Law Firm Overview

Since its inception in 1987, Weltman & Moskowitz, LLP has concentrated on aggressively representing businesses and individuals in civil litigation, bankruptcy and reorganization, creditors' rights, business, corporate and commercial transactions, shareholder rights disputes, and real estate matters. With three offices in New York and New Jersey, the firm achieves success through dedication and efficiency and adherence to the highest ethical standards.

Weltman & Moskowitz, LLP is built on the vision of its founders -- to provide the highest quality of legal services in the most cost-effective way for its clients. The firm has the staff and technological resources to handle substantial matters as effectively as the largest firms, but remains small enough to enable its attorneys to maintain direct and prompt contact with clients, to exercise close personal supervision over transactions and litigation, and to streamline the presentation of even the most complex cases.

At Weltman & Moskowitz, LLP , the emphasis is on listening to the needs of the client and providing value in meeting those needs. The firm's size is an asset -- optimizing teamwork, avoiding overstaffing and duplication of effort, and creating a lawyer-client relationship which best serves the client's needs. The firm's dedication to updating technology furthers its cost-containment commitment by enabling ready access to data, optimal communication, and reduction of wasteful overhead.

The firm's attorneys understand that legal services must be measured against the results achieved an their direct impact upon the bottom line. At the same time the firm builds on relationships by providing personal, proactive legal representation. This means taking the time to find out where clients want to be and helping them get there. As a result, the firm employs a sensible cost/benefit approach to each client's particular legal objectives. The firm's attorneys also understand the need to manage the cost of aggressive representation. A legal victory should not cost more than it is worth.

Weltman & Moskowitz, LLP offers clients more than talented, well prepared attorneys. The firm pays as much attention to the quality of the services provided as to the substantive work produced. Quality service means communicating effectively, responding promptly and continually improving the efficiency and speed of delivery of legal services. The firm's success is the result of the right balance of preparation, legal expertise, experience, and sound judgment. It is precisely that balance, joined by state of the art technology and attention to detail, which deliver distinct advantages to the firm's clients.

Clients of the firm range from multinational corporations to banks and federal credit unions, licensed professionals to real estate developers, managers and owners, as well as business entities and their owners, start-up ventures and e-commerce netizens, corporate executives, private individuals and families.
