No. Our attorneys are licensed in New York and the firm handles New York matters. If your matter belongs elsewhere, we will help you find counsel there.
The firm does not handle general civil litigation. It does handle probate, estate administration, and guardianship proceedings, and misdemeanor defense. For other disputes we refer to litigation counsel we trust.
