Hiring the right attorney to represent you through divorce negotiations can potentially save you thousands of dollars in your divorce.
I get phone calls every day where a woman or man calls with the following type of story. I hate getting these calls. Not because we choose not to represent them, but because I tell them the truth, the harsh reality of New York divorce law, and the truth really sucks… (pardon my language, but its true)
