- Business Transactions
- Real Estate TransactionsOver the years in private law practice, I have cultivated an interest and expertise in all matters of real estate development, real estate purchases, sales, and leases (from single family homes, condominiums, co-operatives, multi-family apartment houses, and mixed use buildings to improved and unimproved commercial properties), corporate and commercial business transactions, employment and consultancy contracts, employer-employee relations, joint business ventures of all types, and tangentially related commercial litigation covering a broad spectrum of size and complexity. I have also developed, through the inevitable march of life itself, an interest and expertise in all matters of Estate Planning, Trusts, Wills, and Surrogate Court Probate and Administration.

- Landlord-Tenant DisputesI have served as a member of the Nassau County Republican Committee as a committeeman for the Mineola, New York Executive Area, as President and Treasurer of the Mineola Republican Club and Committee, and as Campaign Chair and Committee Member for several election contests, both Judicial and Non-Judicial. I have taught paralegal courses in Real Estate and Business Law as an Adjunct Instructor at Briarcliffe College, have served as a Compulsory Arbitrator in the Nassau County and Suffolk County District Courts, serve as an Arbitrator for the Nassau County Bar Association Attorney-Client Fee Dispute Resolution Program, serve as a Mediator in Landlord Tenant Disputes in the Nassau County District Court, and am a member of the Corporate and Real Estate Committees of the Nassau County Bar Association. Additionally, I regularly volunteer my services to assist those who cannot afford legal counsel through the many Pro Bono Programs offered by the Bar Association. And, for the last twenty (20) years, I have been the appointed General Counsel to the Board of Trustees of the Mineola Memorial Library, Mineola, New York — having first served as an appointed Library Trustee and as the elected Library Board President.
- Estate Planning
- Wills
- Power of AttorneyBenjamin Franklin said it best, when ruminating about the two certainties of life. So here is one of them (with the other never far behind). And while something may be certain, its impact is not. It is the impact that we can control through careful thought and precise legal planning. That makes all the difference. But rather than wax philosophical we will leave it at this for now: We bring objectivity, practicality, and empathy to the process of drafting Wills, Trusts, Health Care Directives, Powers of Attorney, and other related documents that bring peace of mind to our clients and great satisfaction to us.
