Everyone should be able to afford justice. As a teacher for disadvantaged teens in Baltimore, it was clear to me that the lack of affordable legal representation is a problem for so many who seek a fair outcome in court. Making sure that everyone’s rights are honored, regardless of income, has always been my goal as an attorney. Starting with my work as a law student with University of Maryland’s JustAdvice Clinic, to volunteering with Legal Aid, to fighting for the rights of victims as an attorney for the nonprofit, SALI (Sexual Assault Legal Institute), I have represented clients in a variety of legal matters. Divorce, custody, peace/protective orders, immigration, housing, crime victim representation, employment law, and Title IX cases, are just some of the areas where I have successfully stood for my clients in court.. Over the years, it became obvious to me that non-profits cannot possibly fill the growing need for attorneys for those whose income is above the income and case-type thresholds for “free” help. If you need a qualified lawyer who will represent you at a price that the fancy, high-overhead firms can’t match, you are the person that I had in mind when I built this practice.. You don’t have to fight the system alone.

Born into a family of lawyers and business owners, I am cognizant of the legal needs of business owners. Our goal is to avoid unnecessary legal expense, while defending our client and maximizing business advantage. Lawyers are a necessary but expensive component of any successful business. From formation to business development to conflict resolution, we provide counsel. The sooner we become involved, the more efficient we can be. Court is expensive; avoid it by careful planning; if you end up there, prepare to win; only then, might a worthy settlement arise.. The same is true with your personal life.

Plan ahead, seek counsel, spend less in planning to avoid major costs in defending or prosecuting claims.. Over my thirty plus years, I have represented small, mid-size, national, and international companies providing services and manufacturing goods. This involves corporate governance, contract negotiation, mergers and acquisitions, litigation in federal and state courts, appeals, arbitration, mediation, and even emergency injunctive relief when necessary by obtaining a temporary restraining order. I have dealt with government agencies at the local, county, state, and federal levels.. Additionally, I have helped the men and women who run those businesses in their personal and family matters. This includes wills, trusts, adoptions, guardianship, divorces, and the many trials and tribulations we all go through.. We have been helping people since my grandfather was fired from the U. S.
