An accountant by training and licensed to practice law in New Jersey, pending admission to New York, I am a native New Yorker who is also fluent in Russian. In addition to matrimonial/family law, I have extensive experience in business/corporate law and trusts/estates law. I have assisted countless clients with their business needs - from business agreements to dissolving companies to divorce proceedings. I am an experienced grant-writer with nine years of experience in the nonprofit sector, securing over $4,000,000 in funding from city, state, federal and private foundation grants. Previously, I was a part of a nonprofit senior management where I handled all legal work for a $12,000,000 agency located in New York City. In addition to legal work, I handled grant-writing and managed all programs.
