of our clients. We strategize with them, oftentimes devising ways to “win” in negotiations and use the power of the Court most effectively to move the process along or resolve specific issues.

Our goal is to create closure and enable clients to move forward in their lives with confidence.

Our approach is to educate and explain the options to our clients, so they understand what their choices will mean going forward. The key to a successful divorce is making well-informed practical decisions. Often the emotional aspects of divorce take over and parties lose sight of the benefits of an efficient end to their disputes. We believe couples should try to resolve as many issues as they can between themselves. Only when negotiations fail do we recommend aggressive litigation.

We work to create positive outcomes for our clients.

We view divorce as a positive step for couples who see going their separate ways as a better direction for their lives. By focusing on their needs and desires, we can better understand their goals. This helps us to obtain the results they want on the issues that are most important to them.
