Additional Practice Areas

The attorneys at the Drucker Law Firm have extensive litigation experience and represent clients who are involved in court cases in a variety of matters. Hablamos Espanol.

Family Law

The Drucker Law Firm will assist clients who either would like to start a case, or have been served with a Summons to appear in court for the following types of proceedings:

• Filiation (Paternity)
• Child Support
• Custody
• Orders of Protection
• Neglect Proceedings

If you are the party bringing the matter to court (plaintiff), we will assist in preparing and serving the petition on the appropriate party(s) in a timely matter. The Drucker Law Firm will then prepare you for your first court appearance and appear in Family Court on your behalf. If you are the defendant in a Family Court Petition, we will meet with you and make sure that you are prepared for your first court appearance in front of the judge. We will also appear on your behalf at the Family Court.

Adoption

Are you interested in adopting a child anywhere in the world?
In addition to international adoptions requiring special immigration petitions, the Drucker Law Firm also represents clients who want to adopt a child or adult living in the United States. The adoptive parent is often the stepparent of the adoptive child but may also be a family member who wants to adopt their relative in need.

We will consult with the adoptive parents to discuss the serious and permanent nature that an adoption will have on all parties involved. We will then gather all the necessary documents needed to prepare the adoption petition and serve all papers on the Family Court handling the adoption proceedings. The Drucker Law Firm will then arrange for a home study with a licensed social worker to make sure that the adoptive parents(s) and living conditions are suitable for the adoptive child.

Consent of natural (biological) parent(s)
An important requirement of any adoption proceeding is the consent of the natural (biological) parent(s). The Drucker Law Firm will also make sure that the natural parent(s) are served with the Notice of Adoption, and/or Extrajudicial Consent, and if necessary, will appear in court on behalf our clients. In some cases, the natural parent decides to contest the adoption and our firm has experience taking these cases to trial and securing an Order of Adoption on behalf of our clients.

If you are interested in adoption, do not hesitate to call our office to schedule a consultation.

• Possession of a Forged Documents

Have you, or someone you know, been arrested for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs? At the Drucker Law Firm we will work our hardest to ensure our clients are released from jail after their arraignment (first court appearance in front of the judge), and that our client is well prepared for their first court appearance.

We have experience representing clients who blew into the intoxilyzer machine, as well as those who refused. We have also successfully helped clients with previous DUI arrests, as well as those who have been charged with Felony DUI.

At the Drucker Law Firm we will mount a zealous defense to give you the best possible outcome in your case, such as a plea bargain to a non-criminal, or a lesser offense. If that is not a viable option, we will take the case to trial and help our client obtain a not guilty verdict.

General Litigation

Personal Injury Defense: For a variety of reasons a business owner, or homeowner’s liability insurance may decline to cover a claim leaving them without legal representation. The Drucker Law Firm will represent and defend small business owners or homeowners who are being sued for an incident that took place at their premises. We will do so with the understanding that our client wants the case disposed of as quickly and painlessly as possible. The Drucker Law Firm and will do everything in our powers to ensure an amicable resolution to the matter.

Real Estate Litigation: Were you recently involved in a real estate transaction that has gone bad? The Drucker Law Firm will sue the party that is at fault or will defend a client that has been sued by one of the parties involved in the real estate transaction. We will work to devise an amicable resolution as early in the litigation as possible, but if the other side is unwilling to be reasonable, we will prosecute the case through discovery, depositions, and trial, and ensure a good result for our client.

Small Claims/Civil Court Matters: At the Drucker Law Firm we enjoy consulting with clients who have either been sued in Small Claims Court, or clients who would like to proceed with an action in court. We will either represent our client in court, or if it is not financially advisable, we will arm our clients with the best possible arguments to make, and evidence to present, in front of the judge.
