Lawyer Overview

Albert is admitted to practice law in the state of New York. He is engaged in the practice of personal injury law, matrimonial and family law, criminal defense matters, and civil litigation.

Albert graduated from the University of Hartford with a Bachelor of Arts degrees in both Mass Media and Public Relations. Albert then attended the Pace University School of Law where he earned his Juris Doctor.

As an undergraduate, he was employed at the law office of Lipsky, Seidman & Lipsky in NY, New York. At this firm, he prepared and filed probate petitions in all five boroughs of New York and assisted in generating and administering estate plans. During law school, he interned at the law office of Harrington, Ocko & Monk in White Plains, New York, where he worked in the firm's civil defense department.

Albert began his legal career as an Associate in the Law office of Kopff, Nardell & Dopf in NY, New York where he continued his work in civil defense focusing on motion practice and trial preparation. In 2003, Albert returned home to Mahopac, New York and became an Associate at Spain & Spain, PC. He felt privileged to be able to serve many individual clients as opposed to the large insurance and construction companies that he had been representing.

Albert is a member of the New York State Bar Association, the Westchester Bar Association, the Yorktown Bar Association, and the Putnam Bar Association. He and his wife Amy are the proud parents of their daughter Annie. They live in the heart of Yorktown Heights.
