                                   OVER 39 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
 
Attorney Vahl is a seasoned advocate, negotiator, mediator and legal counselor. Since 1985 he has represented clients in all New York State courts, handling literally thousands of divorces, mediations, lawsuits, complex transactions and other legal matters.

 

As your attorney Carl Vahl pledges:
​
  • to treat you and your legal matters with respect and compassion, not just a source of income,
  • to return email and phone calls promptly, usually within 24 hours,
  • to answer your questions in plain English, not legalese,
  • to keep all communications strictly confidential,
  • ​to provide "frank and honest advice" concerning the likelihood of success in court and whether or not you should seek a negotiated resolution before spending thousands of dollars on time consuming legal preliminary matters,
  • to advocate your legal position zealously, within the bounds of the law, should you desire a judge to decide your case, or if the opposition gives you no option but to seek a court determination,
  • to use his many years of experience to provide you the best legal advice possible and to put your interests first,
  • to render fair and honest bills and to never gouge or churn for the sake of making more money.
