Discreet, decisive representation for corporations, high-net-worth families, and individuals who cannot afford to lose. Two decades of courtroom judgment brought to every matter — from the first phone call to the final signature.
A general practice means your business dispute, your lease, and your family’s estate plan are all handled by the same attorney — who already knows the history.
Formation, governance, contracts, and transactions built to survive scrutiny.
Counsel to closely held companies, funds, and founders across formation, financing, and exit — with the drafting discipline of an attorney who has litigated the agreements others wrote.
Aggressive, well-prepared advocacy in state and federal court.
From emergency injunctions to multi-week trials, matters are prepared for verdict from day one — which is precisely why most of them settle on favorable terms.
Closings, leases, and title matters across the five boroughs.
Residential and commercial transactions handled end to end — contract through closing table — with landlord/tenant and co-op board experience specific to New York City.
Wills, trusts, and succession planning that protect families quietly.
Plans structured to move wealth privately and without conflict, including Surrogate’s Court administration and contested estate representation when families disagree.
Immediate, confidential defense at every stage of a case.
Representation from arrest and arraignment through trial in New York State and federal court, with particular attention to professional licenses and reputational exposure.
Describe the situation in your own words. You will get a straight answer about whether you need a lawyer at all — at no cost.
For twenty-three years, clients have come to this practice at the moment a problem stops being routine. What they receive is not a case number in an assembly line — it is direct, senior attention from a lawyer who has stood before New York judges for two decades.
The practice was built deliberately as a general one. A family business rarely has a single legal problem: it has a contract dispute, a lease, a succession question, and an executive with a subpoena — often in the same year. Keeping those matters under one roof means nothing is explained twice and nothing falls between attorneys.
Every engagement begins the same way: a candid assessment of what the matter is genuinely worth, what it will realistically cost, and whether litigation is the right instrument at all. Clients are told the unwelcome answer early, when it is still cheap to hear.
We had been told the case would take four years and cost more than it was worth. It was resolved in eleven months, on our terms, and I was never once left wondering what was happening.
Seven-figure recovery before trial
