After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Albany Law School I clerked for two years in the Northern District of New York for the Honorable Randolph F. Treece, U.S. Magistrate Judge.  Since leaving my clerkship I have worked at Girvin & Ferlazzo where my practice is focused on civil litigation, personal injury, medical malpractice, and nursing home neglect and abuse cases.. My passion for the law is eclipsed only by my passion for helping people who have been injured or wronged.    Sadly, I cannot restore an injured client's health, take away the pain and suffering they have endured, or give them back the time they have lost with loved ones.  What I can do, is make sure that those who are responsible are taken to task, and that they are made to feel the full weight and measure of the law.  Although a monetary award can never make a person whole, it can help to restore their dignity, get their lives back on track, and ensure that those responsible mend their ways.
