Prior to entering private practice, Mr. Weltz gained significant knowledge in all areas of the law by virtue of his training in the Supreme Court, New York County, first as a Law Assistant to the Justices of that Court, then as a Law Secretary to one of those Justices (the Hon. Louis J. Capozzoli). His training continued as a Law Secretary to a Justice of the Appellate Division, Director of the Office of Projects Development, and Administrator of the 18-b Criminal and Family Court panels, having been instrumental in the creation and running of both panels and, finally, as Chief Law Assistant to the Justices of the Appellate Division, First Department.
Over the past three decades Mr. Weltz has engaged in the private practice of law, specializing in matrimonial law. He has handled cases in every Court and at every level of the State judicial hierarchy and has contributed significantly to the body of law which has grown up under the Equitable Distribution and custody laws through lecturing, interviews and a steady stream of reported cases, citations for which are available upon request.
Except for clients whose matters were reported in the media, the confidentiality of our clients is at all time respected.
Our client list, which includes noted entertainers and TV broadcasters, runs the gamut, from Woody Allen and Mia Farrow to obtaining the return of Olympic Gold Medals as part of a marital settlement. We have seen and heard and negotiated or litigated our way through matters of every nature.
When all is said and done we still firmly believe that our client’s interests are best served by painstakingly negotiated settlements, but only after an in depth analysis of all issues involved, financial and otherwise. We give special attention to the best interests of children involved in marital breakups. Naturally, trial and appellate practice may become necessary and we will not hesitate to engage therein when required.
