Law is a third career for me. I had been a teacher, the owner of CAMCO Button, Inc. in NYC and now a matrimonial attorney for the last 15 years. In addition to the traditional litigation associated with matrimonial law, I also am a Mediator and have been trained in Collaborative Law.

However, when justified, I will thoroughly and aggressively...

I was admitted to practice law in 1994, and since then the bulk of my practice has been focused on matrimonial and divorce law, appeals and closely related areas such as foreclosure defense.

My approach in representing clients is straightforward. Good people sometimes find themselves in bad situations, and people come to lawyers for solutions.
