I was admitted to practice law in 1994, and since then the bulk of my practice has been focused on matrimonial and divorce law, appeals and closely related areas such as foreclosure defense.

To do that, they hire defense attorneys and paid-opinion witnesses to escape accountability. Rest assured, though, that if the...
