About

 I have focused on matrimonial and family law for nearly the entirety of my career and in that field, there is very little that I have not experienced. Divorce is most often traumatic and can lead even the most rational person to make impulsive, ill-advised and emotional decisions. In the absence of forethought, damaging and irreparable decisions can be made. Accordingly, based upon my various experiences in the area of divorce and family law, I have developed a seven-point plan to serve as a default organizational tool. I believe that by employing this type of resource, common mistakes can be avoided and immediate issues that arise when contemplating divorce can be addressed systematically. Thus, when a problem arises, a solution is readily at hand.Admitted: 2003, New York Law School: Albany Law School, J.D. Member: Suffolk County and New York State Bar Associations Zachary I.

I went to Zachary to help fix all of the problems that my former incompetent lawyer botched up. Zachary was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and displayed a level of interest and personal care that the other lawyer did not. Additionally, Zachary was able to cite and apply law rules and terms to my case like he was reading them right out of the law book. Zachary is also a good person. It is extremely obvious that he cares about his profession, the law, and his clients. AND..most of all, Zachary makes you feel comfortable and explains things in a way that a non-lawyer can understand. I highly recommend Zachary to anybody who is seeking an excellent lawyer and person.

Zachary is a zealous, thorough and passionate advocate on behalf of his clients. He worked tirelessly for me for the past 3 years on a very complex and acrimonious divorce/custody case. Due to Zachary's tenacity and mastery of matrimonial law, I fared very well and was very pleased! I would highly recommend Zachary to anyone needing a "think outside the box," stand-out, matrimonial attorney.
