Real Estate Law

7 Southwoods Blvd, Albany, NY 12211, USA

I joined Herzog Law Firm in 2020 after spending 11 years managing my own law firm. I enjoy representing buyers & sellers in residential and commercial real estate transactions. Communication during a real estate transaction is critical, so I spend a lot of time making sure that everyone involved in the transaction is on the same page. This helps to avoid drama and surprises, and as a result, leads to more successful closings! Purchasing and selling a home is one of the biggest transactions that people will go through, and I am truly honored to be a part of the transaction to guide my clients every step of the way. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing guitar, cooking, and golfing.

As an attorney in private practice, I have advocated for clients and their families in Family Court, and in Supreme Court.

I have also been a Law Guardian representing children in custody, juvenile delinquency, PINS, and in child abuse and neglect circumstances. Additionally, I have recently served as staff attorney for the New York State Office of Children and Family Services reviewing applications for the appeal of indicated reports of child abuse and maltreatment. I served as a Principal Court Attorney for a Family Court Judge and Acting Supreme Court Justice for ten years. This decade of Court Attorney experience has enabled me to understand the family law legal process from the important perspectives of judges and the court system itself. I know how both sides approach a family law case, what Family Court judges are looking for, how decisions are made, and what a person from a neutral perspective such as a judge sees in a dispute that is vigorously contested. My unique experience helps me to develop creative solutions to serve the always-unique and complex needs of my clients. I am prepared and qualified to represent you in every aspect of matrimonial law, including the most difficult problems and circumstances you are likely to face. I have resolved hundreds of complex family law cases and I am committed to assisting each of my clients to achieve the most satisfactory results for themselves and their children. I am the mother of three daughters and have specialized in divorce and family law for more than 25 years.
