Leonard R. Boyer

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.

Q. How to dismiss, etc. false allegations of spousal abuse & harassment? TRO dismissed now civil restraints, took daughter

July 5, 2022

A: Your question does not clearly state whether this matter is a MD or NJ matter. I cannot speak to MD law, but if this is a NJ matter, you would need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney to file an enforcement motion for the civil restraints. In addition, especially if you are a public figure, then you should file for divorce before this matter gets any worse or lasts much longer.

Q. Can a new jersey public school rescind my job offer as a substitute per diem teacher due to a positive thc drug test?

June 27, 2022

A: Yes, just because certain drugs are taken by prescription or if they have been legalized does not mean that an employer has to hire you. I do not believe that they are required to indicate what drug or if that makes any difference whatsoever. Good luck and try some place else.

Q. Can a debtor collect on previous debt that was discharged?

June 27, 2022

A: Any attempt to collect on a debt discharged in bankruptcy can be dealt with by a letter from an experienced bankruptcy attorney warning the creditor to "Cease & Desist" or a contempt motion will be filed with the Bankruptcy Court. Good luck.
