Today would have been my dad’s 103rd birthday. I went online to see if there was anything I could find about Nathaniel Taylor and I found a bio of Mike Ostrow, who started as my father’s law clerk and took over his matrimonial practice when my dad retired. Mike Ostrow “has built a remarkable reputation for both the depth of his legal skills and his sensitivity toward clients…Ostrow said it was ‘happenstance’ that led to his joining a small Long Island firm; it was in that venue that Ostrow worked with Nathaniel Taylor, the longtime dean and icon of Long Island divorce law. By the 1970s the firm of Taylor, Atkins & Ostrow was the first name in the field.
When my dad died, they closed all the courthouses in Nassau County, Long Island, for a half a day in his honor. A past president of the Nassau County Bar Association, this is what appeared in their Newsletter, March 1983.
