When I was nine my aunt told me I should be a lawyer when I grew up because I argued about everything, really, really well. That's when I learned I could make a living doing what I loved: winning arguments. After graduating from Columbia University, New York City's only Ivy League school I went on to Fordham Law. Fordham was the only law school ranked in the top twenty-five nationwide that offered a night program in New York. Since I was working full time to pay my own way, Fordham's top tier night division was perfect for me.. After two years working at different firms, gaining experience in multiple areas of legal practice I hit the mother lode. I got a full time job working for one of the best litigators in New York City (which made him one of the best in the country). Over the next six years, this incredible lawyer, who became my friend and mentor, taught me how to be the best litigator I could be. Since then I've used the foundation he helped me build to hone my skills as a counselor and advocate. Whether counseling clients, arguing motions and appeals or, persuading a jury to find in my client's favor at trial, I've spent the next two decades becoming a top tier litigation attorney. Now, I put those skills and experience to work for individuals, businesses and other organizations in state and federal courts throughout New York state. And I can do the same for you.
