I enjoy spending time with my daughter and watching her grow into an independent, smart little girl. I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to Mexico several times, Belize and a day trip into Guatemala to see the Mayan ruins at Tikal.. I have been fortunate enough to have Tara Narkon as my Legal Assistant/ Paralegal/Office Manager and more since June 2003.  She helps keep the office flowing and is a great help to me and my clients.. We were lucky to add another staff member, Lisa Michael, in late 2018 t to help streamline the personal injury cases and helm the front desk.
