Discrimination
Despite the Federal and State laws that prohibit discrimination against individuals due to age, sex, nationality, race, disability, gender identity or expression, many individuals have experienced discrimination in work, school, housing, and the community. Leaf can help you address this discrimination and understand the various means of righting these wrongs.
Family Court Litigation
Issues regarding custody, visitation, protective orders and support can often be resolved more simply outside of a matrimonial proceeding. We work closely with all of our clients to find the most efficient and effective solution to your problem We give you the options and advice and you make the decisions.
