Bankruptcy: Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy enables an individual to eliminate many common
types of debts and get a fresh financial start in life. Those who don’t qualify
for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy may have the option of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.

In Chapter 13 Bankuptcry, an individual is able to pay back part or all of his or
her debts with an interest-free payment plan with a duration of 3 to 5 years.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy can also be helpful if you are falling behind in your
mortgage payments.

Family Law: Uncontested and Contested Divorce, Divorce by Publication,
Annulment, Legal Separation, Prenuptial Agreements, Postnuptial
Agreements, Family Court Matters, Custody, Visitation, Child Support,
Spousal Support, Paternity and Orders of Protection

If you are married and you and your spouse are in agreement to divorce and
have discussed all of the decisions to be made, such as custody, visitation,
child support, spousal support, and division of assets, you can obtain a
relatively inexpensive, quick, uncontested divorce.

If you and your spouse don’t agree on these issues, we can assist you in a
contested divorce. We can also help you with divorce if you don't know the
whereabouts of your spouse.

If an annulment is appropriate, we can obtain an annulment to end your
marriage. If you and your spouse are not ready to end your marriage but
want to live apart, we can assist you with a legal separation.

If you need to go to Family Court, please keep in mind that it’s almost always
best to be represented by an experienced lawyer.

If you are need of representation, be it for child support, custody, spousal
support, order of protection, or paternity in Family Court, we can help.

Immigration: Permanent Residency (Green Card) by Family Sponsorship,
Citizenship, Visas and Deportation

We have helped many individuals obtain a Green Card through family
sponsorship. Family sponsorship can be established by a U.S. Citizen or
Green Card Holder and can be a spouse, child, brother, sister, or step-child.

If the amount of time you have been a Green Card holder satisfies the
requirement, we can assist you in obtaining your U.S. Citizenship. We also
represent those in regard to visas, deportation or removal proceedings.

Real Estate: Buying and Selling a House, Condo, or Co-op; Refinancing, and
Performing Deed Changes

When selecting an attorney to help you with the purchase or sale of your
home, don’t look for a bargain lawyer; you will get what you pay for.

Also, don’t contact a lawyer that was recommended by any other party
involved in the transaction, including the real estate agent. You want a
lawyer who is looking out for your best interests.

We also represent clients who wish to refinance their mortgage or make
changes to their deeds.

Wills and Estates: Wills, Living Will, Health Care Proxy, Power of Attorney,
Probate, and Name Changes

Most people understand why they should have a will; however, many people
don’t realize that they need a living will and health care proxy as well.

In a living will, you state what actions you want to be taken or not taken in
regard to your medical care in the event that you can’t speak for yourself.

In a health care proxy, you state who you wish to have the authority to
speak on your behalf to doctors.
