I am the Founder & CEO of Tonalaw. I have over 30 years of experience as a New York State trial attorney, with a career concentration in Plaintiff’s Personal Injury & No-Fault Collections. For the last 24 years, I have deicated myself to "Fighting for Injured New Yorkers and the Healthcare Providers Who Treat Them". My firm handles high-stakes Personal Injury cases involving traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death, catastrophic injuries, falls, trucking accidents, and automobile accidents.

For over three decades my goal has been to help my clients navigate through the most difficult times in their lives and make sure they have a safe landing when the next stage of their new life begins.. Although I am a true general practitioner attorney with a diverse practice in many areas of the law, I am a compassionate and aggressive family law and divorce attorney.. I work tirelessley on behalf of my clients and I personally guide them through every step of the process on their matter.. I provide experienced legal representation in the areas of:.

Even before becoming an attorney I spent my career serving the public. Working in constituent relations for a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, I handled a myriad of cases in a number of different fields, including Immigration and Veterans Affairs.. While working full time, I obtained two degrees from St. John’s University, a Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies and a Juris Doctorate. Before graduating summa cum laude from St. John’s University’s undergraduate program, I captained the University’s trial competition team, helping our coaches lead us through a number of trial competitions. Afterwards, I attended St. John’s University School of Law, and served as the Executive Director on the board of the Polestino Trial Advocacy Institute. During my time as a member of the Polestino Trial Advocacy Institute, I competed in a number of trial competitions, placing in most of them, including the John Marshall Law School/American Bar Association Criminal Justice Trial Competition, where my team ranked second.. After graduating from St. John’s University School of Law, I became a prosecutor in Queens County under the Honorable Richard A. Brown. During my tenure as a prosecutor, I investigated and prosecuted numerous cases, ranging from misdemeanors to serious felony offenses. By handling these cases I gained valuable experience, often receiving the cases immediately after arraignment and handling them to their conclusions.. Throughout my career, I have helped people through some of the worst tragedies of their lives. This experience allows me to understand the difficulties that my clients face, and gives me the ability to handle each and every case with the compassion and dedication that I know my clients expect and deserve..
