I have been practicing law since 1977.  I have specialized in family law since 1984.  I am the former chair of the Family Law Committee of the Monmouth Bar Association.  In 1992, I was asked by the Bar Association to revise the rules governing the Early Settlement Panel in the Monmouth vicinage of the Superior Court of NJ.  The rules I revised are still being used today.  I have litigated thousands of divorces, including but not limited to contested custody cases, domestic violence cases, and post-judgment applications to enforce and/or modify property settlement agreements.

Each client brings a distinct set of issues, needs and problems.  I do not believe that a client's needs can be met by characterizing such issues with generalities.  Rather, each need must be analyzed and a specific solution crafted to meet that need.  It is the easiest excuse in the world to blame inattentive Judges, difficult adversaries or vexatious litigants for bad results.  I believe a client is better represented with honesty from an attorney from the start of the case to its conclusion.
