I'm a veteran of the U.S. Navy and a former Law Professor. I'm also politically active as I ran an unsuccessful bid for City Commissioner for District 6 in Orlando, FL. In my free time I enjoy gardening, exercising and spending time with family.

I was born and raised in Middletown, New York. In 1982 I was admittedto the Florida Bar, and I have been authorized to practice before District Court of the Middle District of Florida since 1983 andbefore the US. Court of Appeals since 1985. I received my B.A. (withhonors) in 1973 and my Ph.D. in 1977 from State University of New Yorkat Binghamton. In 1982 I received my J.D from Cornell University. I wasan editor of the Cornell Law Review and am the author of a book andnumerous articles. After practicing law with many prestigious law firms in Central FloridaI opened my own law firm in 1998. I made the decision to open my ownfirm so that I would have unfettered ability to provide clients withthe level of representation and customer care that I believe eachclient is entitled to.

I have been practicing exclusively in the area of Family Law and Domestic Relations for my entire career.  After graduating from the University of Denver law school, I accepted a fellowship position with the Eighteenth Judicial District in Colorado working exclusively in Family Law and Domestic Relations with the Honorable Judge Angela R. Arkin. The fellowship experience allowed me to see the judges’ perspective and how judges dealt with and analyzed issues. Working closely with judges taught me that good advocacy, preparation, and aggressive representation is very important to reach resolutions in or out of the courtroom.. I believe strongly that family law attorneys must do everything they can to minimize the emotional turmoil that divorcing families go through. Divorce is a difficult thing and if you have to go through with it, then you deserve the right attorney by your side. I approach each Client’s case as the completely unique situation that it is. Sensitivity and understanding sometimes resolve family law matters without the need of the court’s involvement; however, in other circumstances, the case calls for aggressive and persistent advocacy.

Through my legal education, experience, and litigation skills, I look forward to successfully helping you through the complicated legal system while making sure that your integrity and peace of mind remain intact.

I presently practice in the areas of insurance coverage, SIU, property coverage and liability claims, auto liability and bad faith litigation.

I believe that no case is too small and that justice can be achieved in our legal system with the right strategy and determination. I enjoy fighting on behalf of clients' rights. I approach every legal matter with the policy of making sure my clients are infomred as possible by having effective communication channels.
