Although my firm practices in several different fields of law, my expertise is primarily in Mortgage Foreclosure Defense,Divorce & Family Law, Bankruptcy, and Mortgage loan modification. In terms of divorce law, I have a unique prospective from both my personal and professional experience that few other attorneys can match.

Q. A private investigator positioned a camera on a telephone pole across the street from my home for 6 months taking photo

3 December 2021

A: Realistically whether or not the pictures and any private investigator can be used as admissible evidence of cohabitation in a divorce proceeding is very subjective. During this pandemic, you have a choice of either seeing your attorney in person or by way of a secure state of the art Zoom Video Conference. So you don’t have to be restricted by geography anymore in terms of choosing an attorney. You can “Meet” your attorney online for an initial strategy session from the comfort of your own home. Through mail, e-mail and electronic filing almost everything can be done without leaving your home, for most types of cases. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price.

Q. Chapter 7 in NJ what address do I use if I don't have a permanent address?

3 December 2021

A: A P.O. Box for mailing is fine, but you must list a phyiscal residence on your bankrupty petition. You really need to retain to an experienced bankruptcy attorney to represent you.

Q. I want to file a civil complaint in the District court of NJ pro se and In forma Pauperus .

3 December 2021

A: You are not a trained attorney. You do not know the Court Rules, Rules of Evidence, case law, nor are you trained how to handle a legal case, especially if litigation is involved. However, if you do not retain counsel, and the opposing party does have counsel, you could get slaughtered (figuratively speaking). You should retain an experienced personal injury attorney who will not charge you anything for representing you, if that attorney determines you have a viable case.
