The Firm
Twelve attorneys covering twelve practice areas, in eight languages. The one you meet at the consultation is the one who handles your matter.
Managing Partner
Margaret founded the firm's business practice in 1998 and has spent twenty-five years advising Queens companies through formation, growth, financing and sale. She chairs the firm's management committee and still handles closings herself.
Partner
Rafael leads the real estate group and has closed well over a thousand Queens transactions — co-ops, condos, two- and three-family houses, and small commercial buildings. He grew up six blocks from the office.
Partner
Priya advises community banks, credit unions and lenders on regulatory compliance, loan documentation and workouts. She came to the firm after eight years in a Manhattan financial institutions group.
Partner
Daniel heads the litigation and civil defense group. He has tried cases in New York Supreme Court and the federal district courts, and handles the firm's most contested commercial disputes.
Partner
Aracely built the firm's immigration practice around the neighborhood it sits in. She handles family petitions, naturalization, adjustment of status and removal defense, and appears regularly before the New York Immigration Court.
Senior Counsel
Jonathan has drafted wills and trusts for three generations of Queens families. He guides executors through Queens County Surrogate's Court and structures plans that keep a family home in the family.
Senior Associate
Nora represents clients in divorce, custody, support and prenuptial matters, with a practice built on settling what can be settled and litigating firmly what cannot.
Senior Associate
Marcus represents people hurt in motor vehicle collisions, construction accidents and premises cases across the five boroughs. He works on contingency and takes cases to verdict when the offer is not right.
Associate
Ifeoma advises employers on wage-and-hour compliance, handbooks and separations, and represents employees in discrimination, harassment and unpaid-wage claims.
Of Counsel
Vincent spent eleven years as a Queens County prosecutor before moving to the defense side. He handles arraignments through trial in Queens Criminal Court and Supreme Court, and DMV refusal hearings.
Associate
Sofia handles residential purchases, sales and refinancings, and shepherds first-time buyers through contract, board package and closing without letting a deadline slip.
Associate
Aleksander represents individuals and small businesses in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings in the Eastern District of New York, and negotiates with creditors where a filing can be avoided.
How we staff a matter
Larger firms pass a matter down the chain after the pitch. We do not have a chain. The attorney who takes your consultation is the attorney whose name goes on the filings, who appears at the conference and who returns your call.
Where a matter crosses practices — and many do — a second attorney is brought in, introduced to you, and stays on the file. You will always know who is doing what.
Languages
Woodside is among the most linguistically diverse neighborhoods in the country, and a legal matter is hard enough in your first language. Between our attorneys and staff we take matters in:
The first consultation is free and takes about thirty minutes. Tell us what happened and we will tell you honestly whether you need a lawyer, and what it should cost.
