Biography

For over four decades, Mark has provided strategically insightful counseling and first-chair trial representation in intricate family law matters, with an emphasis on representing professionals, business owners, senior level executives, and their spouses with discretion and empathy.

Broadly regarded as one of the preeminent matrimonial trial lawyers in New Jersey, he is among a very small group of lawyers who are certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney, a designation which speaks to his exceptional expertise and diverse experience in his area of practice.

Mark provides counsel across all aspects of family law, including the evaluation and division of financial holdings, property and other marital assets in contested divorce cases, hard-hitting advocacy in separation and divorce proceedings and custody trials, and skilled negotiation of alimony and child support issues. He represents clients in domestic violence trials and in relocation cases, oversees forensic evaluations to determine imputed income, and provides support in the drafting of prenuptial and marital settlement agreements.

Mark represents clients at trial, in mediations and arbitrations, and at post judgment modification and enforcement hearings. His experience also encompasses complex civil litigation, with a particular focus on sophisticated and high value business-related disputes.
