I have been in private practice for over twenty years and I concentrate in the areas of criminal defense and family law. Prior to my private practice I was an Assistant District Attorney with the Westchester County District Attorney's Office.. I take great pride in my commitment to my clients and the fact that I treat every case as if it is my only case. It is extremely important to me that my clients have complete confidence in me not only as their attorney but also as someone who is genuinely concerned for their best interests and who treats them with compassion and respect.. In all of my cases I always make sure that my clients understand every aspect of their case, that they are kept informed and up to date and most importantly, that they know that I am zealously and relentlessly protecting their legal rights and interests at all times.
