Divorce & Family Law

Divorce

A Divorce legally dissolves a marriage and releases both parties from the responsibilities of their union. Ensure that you have a trusted attorney on your side to protect your legal rights, represent you in court, and negotiate your custody, visitation, division of property, etc.

Custody refers to the rights of parents over the care, control, and maintenance of their child.

The Custody Process can be legally complex, but our goal is to help you navigate the process and fight for your fair Custody rights.

Clearly defined Visitation Schedules ensure that children enjoy quality time with the Non-Custodial parent at parental agreed upon time and dates. Whether the goal is to gain Visitation or change Visitation Rights—we can assist you with that Court Process.

Uncontested Divorce

An Uncontested Divorce is usually one in which both parties agree on all issues of the Divorce (Child Support, Visitation, etc…).

Child Support

Child Support is court ordered payments typically made by non-custodial parents to the custodial parent or guardian, to contribute to their children’s needs. Child Support determinations can be complex, and our goal is to help you navigate the process.

Wills

Will

A Will allows you to take a proactive approach to protecting your family and assets, and your intended plans for all that you have worked hard to accomplish. Appoint an Executor to manage your estate and distribute your property exactly as you wish. Appoint guardianship of your children in the event of an untimely demise. Ease your family’s stress by clearly defining your wishes, and bypassing the lengthy probate process that will ensure if a Will is not established.

Please contact us today if you need a Will.

(800) 840-7858

Power of Attorney

A Power of Attorney allows you to select someone (your Agent) to manage your affairs on your behalf, or “act in your place” if permanently or temporarily incapacitated. If you do not specify your preferred Power of Attorney, your affairs could be left in the wrong hands, and your intentions for your assets and finances skewed. A Power of Attorney does not extend to health and medical care.

Please contact us today if you need a Power of Attorney.

(800) 840-7858

Health Care Proxy

A Health Care Proxy allows you to choose someone (your Agent) to make general or specific health care decisions on your behalf if you are temporarily or permanently unable to do so. If you appoint no Health Care Proxy, decisions are likely to fall on your next of kin. Appoint a Health Care Proxy, and ensure that your health care wishes are respected.

Please contact us today if you need a Health Care Proxy.

(800) 840-7858

Living Will

A Health Care Proxy appoints someone to specifically manage your medical care in the event you are unable to do so. While a Living Will does not appoint a specific proxy, it allows you to outline your healthcare wishes in the event that you are able to speak or act on your own behalf. Reach out to me today to ensure that your medical care is managed with the dignity and respect you deserve.

Please contact us today if you need a Living Will.

Landlord/Tenant

Non-Payment Proceeding

A Non-Payment Proceeding is a means of evicting a tenant for not paying their rent. Landlords cannot legally evict tenants who fail to pay rent without adhering to the Non-Payment Proceedings. If you are a landlord who requires assistance moving forward with an eviction, please contact my law office today.

Evictions/Illegal Lockout

An Eviction allows Landlords the right to terminate a lease before its end date, or to remove an unauthorized tenant. However, Landlords cannot lock out or evict tenants at their volition. Eviction is part of a lengthy legal process, whereby Landlords must file the proper paperwork. I work with landlords to navigate the complex eviction process, and with tenants to ensure that grounds for eviction are sound, checking the formal process has been followed.

Leases

Residential and Commercial Leases are rental agreements designed to protect the best interests of both Landlords and Tenants. Landlords and Tenants may establish and negotiate appropriate Lease Provisions, pertaining to multiple aspects of property use and tenancy. If you are a Landlord who wants to ensure that your Lease has the appropriate provisions, or a Tenant who requires assistance negotiating or comprehending their Commercial or Residential Lease, please call me today to discuss your needs.

Holdover Proceeding

Holdover Proceedings are a complex means of evicting a tenant for reasons other than Non-Payment of Rent. This could include lease violations, unauthorized tenants, unauthorized subletting, nuisance complaints, squatting, unauthorized pets, property damage, and illegal activity. If you are a Landlord who would like to evict a Tenant for reasons other than Non-Payment, please reach out today to discuss your Landlord rights.

HP Action

Landlords must provide their Tenants with timely repairs and services, as laid out in your Lease. If a Landlord fails to uphold their responsibility, filing an HP Action will protect your Tenant rights. Landlords must provide you with a habitable residence, meaning the timely resolution of essential repairs is required. If your essential repairs have gone unresolved, an HP action will protect your tenant rights, as established by the State of New York.

Succession Rights

Establishing Succession Rights passes your rent-controlled or rent-stabilized lease along to an assigned successor, but Succession Rights are not guaranteed. When you are ready to move to your next residence, you may want to pass along your lease to your roommates or family members looking for a safe and affordable residence.
