My practice is a holistic one. Rockaway is a small exurban town. As such, a certain neighborly attitude is required which includes pro bono work, volunteerism and maintaining ones reputation as a fair, just, and equitable advocate among clients and the community. There is also time to play and enjoy doing things that are of interest. I volunteer in a local soup kitchen, shoot skeet (but not hunt), and study Americana. I especially enjoy my six grandchildren who reside nearby. I am a graduate of Boston Latin ('60), Boston University ('64), Rutgers Law School ('67), and studied ASL (American Sign Language) and Deaf culture at Union County College.
For the convenience of my clients, I may be reached 24/7 by dialing (973) 479-3794.
I have been helping clients over come 'clause-phobia' (fear of signing contracts) for more than 54 years.

- Q. Hello. My father had no will when he passed. I am currently in the process of becoming the administrator of his estate.
- A: If the estate were probated in NJ, the renunciation properly completed can be filed pro se. If propated in NY, you need to pose the issue with a member of the NY Bar.
- Q. Upon signing the lease the landlord knew we were getting VA rental assistance, he agreed to let us move in. And wait.
- A: There is no self help in NJ by Landlords for residential property. So in order to evict you, he must comply strictly to the statutory requirements for eviction. If he does so, you will be able to present your side of the story to the Judge.
- Q. Tenant signed lease, failed to take possession or pay deposit or rent. Does an agreement exist? I want to cancel it.
- A: Since rent has not been paid, to be on the safe side, file an action in Court for possession based on non payment of rent. The Court will issue a Warrant for Removal. The tenant will not have a cause of action against you for wrongful eviction because of your self-help action.
