Paternity Lawyer in the New York City Metro Area

Paternity issues are intricately tied to issues involving child support. Often DNA testing is used to establish paternity and enter paternity orders against fathers to enforce child support payments. As a New York City paternity lawyer, I also represent fathers who wish to establish themselves as the biological father to maintain relationships with their children.

If you need legal representation in an issue involving paternity law or a paternity order, contact a Queens paternity lawyer. Call me at (718) 875-5151.

A Paternity Lawyer with 25 Years of Experience

I have 25 years of experience representing clients in sensitive, emotional, and important issues in all areas of family law. In these 25 years, I have seen new trends and issues arise in paternity law. "Equitable paternity" may be a phrase you have heard recently. It is a relatively new development in paternity, and essentially operates under the theory that "if he acts like the father, he is the father." If a father has assumed that a child is his, supports the child, and later finds out it is not his child, he may be ordered to still pay child support. This development is confusing and requires representation from a skilled attorney.

I also represent clients in paternity litigation. Clients appreciate my thoroughness and commitment to their case.
