My initial career with Workers' Compensation began before law school at the receptionist desk. I felt it was important to take time off and make sure I had some beginner's legal experience at a Workers' Compensation firm. I went on to graduate Cum Laude from Thomas M. Cooley Law School and was admitted to the NYS Bar in June of 2011.. Since 2011 I have grown my career as an attorney working on Workers' Compensation and Social Security Disability claims.. I understand how difficult living with an injury can be, not only to the client, but also to the family. I will always be there to answer any and all questions, as well as meet with you and your family to address any concerns that you may have. I have two children of my own and understand how an injury may cause additional stress on the family. As I have my own family and pay my own bills I understand how important it is to live check by check and what an injury can do to jeopardize what you have worked so hard to obtain.. My goal is to try to take as much as the legal headache out of the process so that you may concentrate on getting better and moving forward with your life. While professional, I still provide a personal touch to make you feel that no question is too small and we can take as much time as you need to understand every aspect of your case.. I truly honor myself to be able to represent those that just wanted to go to work, perform their job duties and come home to their family but instead suffered a work injury. I understand it was not what they had wanted and therefore it is my duty to explain, zealously represent and obtain every benefit an injured person may be entitled to under the Law.  If you would like a free legal consultation, please contact the office at.
