I graduated first in my class from law school and thereafter clerked for a federal judge, joined the Washington office of a prestigious New York law firm and then became a federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia where I tried numerous criminal cases.  Thereafter I became general counsel to a New York Stock Exchange REIT, where I worked for 14 years.  I returned to law school at night, studying to become an estate planner and opened my own practice in 1998. I am a solo practitioner and enjoy helping my clients with their estate planning needs, which include trust preparation and administration and some estate tax planning.

I am the Managing Member of Hamelburg Law, and I have over 20 years of experience representing businesses, families and individuals. As a business lawyer, I advise clients on a broad variety of issues including start-up and choice of entity, employment, contractor and client agreements, operating agreements and bylaws, government certifications and contracts, business disputes, estate and succession planning, and debt collection. I also represent both lenders and borrowers in commercial loan transactions.. I have developed a particular focus serving small businesses and helping them with the myriad issues they face. In addition to more seasoned business owners, I've helped hundreds of entrepreneurs as they navigate the start-up process. I lead workshops for start-ups at The Maryland Women’s Business Center and was named its Volunteer of the Year in 2018. I'm also the past president of Women Business Owners of Montgomery County, and I have served on the steering committee for the region's largest business conference focused on women-owned businesses. My clients consider me as their trusted advisor, and I am recognized as a business leader throughout Maryland and the greater Washington, DC area.. In addition to my business law work, I also have a commercial real estate practice, where I draft and review lease agreements and handle landlord/tenant and other property disputes. I represent landlords ranging in size from large commercial property owners and managers to small store-fronts and one-unit residences, and I also counsel tenants in commercial and residential matters. I am the co-chair of the Real Estate section of the Montgomery County Bar Association. Since most business owners either own or lease commercial real estate, my dual focus on business law and commercial real estate enables me to provide efficient, effective, and practical legal counsel for my firm's clients.. I began my legal career by clerking for the Honorable Rudolph J. Gerber on the Arizona Court of Appeals. I then became an associate at McKenna & Cuneo (now Dentons), litigating before the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Her practice included complex contractual disputes arising from major federal procurements including the A-12 advanced tactical aircraft. I also served as Editor-In-Chief of The Government Contractor, a government contract law and policy publication of Thompson West.. My law degree is from The University of Michigan Law School and my undergraduate degree is from The State University of New York at Buffalo. I practice in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

I am an Associate at Press, Dozier & Hamelburg in Bethesda, Maryland. I am committed to providing quality legal work to meet the individualized needs of my clients. My experience with a variety of legal issues related to estate and trust planning, administration,  business governance and succession planning, and real estate allows me to bring nuanced and insightful perspective to each client's situation and provide comprehensive legal advice to individuals and small businesses.

A little more about me.  I am a third generation Washingtonian, my mother was born and raised in Northwest Washington, D.C., and my father in Northeast Washington, D.C.  My father's parents immigrated to America from Russia, but my mother's parents were born in Southeast Washington, D.C., where my grandmother was raised.. I have three daughters, one at Elon University in North Carolina, and two who still attend the Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School in Rockville, Maryland.  My wife is the Resource Counselor at Silver Creek Middel School in Kensington, Maryland.
