Our Practice Areas

Our practice areas include commercial and civil litigation in the state and federal courts and governmental administrative agencies; general corporate, real estate and commercial transactions; domestic relations; estate planning and administration; and healthcare and health insurance matters.

 

 

 

Litigation
We represent clients in a broad range of commercial and civil litigation practice areas in the federal and state courts, including commercial banking litigation; mortgage foreclosures and other real estate matters; general contract disputes; commercial and residential landlord/tenant, shareholder and partnership disputes; disputes with governmental agencies; administrative law, estate and Surrogate Court litigation; lender liability matters; construction matters; and marital/family law. We provide the benefits of  a full service litigation law firm without the high overhead or bureaucratic overkill of a large firm. A primary source of our business has been referrals from other law firms who recognize our firm’s expertise in litigation matters.

As outside or special corporate counsel, we represent a diverse client base including real estate developers, retail businesses, food service businesses, contractors and construction related businesses, and a variety of general and limited partnerships and joint ventures. We work closely with  clients and their accountants from formation and guide our clients through  financial and tax issues including security agreements, mergers and acquisitions, business trusts, purchase and sale of assets and dissolution.

We are experienced in many phases of real estate development including financing, acquisitions, leasing, sale-leasebacks, cooperative and condominium conversions and other matters.
