Working Toward Solutions
Experienced Representation in New York Marital and Family Law
My approach is to downplay emotions and focus on solutions, rather than ratchet up the drama and the tension. I will go to court to protect your interests when the alternatives have been exhausted. However, after 19 years as a divorce lawyer, I believe that avoiding litigation is better in the long run for you, your soon-to-be ex and your children.
Contact Keith B. Schulefand, Esq., today for compassionate legal counsel on the path to reasonable, workable resolutions.
