Federal and State Criminal Defense

The deck can often seem stacked against those who have been arrested and charged with a crime. No matter the nature or severity of criminal charges, having the right defense attorney on your side is essential, and you will want to work with a strong litigator who has experience helping clients achieve success in criminal cases. We can provide you with the defense you need against state and federal charges, including DUI, drug possession, drug conspiracies and trafficking, money laundering, white collar crimes, and juvenile charges. We can also assist with major crimes such as murder, grand larceny, or fraud that can result in lengthy prison sentences, as well as sex crimes that may require a person to register for life as a sex offender.
Federal and State Civil Litigation

A civil lawsuit typically involves one person or party pursuing financial compensation from someone else. These cases may involve the claim that one party is responsible for the personal injuries a person suffered, a breach of contract that caused financial harm to a business, or situations in which a party owes money that has not been paid on time or in full. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants in civil litigation, on a state and federal level, and we will do everything we can to resolve your matter successfully. While we will work to help you negotiate a settlement out of court, we are fully prepared to argue on your behalf in courtroom litigation.
Religious Corporation Litigation

The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the religious freedom of people in the United States. This means that no laws can prohibit or restrict the free exercise of religion. However, religious organizations need to operate within our community, so there are certain laws and rules they must follow. In the state of New York, the Religious Corporations Law provides a framework for how churches, temples, mosques, or other religious bodies are organized, as well as how disputes involving these organizations may be settled. By working with an attorney who understands the laws involving non-profit organizations, a church, its board, and its members can address and resolve these disputes properly.
Case Results

Divorce and Family Law

Legal situations involving spouses or other family members can often be complicated and emotional, and to achieve success in these cases, you need to work with a qualified, dedicated, and compassionate family law attorney. We will fight to protect your financial interests when getting divorced, including addressing the division of property and determining whether spousal support should be awarded. We can also help divorcing or unmarried parents resolve disputes over child custody, address relocation requests by one parent, and ensure that child support is calculated correctly. Following the end of your divorce, we can help you enforce a divorce or child custody order or pursue modifications based on changes in a family's circumstances.
