Welcome to The Rivkind Law Firm

 

Business, Family Law and Estate Planning Attorneys in New Jersey and New York

The Rivkind Law Firm represents small business owners, individuals, families, and medical providers in New Jersey and New York. Based in Weehawken, attorneys Shari A. Rivkind and Morgan J. Weil work with clients in Hoboken, Jersey City, , throughout Hudson, Essex, Union, and Bergen Counties, in New York City, and throughout New Jersey.

We proudly offer remote consultations and meetings via teleconference to accommodate clients’ schedules and preferences. We make it easy for you to access the legal support you need from the comfort of your home or office.

You may be here because someone has asked you to sign a contract, you’re getting married, or it’s time to put your family’s estate plan in place. Whatever brings you to us, we start by listening. We want to know what you’re trying to accomplish, what concerns you, and what you need answered before you can make a decision.

Small Business Law and Contract Disputes

Representing businesses has long been a central part of Shari A. Rivkind’s nearly 40 years in practice. We prepare and review business contracts, including client and vendor contracts, employment agreements, licensing agreements, leases, and more. Her clients have included dozens of restaurants and catering halls, hundreds of physicians and medical practices, salons, clothing stores, product brands, a world-famous interior designer, roofers and contractors of every type, small businesses of every type, online sellers, content creators and influencers, consultants and coaches. She has also worked on legal matters involving large chain companies, well-known hotels and department stores, represented chemical and oil companies, sporting goods retailers, and spa chains in their leases, contract disputes, and everyday legal affairs. Whatever kind of business you run, chances are we’ve represented one like it.

Family Law, Divorce and Prenuptial Agreements

We advise and represent individuals in family law matters, including divorce, prenuptial agreements, and postnuptial agreements. [Shari has represented clients in divorce and matrimonial matters for nearly 40 years.] Morgan J. Weil works with clients preparing for marriage and with families making decisions about their future. Sometimes those concerns overlap with a business matter. If you built a business before getting married, for example, what happens to that business may be one of the first things you want to discuss. In a prenup matter, we represent one individual and can draft an agreement or independently review one prepared by the other party’s lawyer.

Wills, Trusts and Estate Planning

Morgan also works with individuals and families on wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and health care documents. We take time to talk through the decisions behind those documents, including whom you trust to act for you, who depends on you, and what you want to provide for them. Whether you’re putting a plan in place for the first time or revisiting one after a marriage or the birth of a child, we help you understand your choices.

Representation of Medical Providers

We represent physicians and other medical providers in personal injury protection (PIP) arbitrations, insurance payment disputes, medical licensing matters, and complex matters involving allegations of fraud.
