Selected as Member of New Jersey Chapter, National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals (NADN). When I first started practicing law, I worked at a large firm and handled lots of court cases. After representing clients in family and business matters for many years, the thrill of winning wore off.
It dawned on me that litigation was very costly, not only in terms of time an money, but the most painful, stressful and least satisfying process imaginable.Cases were taking too long and costing too much and clients, despite great efforts, did not always get what they wanted from the Court. Eventually, I began to think that "there had to be a better way for people to resolve disputes."

We are in the midst of a litigation crisis. The high cost and long delays associated with the trial of civil matters often make litigation an impractical method of resolving disputes. It is not uncommon for the attorney's fees, expert witness fees, jury fees, court reporter fees and other related costs to exceed the amount in dispute.
In most mediated settlements, it is in each party's interest to seek independent legal counsel. The role of the attorney will be generally limited to providing legal advice, reviewing the agreements of the parties, and preparing any documents to be filed with a court. The training to become an attorney and a mediator are very different.
For over thirty years, I have been helping clients resolve family law matters in an effective, timely and affordable manner. Many times people decide to separate on a trial basis and they are not planning to get divorced. In those situations, I can help you work out the details of the separation with respect to the children (time-sharing and co-parenting) and the finances.
