Attorney Profiles

Brian, a partner with the firm, practices exclusively in the matrimonial area of the law, and has effectively represented clients before the New Jersey Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Superior Courts of New Jersey and the Federal Court system. Brian is one of the few attorneys in New Jersey who has earned the title Certified Matrimonial Law Attorney, meaning that our State's highest court has recognized him as an expert on divorce and family law matters.

In 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, after a selection process based upon peer voting and credentials research aimed at identifying the top 5% of all attorneys in the State of New Jersey, a blue ribbon panel named Brian a "Super Lawyer". In 2009, the blue ribbon panel compiling the Super Lawyers list identified Brian as one of the Top 100 Super Lawyers in New Jersey. Brian is the only Mercer County Family Law Attorney in the Top 100, and one of only two attorneys in the County to be included in the Top 100. (Click here for the Press Release.) In 2006, Brian was honored to be included on the New Jersey Law Journal's "40 under 40" list. (Click here for the article in PDF format.)

In addition, a significant portion of Brian's practice is dedicated to handling all types of divorce/family law appeals before New Jersey's Appellate courts. Brian receives many referrals for family law appellate work from other attorneys, which demonstrates their trust in his ability to handle the most difficult and complex legal issues.

A member of the New Jersey bar since 1995, Brian received his Juris Doctor from Widener University School of Law in Wilmington, Delaware, where he was awarded the American Jurisprudence Award for his superior skills in Legal Research and Writing. Brian earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Rutgers College in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
