David R. Tawil

For more than two decades, David has focused his career on matrimonial and family law matters. David is an experienced trial attorney handling complex divorce proceedings, including business valuations, custody disputes, high income alimony, child support proceedings, and equitable distribution of assets; including distribution of multi-faceted assets, business interests and deferred compensation. He has tried numerous family law matters, including domestic violence proceedings and custody and parenting time matters, as well as Appellate proceedings, post-judgment cohabitation, alimony modification applications, and change of circumstances motions and hearings. He handles cases in all aspects of mediation and arbitration, and is admitted in both New York and New Jersey.

In addition to work in the civil courts, David provides cross-platform services for members of the observant Jewish populations of New York and New Jersey, who would prefer to adjudicate issues before the Rabbinical Courts. He has lectured at various religious institutions, and also serves as an advisor to several Rabbinical Courts in the same vein, advising as to the more complex aspects of civil laws relating to divorce, custody and support, and the interaction between civil and religious legal canons; assisting the Rabbinical Courts in reaching decisions that are fair and equitable in all respects.

David is the co-author of both the 14th and 15th editions of the Domestic Violence chapter of the New Jersey Family Law Practice Series, the foremost Family Law treatise in use by family law practitioners in New Jersey, and has authored other articles on family law topics. He speaks regularly on all aspects of matrimonial and family law, including domestic violence and custody issues, financial security, equitable distribution and support.

With more than two decades of practice in the field, experience matters.
