In addition to our areas of primary practice—Immigration/Naturalization
and Appellate Litigation—Weiss & Kahn’s attorneys are experienced
in the following areas:
Family Law
We handle matters ranging from premarital agreements to complex divorce and
custody controversies. Most cases center on dissolution of marriage, including
the valuation and equitable distribution of assets and liabilities. Many cases
also involve custody, alimony, child support, and visitation. Paternity, domestic
violence, and relocation of residency out of state can also be central issues.
And questions of enforcement of judgments, and award of attorneys fees and costs
associated with the litigation, arise frequently.
Family law also covers cohabitation agreements for non-married couples, adoptions,
name changes, and complex questions of jurisdiction when parents and children
move between states. Disputes frequently arise after a divorce has become final,
often years later. Here parties usually seek to modify a final judgment on the
ground of substantial change of circumstances since judgment was entered.
Given the firm’s expertise in immigration law, we are particularly well
equipped to deal with international adoptions, and the complex U.S. immigration
regulations that govern them.
International Law
We advise and represent clients in many areas of international practice, including
contracts, business creation, and immigration. Dr. Kahn regularly teaches International
Law in the University of Miami’s Department of International Studies.
Administrative Law
Our experience dealing with the baffling bureaucracy enveloping immigration
to the United States makes other administrative agencies—federal, state
or local—look intelligible, and almost friendly. We have successfully
represented clients before a variety of local, state and federal agencies regarding
regulatory compliance, enforcement actions and administrative proceedings.
Professional Licensing and Discipline
We advise and represent clients having trouble obtaining or retaining a professional
license; and those facing discipline from professional regulatory bodies.
Commercial Litigation
Our practice includes contract claims, debt collection matters, and landlord-tenant
disputes.
