I have already made a difference with the landmark case of Bisbing v. Bisbing where I appeared before the NJ Supreme Court. The Bisbing case added an interpretation for what is necessary to establish “cause” to allow a child to permanently relocate out of state with a parent.

5) The lawyer profession and the court lifestyle can be grueling at times - what do you do to stay energized, and passionate about your work?    

There is never a lack of energy when I am  fighting for  my clients.  You are correct that it can be grueling but I get a lot of energy from my clients.   

6) Share with us one industry "Pro Tip":

Before you retain an attorney,  ask around about  his or her ability to settle a case. A good lawyer settles a case -- a bad lawyer  does not .
