AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Bankruptcy
If you are experiencing financial problems, the Bankruptcy laws may provide you with a “fresh start.” I will examine your assets, liabilities, income and expenses and will determine whether it is advantageous for you to file for Bankruptcy. I will explain to you the options, advantages and possible ramifications of Bankruptcy. If you choose to file, I will create the necessary petition and will accompany you and guide you through the process. Schedule your free Bankruptcy consultation today.
Elder Law
The elderly population in this country continues to increase each year. By the year 2020, it is estimated that almost 16% of the population will be 65 years of age or older, and the number of people over age 85 will reach 7 million. In this climate, it is imperative that the elderly and their families seek counsel to explain the various options before them. Whether you seek to create the appropriate legal documents i.e. Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, complicated Estate Planning documents, whether you need assistance in a Guardianship action, or whether you seek to create and employ Medicaid Planning or an Asset Protection Plan to preserve the assets that you or your family has accumulated, schedule your free Elder Law consultation today.
Employment Law
If you believe that you have been wrongfully discharged from your employment as the result of Discrimination on the basis of your Race, Gender, Age, Religion, Disability, Pregnancy, Sexual Preference, Marital Status, or National Origin, you may be protected under State and/or Federal law. If you have been Sexually Harassed, exposed to a Hostile Work Environment, or you believe that you were wrongfully discharged for Whistle Blowing you may also be protected under the law. To discuss these or other discriminatory employment issues, schedule a free consultation to learn about your rights.
Estate Planning
Whether you have a large or small estate, I highly recommend Estate Planning for adults of all ages. You should create a Will tailored to your personal wishes for the distribution of your assets, appointment of guardians for your children and appointment of trusted executors to administer your estate. With larger estates, there are several tax avoidance mechanisms that can maximize what is ultimately passed to your loved ones. Both the State of New Jersey and the Federal government impose substantial taxes on estates and inheritances. Schedule your free Estate consultation today.
Family Law
I have experience in representing clients in all phases of Family Law. In a Divorce action, post-Divorce action or Domestic Violence action, several issues may come to the forefront. Custody of children, Visitation, Child Support, Alimony (Spousal Support), Asset and Debt Valuation and Distribution, among many other issues must be examined and sometimes litigated. In Family Law, it is my philosophy that you, the client, should be an integral part in the strategy and the decision-making process and I will be sensitive to your needs. Often times, you are served best with a non-confrontational approach to settlement, thereby preserving relationships, as well as legal expenses. However, in other instances, a strong and aggressive approach to litigation may be desired and/or necessary. I seek to serve you, the client, to achieve your desired goals. Schedule a free Family Law consultation today.
Municipal Court
If you are in need of assistance in a Criminal matter, Traffic Violation, DWI, Driving while Suspended, Drug-related offense, Domestic Violence offense, or other violation/offense in any Municipal Court setting in New Jersey, I can assist you. I will explain the law to you and offer my advice as well as the options from which you may choose. Schedule a free consultation on your Municipal Court matter today.
Personal Injury
If you have any injury as a result of an Automobile Accident, Slip and Fall, Defective Product, Work Place accident, Medical Malpractice, or any other cause, you should schedule a free consultation. In most instances, you will not pay legal fees until you have recovered compensation for your injury. Schedule your free Personal Injury consultation today.
Real Estate
Whether you are purchasing, selling, or leasing, I will work diligently to serve you, the client. I will protect your interests, your rights and walk you through the process of your Real Estate transaction. If you are involved in a Landlord-Tenant dispute, you may have certain remedies under the law. Schedule a free Real Estate consultation today.
