Biography
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. To me, each case is personal, each client is a person, never just a file number.

Legal Answers
- Q. will title insurance protect my home from my son and his lawyer?they have plans to take and sell the home
- A: Title insurance is irrelevant. You need to retain an experienced mortgage foreclosure defense and civil litigation attorney. Expect to pay for one hour of attorney time to review all the documents and provide you with the best way to proceed. 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. With modern technology, you can be represented by any high-quality attorney in New Jersey irrespective of geography.
- Q. Need help with defamation against a small startup business. We are being wrongfully accused of copying their ideas
- A: Sometimes a strongly worded letter from an experienced civil litigation attorney is enough to solve the problem. Whether or not you can file a lawsuit for emotional distress is questionable. If the letter does not help, then a lawsuit for copyright infringement will get their attention. You should expect to pay for about 1/2 an hour of attorney time, to have everything reviewed. 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. With modern technology, you can be represented by any high-quality attorney in New Jersey irrespective of geography.
- Q. I’m married with a 4 year old child. My wife wants to separate. move to Florida and take my daughter. She wants me to
- A: This could be done straightforward basis except for the part about it not being permanent. After about 1 year, the child's home state becomes FL. and your chances of achieving your objective diminish substantially. You should probably rethink this entire situation. There is no easy answer and as a father with two daughters (much older) who went through a very similar situation, I would think twice. I am not going to discuss my personal situation, suffice it to say I regret allowing it to happen. Good luck.
