A Legal Workshop for Mental Health Profressionals

The Law Firm of Wisselman, Harounian & Associates, PC are pleased to provide a very special complimentary legal workshop with a very special guest. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. Workshop 9:30 a.m.

Mr. David Goldman will speak, firsthand, about the legal and mental health related issues he has dealt with resulting from the abduction of his son, Sean, to Brazil by his wife.  He and Sean (then four-years old) were separated for five and a half years until they were finally reunited in 2009 with support from such high level U.S. government officials as New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith, U.S. Senator from New Jersey, Frank R. Lautenberg and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.  News of the decision made headlines around the world.

Mr. Goldman will describe his legal battles domestically and internationally, and share the emotional impact that the abduction has had on him and his family.  Issues to be discussed will include mental health issues related to parental child abduction, the Hague Convention and its enforcement, fathers’ rights/parental alienation and visitation access by family members.

Mr. Goldman recently completed a memoir entitled “A Father’s Love, One Man’s Unrelenting Battle to Bring His Abducted Son Home”.  It chronicles his ordeal and how his commitment and love for his son helped him stay the path and continue the fight for their eventual reunion.  Mr. Goldman will talk about the relevant legal and personal challenges discussed in his book. Signed books will be available for sale on the day of the workshop.

This workshop is open only to invited guests of Wisselman, Harounian & Associates, PC, and to active members of mental health professional associations, as seating is limited. There are currently seats available for the Sat. November 5^th workshop. Attendees will be able to request CLE credit from their professional organizations for participating. 

A complimentary breakfast will be served.
