NEW YORK DIVORCE, LITIGATION & APPEALS ATTORNEY

When your case is complex, high-conflict, or escalating, the right legal strategy matters from the start.

With a Ph.D. in Psychology, I bring additional insight to high-conflict divorce and other emotionally charged legal matters.

When Should You Contact an Attorney?

You should consider speaking with an attorney if:

● Custody, support, or financial issues are being disputed
● You have been served with legal papers
● You are involved in a civil dispute, contract issue, or other litigation matter
● Your case is becoming more complex or adversarial

In these situations, early legal strategy can make a significant difference.

What to Expect

  1. You reach out through the contact form.

  2. We discuss your situation and goals.

  3. I outline your legal options and potential strategy.

    You will leave with a clearer understanding of your position and a strategy tailored to your case.
