OUR PRACTICE AREAS

NOW OFFERING VIRTUAL CONSULTING

MATRIMONIAL / FAMILY LAW MEDIATION

PARENTING COORDINATION

We mediate divorce and family law matters including spousal maintenance, child support, equitable distribution, child custody/visits (parenting schedules), pre and post nuptial agreements, separation/divorce agreements and all related family and financial issues. We help you negotiate the separation process with a focus on creating the right solutions for you, your family and your future.

Also, if you and your partner are struggling with parenting issues right before, during, or after a divorce, Parenting Coordination (“PC”) is a good option. PC is a non-adversarial dispute resolution process that is court ordered or agreed upon by divorced and separated parents who have an ongoing pattern of conflict and/or litigation about their children. The underlying principle of the Parenting Coordination intervention is a continuous focus on children's best interests by the Parenting Coordinator (PC) in working with parents and in decision-making.

ADDITIONAL MEDIATION AREAS

Although we have particular experience in the areas of divorce, matrimonial, family and employment law, we mediate in others areas. We mediate elder law and Surrogate’s Court disputes including contested probate and administration proceedings, accountings, guardianship, trustee and fiduciary disputes. We have significant experience in high conflict multi-party family disputes and helping families unravel complex situations amid legal, emotional and financial concerns.

We work with parties and counsel on employment disputes including gender, age, and racial discrimination, retaliation, wage/hour (FLSA, NYLL), severance and breach of contract issues. We offer confidential and efficient resolution services so that parties and businesses can get back to work.

We have mediated commercial and business disputes connected to family business dissolution, partnership break-ups (business divorce), trade secret theft, contract disputes, defamation, insurance, non-compete and other issues.

COLLABORATIVE LAW, REVIEWING ATTORNEY AND LEGAL SERVICES

We represent clients in the collaborative divorce process and we represent those who are engaged in mediation who need consultation and/or a reviewing attorney in the process to assess interim and final agreements including divorce, separation, pre and post nuptial agreements.

I NEED A MEDIATOR

Whether you are engaged in complex civil litigation, or you have a private workplace or family conflict that needs to be addressed, call us. We have experience in mediating a wide variety of civil litigation matters and disputes that didn’t go to court because everyone involved recognized the value of mediation. Sometimes, parties contact us and they aren’t sure what they need but they know that a conversation needs to be had.

Litigation does not need to be present for a conflict to take over your life. Mediation and conflict resolution processes are flexible and they can be modified to suit your particular workplace, family or business environment and help you to move forward when a conflict (or series of them) have created stagnation and inertia. Call us to inquire about helping to set up an ADR process for your situation and getting you to resolution.
