In 2012 I joined the staff of the Committee for Public Counsel Services, the Public Defender agency in Massachusetts.  I am a trial attorney in the Worcester CPCS Superior Court office.

I transitioned to divorce and family law after 15+ years working in accounting and operations for start-up technology companies. I strongly believe lawyers overlook the client experience and often force clients to work their way instead of the best way for the client. I try to look at everything from the client's perspective and try to make things as easy as possible for them.. I am a firm believer that the best way to resolve disputes is through direct communication with the other party. The court system should be the last resort, and I have no problem advising clients that they are better off handling an issue themselves if practical. I view the client relationship as a long-term collaboration rather than a quick money grab. I would much rather a client be completely confident in recommending our firm to a friend or come back years later when they do actually need a lawyer than feel taken advantage of.. I specialize in divorces with financial issues, whether high-income or net worth, family-owned businesses, real estate, retirement assets, or stock options and other equity compensation. All divorces have a range of issues though, so I am certainly not limited to financial cases by any means.. I understand that there is a lot at stake in every family law case, and every case is unique. I consider myself fortunate to be able to work with clients from all walks of life, and I love doing what I do because I know two days will never be the same.

After leaving police work after 23 1/2 years of service and prior to becoming an attorney I was also the senior global investigator for a fortune 500 company directing investigations in 228 locations worldwide.  2013 to 2017 I was chosen as rising star by Super lawyers along with several other awards from the American Institute of Criminal Law Attorneys..
