I have been fighting for the rights of those accused of crimes for the past fifteen years.  I graduated from Northeastern University School of Law in 1997, and went to work in the Staff Attorney's Office at the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, where I worked on both civil and criminal appeals.  I then joined the prestigious Boston law firm of Stern, Shapiro, Weissberg & Garin, LLP, where I practiced criminal defense and civil litigation.  After a decade, I decided that the best way for me to represent my clients with the passion and determination each client deserves was to open my own law practice.  Although criminal defense is the majority of my practice, I also bring that same passion, commitment , and expertise to employment law and personal injury litigation.

I am passionate about the law and advancing justice. My strengths include:. • Persuasive and strong negotiating skills with superb written communications abillities.• Analytical, resourceful and fervent in representing and protecting clients’ interests while adhering to high moral and ethical standards and practices.• Diversified legal background with thirty-five years of experience representing corporate and individual clients.• Proficient in business, real estate, construction, contract and personal injury litigation in both State and Federal Courts.• Experienced in acquisition, development and management of various real estate and business entities.• Proven history of successfully tried and/or negotiated hundreds of cases.• Skilled at building effective, working relationships through the successful management of clients and staff.

I have also tried probably just as many cases as lead counsel before judges, arbitrators and State Agency Commissioners (MCAD).
