Download a Free Ethical Will Planning Guide
Planning for the future is more than just preparing documents, it's an opportunity to leave a meaningful legacy.
Our Free Ethical Will Planning Guide is designed to help you communicate your personal values, life lessons, and heartfelt wishes to your loved ones. Unlike legal wills that distribute assets, an ethical will is a deeply personal document that offers guidance, wisdom, and reflections that your family and friends can carry with them for years to come.
This guide walks you through how to express what's most important to you, your beliefs, hopes, advice, and the stories that shaped your life. It’s more than planning, it’s a lasting gift to those you care about most.
Real Estate Attorney Services
Buying or selling property on Long Island means dealing with contracts, title searches, and closing procedures that can trip you up fast. We handle residential real estate transactions from contract to closing, including title review and lien resolution. Our attorneys represent buyers, sellers, and FSBO homeowners across Nassau County, Suffolk County, and throughout the state.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer in Deer Park or selling a home in Babylon, our team reviews every document before you sign anything. We catch open permits, title defects, and mortgage satisfaction issues that other people miss. If you need a closing attorney or you’re selling without a realtor and want a FSBO attorney who knows the process, we handle it start to finish.
Estate Planning and Probate
Most families on Long Island put off estate planning until something forces their hand. A health scare, a new baby, a parent passing away. We help you get ahead of that. Our firm drafts wills and trusts, sets up power of attorney documents, and handles elder law planning for families dealing with aging parents and long-term care decisions.
When a loved one passes, the probate process can feel overwhelming. We walk families through estate administration in Nassau and Suffolk County Surrogate’s Court so nothing falls through the cracks. We also prepare ethical wills for clients who want to pass down values and personal wishes alongside their assets.
Business Law and Commercial Litigation
Running a business on Long Island without proper legal documentation is a gamble. Handshake deals, outdated contracts, and the wrong entity structure can all come back to bite you. We draft and review business contracts, handle startup formation for LLCs and corporations, and make sure your operating agreements actually protect you.
When disputes happen, we represent business owners in commercial litigation and fight to resolve contract disagreements, partnership conflicts, and vendor disputes. For owners thinking about retirement or an exit strategy, our business succession planning services make sure the transition happens on your terms, not someone else’s.
Consumer Protection and Debt Defense
Debt collectors break the rules more often than most people realize. Calls at odd hours, threats that aren’t legal, and debts that aren’t even yours showing up on your credit report. If that sounds familiar, our consumer protection team fights back. We handle FDCPA violation claims against collectors who cross the line and FCRA credit reporting disputes when agencies refuse to fix errors.
You don’t have to sit there and take it. Our debt defense attorneys represent Long Island residents who are being sued over debts they may not even owe. We review the paperwork, challenge what doesn’t add up, and hold bad actors accountable under federal consumer protection laws.
Per Diem Attorney Services
Law firms across Nassau and Suffolk County rely on us for court appearance coverage when they can’t be in two places at once. Our per diem attorney services cover Supreme Court appearances, calendar calls, and conference appearances. We show up prepared, on time, and ready to represent your client the way you would.
Before every appearance, we review the file and confirm the details so there are no surprises in the courtroom. Check our availability and rates or learn how it works if this is your first time using a per diem service. We cover courts across Long Island and take bookings on short notice when your schedule won’t cooperate.
Areas We Serve on Long Island
Our office is in Deer Park, right off Commack Road, and we serve clients across Long Island. That includes towns like Babylon, Lindenhurst, West Islip, Commack, Smithtown, Massapequa, Huntington, and everywhere in between. We handle matters in Nassau County and Suffolk County courts regularly and represent clients throughout New York State.
Whether you’re off the Southern State, down Sunrise Highway, or up near the LIE in Melville, we’re a short drive away. Most of our real estate clients come from the towns surrounding Deer Park, but our estate planning and business law clients come from all over the island. We also take cases statewide when the situation calls for it.
Testimonials
Jennifer P. and John Henry P.
Shari was our attorney for the purchase of our first home. She made the entire process seamless and was a tremendous help. She was always there to answer any questions we had and she handled any issues that came up without us even having to worry. It was a wonderful experience, and I would recommend her to anyone needing an attorney.
