Legal in New York

Vishnick McGovern Milizio LLP

Lake Success, NY

Vishnick McGovern Milizio is a full-service law firm that has practiced in New York since 1969, with offices on Long Island, in Manhattan and in New Jersey. The breadth here is the point. Estate planning, wills and trusts, elder law, family law, adoption, assisted reproduction and surrogacy, real estate, employment, personal injury and business matters are all handled in-house, so a client is not sent elsewhere at the moment a matter turns into two matters. The assisted reproduction and adoption practice deserves particular note. Building a family through surrogacy, donor arrangements or second-parent adoption involves contracts, parentage orders and court steps that most firms encounter rarely, and getting them right is what makes a parent's legal relationship to their child secure rather than assumed. New York's rules in this area changed materially in recent years, and the details are unforgiving. More than fifty years in practice means the firm has seen how the law here has shifted, and has been advocating for individuals and families throughout.
