Biography
Although my firm practices in several different fields of law, my expertise is primarily in Mortgage Foreclosure Defense,Divorce & Family Law, Bankruptcy, and Mortgage loan modification. In terms of divorce law, I have a unique prospective from both my personal and professional experience that few other attorneys can match.

2608 Questions Answered
- Q. Can I get a restraining order against my son's father and grandmother after they harmed my son?
- A: You can certainly press criminal charges against both parties. Whether or not you can obtain a restraining order against the grandmother requires more facts. You may be able to obtain a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) on your own. Then if you get the TRO, you will need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney to represent you in seeking a Final Restraining Order. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule: a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price. With modern technology, you can be represented by any high-quality attorney in New Jersey irrespective of geography.
- Q. How can I proceed legally after questionable job offer with financial transactions and lost bank access?

Do not do something like this again! Not trying to be harsh, just providing a reality check.
- Q. Can "Written in the Stars" be used for a NJ astrology business? Legal aspects?
- A: I seriously doubt that "Written in the Stars." can be copyrighted. Copyright law is designed to protect original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible medium (like a novel, song lyrics, or artwork). However, short phrases, slogans, titles, and other brief expressions generally do not qualify for copyright protection. This means that the phrase "Written in the Stars" by itself would not typically be eligible for copyright. This does not fit that definition. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE! YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY WHO IS LICENSED IN YOUR STATE FOR LEGAL ADVICE. This is merely suggestions for you to think about in discussing your situation with the local attor ... Read More
