Specializing in appellate practice, we handle cases in New York's First and Second Departments. Our approach combines trial preparation with meticulous brief writing to challenge or defend judgments. With a 60% reversal rate, we leverage procedural expertise to maximize outcomes for clients facing complex legal precedents.

Our firm handles constructive trust cases involving informal property agreements and unjust enrichment claims. We represent clients in proving fiduciary breaches or oral agreements, particularly in same-sex divorce contexts where traditional remedies may not apply. Our approach balances equitable principles with enforceable legal outcomes.
