The New York Times reports that the first case to test New York State’s new definition of parent is underway. On August 30, 2016 the New York Court of Appeals issued a monumental decision regarding the definition of “parent” in relation to visitation and custody determinations. The case of Brooke S.B. v.

Absolutely a gem of an attorney. I walked into his office and explained my traffic issue to him, he understood my needs and confidently told me he’ll take care of multiple tickets. He then proceeded to do exactly that, even going to the prosecutor multiple times as he was unhappy with their initial offering.
Highly recommend this firm to anyone dealing with issues from the abysmal traffic authority of Long Island.
Recommend 100000%
A speeding ticket is always stressful specially when it is a out of state ticket. Hiring 'Daslin' to handle this speeding ticket was a great decision. She immediately jumped on my case and handled entire process/options and she also clearly explained what to expect. It was so impressive that i did not need to do anything at all and the ticket was dismissed😊😊. Thanks to her. I strongly recommend 'Daslin' for any traffic-related issue.
Chris was great, helped me with my landlord issue while being very informational and got right to business to get me back my deposit. Highly recommended !!
Great professional service. Got a swift hassle-free and great outcome as promised. Thank you to Chris and his team!
