Biography
Since 1984, I have had the honor of representing clients in civil and criminal appeals, and complex litigation. During that time, I have continually been learning from my colleagues, and also contributing to the advancement of the law by lecturing and authoring articles on appellate practice and other legal topics. A commitment to excellence is the driving force behind my approach to each and every case.

Free Consultation
An initial consultation generally lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. It is an opportunity you to provide an overview of the problem about which you are seeking legal assistance, or the ongoing court case concerning which you are seeking a second opinion. It will allow me to ascertain what the case is about, what your objectives are, what may need to be done to reach those objectives. It is not enough time in which to convey to an attorney all of the information that he would need to arrive at a final informed opinion. It is merely a starting point. - Credit Cards Accepted

Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
Appeals: My fee for an appeal is an agreed upon, fixed amount, based upon the estimated time that the appeal I expect the appeal to take me to complete. I also estimate the out of pocket expenses that may be required, and an amount sufficient to cover those expenses must be paid in advance. Complex Litigation: An hourly rate is charged for ongoing litigation, since it is not possible to know how long an active case will continue.

Legal Answers
18 Questions Answered
- Q. Could ineffective assistance of counsel overturn a 2002 DWI conviction in NY?
- A: The procedure by which to ask a trial court to vacate a conviction based upon Ineffectiveness of counsel is a motion under Criminal Procedure Law, Section 440.10 (h). There is no statutory time limit for such a motion. However, courts have stated in their decisions involving such motions that they must be brought within a reasonable time. It is a virtual certainty that if you were to file the motion 23 years after your conviction, it would be denied based upon the unreasonable delay alone. With the passage of time, documents and witnesses that would be necessary for you to prove your argument, or for the District Attorney to oppose your argument, may no longer be available.
- Q. How to reinstate a mistakenly withdrawn I-130 petition and appeal an I-485 denial due to suspected identity theft?
- A: This question should be directed to an immigration attorney.
- Q. Can withholding of removal be contested beyond an asylum officer's decision?
- A: This is a question for an immigration attorney.
