Established in 1979 in the General Practice of Law with concentration in Family Law, Bankruptcy, Personal Injury, Social Security, and Traffic Law. Family law includes divorce, separation agreements, custody, visitation, support, adoption, name change, equitable distribution and divorce from bed an board.

If there are adequate grounds and you have not been separated for one year, you may file for a court-ordered separation which is called a divorce from bed and board. Equitable Distribution is the separation and distribution of all marital assets.

Bankruptcy - This office handles Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings.
