What We Do Responsive, thorough, practical legal representation.


The law firm of Thomas, Drohan, Waxman, Petigrow & Mayle, LLP offers a multitude of management-side legal services to educational, municipal and private clients throughout the Hudson Valley area. We frequently act as general counsel to educational institutions.  In addition, we represent clients in matters at every level of the state and federal court system, during collective bargaining, before arbitrators, mediators and administrative entities.

Several important principles govern our approach to the practice:

  •  We emphasize the prevention of legal problems.
  • When legal problems do arise, we counsel clients in the resolution of disputes, whether the forum is an administrative hearing, collective bargaining negotiations, a labor arbitration or a lawsuit in state or federal court.
  • We emphasize efficiency in our practice.  As a result, we are able to provide quality legal services in a cost effective manner through careful assignment of work, project budgets and reasonable rates.
