Andrew represents individuals in all aspects of Family and Matrimonial Law, including divorce, property distribution, child custody, spousal support, child support, and matrimonial agreements (pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and separation agreements).
Andrew began his legal career as an associate with the New York offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP, where his practice focused on commercial litigation matters. He has focused exclusively on matrimonial and family law matters since joining CMFT in 2003. Andrew is keenly aware that each case and each client is different, and prides himself on understanding and helping his clients achieve their particular goals. When possible, Andrew strives to negotiate swift, cost-effective and favorable resolutions to matters in hopes of avoiding the need for litigation. However, where a settlement cannot be reached, Andrew is a skilled litigator who combines aggressive courtroom advocacy with a practical common-sense approach. Andrew is also extremely sensitive to the emotional impact that the divorce process can have on his clients (and their children) and recognizes the importance of offering clients his empathy, patience and understanding in addition to excellent legal advice.
Andrew received his law degree from Fordham University School of Law in 2000, where he earned Dean’s List honors and was the recipient of the Archibald R. Murray Public Service Award. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in 1996, where he graduated with a B.A. in Psychology. He is a member of the New York State Bar Association (Family Law Section); American Bar Association (Family Law Section); and the New York County Lawyers Association
