Executive Director

SIDNEY SILLER is an attorney and counsellor-at-law, in the firm of SIDNEY SILLER, and a trial lawyer majoring in matrimonial and family law.

Siller is also a crusader, following many avenues of social justice that go above and beyond his enviable trial record over the past 49 years.

A leader by nature, he was instrumental in the formation of the NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR FAIR DIVORCE AND ALIMONY LAWS, and currently is considered a political analyst, columnist, and scholar regarding politics.

As a result of his leadership, the Committee inaugurated a bold attack upon the antiquated and unjust alimony and divorce laws of the State of New York.

Siller, in conjunction with grass roots movements in that direction, successfully achieved the passage of New York State's Divorce Reform Bill in April, 1966.

This landmark legislation, among other provisions, created five additional grounds for divorce. Mr. Siller and the Committee have continued their militant efforts in both the Legislature and the Courts to bring about further necessary reforms of the New York State matrimonial and family law.

The New York Daily News and the New York Times have editorially endorsed and praised the goals and activities of the Committee and Mr. Siller. He has often appeared as a guest on radio and television programs and has had extensive exposure in the local and national press in connection with his views.

He was a regular columnist for PENTHOUSE MAGAZINE for fifteen (15) years, writing the first column on Men's Rights in the world. Penthouse has more than 9 million readers.

In 1983, Mr. Siller founded the NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MEN, which project has endured.

He is the Past Sr. State Commander of the Disabled American Veterans. As a former elected national officer and National Legislative Chairman for the Disabled American Veterans during the 88th Congress, he had unusually broad experiences in the drafting and sponsoring of the legislation on behalf of America's wartime disabled.

SIDNEY SILLER, born in Bronx County, New York, served in World War II with the 48th Field Artillery Battalion, as Sergeant Major, Infantry Division, Pacific Theater of Operations and later with U.S. Army Military Government in Korea.

He is a graduate of Brooklyn College, Brooklyn Law School, and attended N.Y. University's Graduate Division of Public Administration, and was selected for "Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities". He is presently the Executive Director of the New York Criminal and Civil Courts Bar Association.

On matrimonial cases he has achieved the near impossible - equally representing the distaff side of the State's courtrooms while championing the causes of male clients often locked in by antiquated laws.

His success in various matrimonial landmark cases, has resulted in referrals from civil rights organizations that recognize him as one of the leaders in this specialized field.
