AN OVERVIEW

We are equally comfortable representing individuals in small cases or large corporate clients in multi-million dollar cases. From private business professionals and small start-ups to large national and international corporations, our clients trust us to handle disputes that affect the core of their business or financial lives. Some of the larger clients that we have represented include banks, lenders, mortgage companies, equipment and vehicle lessors, equipment dealers, auto finance companies, and major corporations.

We provide our legal services to business owners and business professionals in the State, Federal and Bankruptcy Courts throughout New York. We routinely appear in courts in the 5 boros of New York City (Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and Staten Island), Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk), Westchester and Rockland Counties.  We have handled cases in other counties like Sullivan, Dutchess, Albany and even Franklin, along the Canadian border. We have also handled appeals to the Appellate Division and Circuit Court of Appeals.

We aggressively protect your interests while always keeping your litigation budget in mind. Our primary goal is to find the solution that works best for you and makes economic sense. That may involve “going to the mat” and doing battle in court, negotiating a settlement out of court, or handling an arbitration or mediation to try to streamline the process of dispute resolution. We know that you want to avoid litigation and we will help you present a strong posture for settlement. The best way to negotiate a fair settlement is to let your adversary know that you are prepared and ready to litigate if necessary. We do our best to avoid litigation for our clients but when it becomes necessary, we give it everything we’ve got to help protect our client’s interests.

We handle all phases of civil litigation in business and real estate matters including drafting pleadings, complex discovery (including document production, interrogatories, and depositions), motion practice (including motions to dismiss and for summary judgment), trials, appeals, enforcement of judgments and supplementary proceedings.
