For those of you who are interested in such things,
here is some additional background information
about me and the work that I do.
- I graduated from Rutgers School of Law (Newark) in 1961; have
practiced law (mostly matrimonial) for most of those 47 years since;
and since my training in 1989, and aside from my non adversarial style
representing litigating parties, have acted as a mediator in the
area of separation and divorce. For whatever it's worth, here are
some of my professional affiliations.
- Accredited Practitioner Member (APM), NJ Association of Professional;
Mediators (NJAPM) the most respected organization of its kind in New Jersey.
Given its importance as a source of lots of information, and noted elsewhere
in this site, I again urge readers to visit them at www.njapm.com
- Before having both been absorbed into an organization whose name I cannot
recall, was a Certified Divorce Mediator member in the international Academy of
Family Mediators (AFM) and an Associate Member of the Society of Professionals in
Dispute Resolution (SPIDR).
- Certified Divorce Mediator, National Center for
Mediation Education.
- Member of the National Academy of Conciliators, and
the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation.
- Licensed to practice law in the States of New Jersey
and New York.
- Member and former Director of the Dispute Resolution Section,
and a memberof the Family Law Section, of the New Jersey State Bar
Association; and a member of the Family Law and Dispute Resolution
Sections of the Ocean County Bar Association. Guest some time ago
on the WABD (95.9 FM )"Help Yourself" radio talk show with
