Nancy’s practice is dedicated to family law. Admitted to the bar in 2010, she has extensive experience litigating in New York Supreme Court, Family Court, and Criminal Court, and has successfully argued before the Appellate Division First Judicial Department. She is regularly appointed as counsel, court evaluator, and guardian in Article 81 proceedings. She also serves as an external Title IX Advisor for New York University, helping students navigate the adjudication of Title IX and code of conduct violations.

Before starting her practice, she was an attorney at a matrimonial law firm in Manhattan, where she gained invaluable experience working on sophisticated and complex matters. Prior to that, she sharpened her skills working as a litigator in general practice and spent three formative years as an Assistant District Attorney at the Bronx D.A.’s Office prosecuting misdemeanor and felony crimes in the Domestic Violence, Grand Jury and Narcotics bureaus.

Nancy earned her undergraduate degree in English from the University of Michigan (B.A., December 2004) and her law degree from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law (J.D., June 2009). While in law school, she was selected by a faculty committee for Cardozo’s Public Interest Fellowship, which she completed at the Safe Horizon Domestic Violence Law Project. 

Nancy currently serves as Corresponding Secretary of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association. She is fluent in Spanish and lives in Westchester with her husband and children.
