Glen Cove Family Law Attorney - David Mejias

A Nassau County judge dismissed Monday charges that had been filed against a former lawmaker who was accused of stealing a pocketbook from his ex-girlfriend’s East Garden City home three months ago. David Mejias, a county legislator and one-time congressional candidate, had initially pleaded not guilty to charges of grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property. Prosecutors said that the 35-year-old woman did not want to pursue the case, prompting Judge Douglas Lerose to reduce the felony charges to misdemeanors and then dismiss them, according to reports and court documents. The judge also vacated a restraining order for Mejias to stay away from the woman. “I am grateful that these outlandish charges have been dismissed,” Mejias said in a statement. “There was never any truth to the charges and as an attorney I appreciate that the legal system worked and the truth has prevailed.” Police had arrested the 44-year-old Glen Cove-based attorney after he was accused ...

Criminal charges have been dropped against former Nassau County Legis. David Mejias, who was accused of stalking his ex-girlfriend while running for a New York State Senate seat last September. Stalking and menacing charges were dismissed in December while a reckless endangerment charge was dropped last Friday, according to Queens prosecutors who were appointed to handle the politically explosive case in Nassau County court. “The charges were completely dismissed, I have been vindicated,” said Mejias, a divorce attorney with Glen Cove-based Mejias Milgrim & Alvarado, P.C. “The system works.” The 39-year-old Farmingdale resident was trying to unseat state Sen. Kemp Hannon (R-Garden City) when he was arrested. Francesca Carlow went on to win the Democratic primary after Mejias dropped out of the race. Hannon was re-elected in the general election. Oscar Michelen, Mejias’ Mineola-based defense attorney, said the charges were “blown out of proportion.” He said Mej...

Who is the Real David Mejias?   Attorney David Mejias knows first hand the struggles of life and the innate tenacity that helps people succeed. He was born to politically exiled Cuban parents, and their struggles of trying to rebuild their lives while instilling a sense of gratefulness and pride for the opportunities they were given as American citizens. David’s Cuban heritage made him the target of bullies throughout his life. These life long struggles made David conscious of the theory that all men are created equal and should not be judged lest they be judged themselves. After graduating from SUNY Albany for his bachelor studies, David gained entrance to the esteemed Fordham Law School; he graduated at the top of his class with exceptional accolades and went on to pass the New York State Bar examination and began working towards making a difference in the legal arena.

Long Island Business News hosted the Diversity in Business Awards to honor business leaders of diverse ethnicities, who have exemplified a leadership and commitment to increasing diversity in the business community on Long Island. Amongst the honorees was David Mejias, a family law attorney from Mejias, Milgrim & Alvarado, which is the only law firm on Long Island where every member of the firm is a minority. When David Mejias put out his shingle to practice law he found himself very much alone as he discovered much to his dismay that he was one of the very few lawyers on Long island who could speak conversational English to his Spanish speaking clients. Twenty years later the law firm of Mejias, Milgrim & Alvarado now employs a half dozen attorneys and five members of support staff all of whom happen to be women or minorities or both. For Mejias it is partly by design and partly his belief that minorities who have struggled to enter white collar professio...

As custody trials and appeals drag on, children often stay in situations that are not necessarily in their best interest. This is a point of frustration for attorneys who practice matrimonial and family law, such as David Mejias, a partner at Mejias Milgrim & Alvarado of Glen Cove and Hempstead. Mejias represented a father who was awarded majority custody of his son in 2015 after the boy missed an excessive amount of school while in his mother’s care. The child’s mother appealed, but the appellate division affirmed the original decision granting the father residential custody during the school year. However, while the appeal was pending, the boy continued to reside with his mother. “It took more than two years for the appeal to work its way through and that’s unfortunate,” Mejias said. “During those 2½ years the mother worked very hard to alienate the child from his father.” However, with the 2015 decision affirmed this year by the appellate court, the child w...
