Our Practice Areas
We help parents protect their rights and prioritize the well-being of their children. Whether you’re establishing custody for the first time or modifying an existing agreement, we work to create clear, enforceable arrangements that support a stable future—physically, emotionally, and financially.
Ending a marriage is never easy, but having a skilled advocate can make all the difference. We guide clients through the legal process of separation or divorce with compassion and strategy—resolving issues like property division, spousal support, and parenting plans to help you move forward with confidence.
If you’re facing domestic violence, harassment, or threats, we help you take swift legal action to protect yourself and your loved ones. We assist clients in filing family offense petitions and obtaining orders of protection to ensure safety and accountability under New York law.
