Employment Law
All New York employees deserve to work fulfilling jobs in safe environments. Unfortunately, this is far from the reality for many who live and work in New York City. Far too many employees deal with workplace hostility every day. From blatant discrimination to threats of retaliation, local workplaces present challenges far beyond what employees should expect in their chosen profession.
Family Law
Arguably the most sensitive practice area, family law involves complex cases and stressed out clients with heightened emotions. It takes a skilled lawyer to find a solution that best benefits his or her clients while also ensuring the best possible future for children and other family members.
