Most people don't think about lawyers the same way they do about a family doctor or dentist or even a regular accountant. All too often, they may never think about when and why they may need an attorney until a situation arises where the services of a lawyer are necessary. The truth is that attorneys fulfill a number of different roles for their clients. At times, unanticipated events may mean that an attorney is needed to protect or enforce an individual's rights, for example, when they or a family member have been arrested and a criminal defense lawyer is needed; or when a dispute arises over a contract, employment, marital relations, child custody, etc. Sometimes, an attorney may be needed to assist with planned events, such as, purchasing or selling real estate, preparing a last will and testament, a living will or assisting with estate planning. In any of these cases, having a personal attorney whom you can trust, who will give you sound advice and always put your interests first is critical, because often the most important role that an attorney can play is that of a confidential and trusted counselor.

Whether you need a criminal defense attorney or help with an Elder Law (wills, trusts, estate and Medicaid planning) question, I am committed to providing my clients with the knowledge, integrity and skill they need to fully protect their interests, and doing so at a reasonable fee. My office handles criminal defense throughout the low Hudson Valley counties of Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, Putnam and Dutchess; and elder law clients in Orange and Ulster counties.
