I graduated from Westfield High School and then attended the Williston Northampton School in Easthampton, MA as a post-graduate. I continued on to Trinity College in Hartford, CT where I received  a bachelor’s degree in Political Science.. Following in the footsteps of two of my older brothers, I attended the Western New England University School of Law in Springfield, MA.  I  graduated from law school in 1993.. During my last year of law school I was asked by the Hampden County District Attorney to become a “3:03” prosecutor, which allowed me to actually prosecute criminal trials even before graduating from law school.  I conducted approximately 30 criminal trials before graduating from law school.. After graduating and passing the bar exam (yes, I passed it on the first attempt), I became a full-time prosecutor in the Hampden County District Attorney’s office, in order to get as much jury trial experience as I could before going into private practice.. I engaged in approximately 100 trials and other criminal litigation hearings as a prosecutor, mostly in the Holyoke District Court.. In 1994, I went into private practice with a small firm in Springfield, MA..

"As a former big-city prosecutor in Boston and DC, and as a Boston cop, I have experience and knowledge that is not possessed by even the most seasoned criminal defense lawyers.  In addition to my time spent in the criminal law field, I worked for almost two years at a major law firm handling complex civil litigation defending insurance companies, doctors, and lawyers in malpractice law suits.  Let me put that experience to work for you!!!  No matter what criminal charge you are facing, meet with me for free consultation and case evaluation and DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF HIRING AN INEXPERIENCED ATTORNEY!!!  Chances are I have investigated, prosecuted, AND defended the charge that you are facing.  In other words, I will know how to build the most effective defense and rip apart the prosecution’s case.  For an example of what sets me apart from other lawyers, would you rather hire an attorney who has read about defending an OUI charge in a book, or would you rather hire an attorney who was CERTIFIED in the administration of Standard Field Sobriety Testing as a Police Officer and has actually performed them out on the street?. My practice is 100% devoted to criminal and OUI defense (alcohol and/or drugs).  With me in your corner, I'll promise to make smart and effective tactical decisions, to fight tirelessly for you, and to be a persuasive advocate on your behalf.  Don't be intimidated by the charges you’re facing - pick up the phone and call me."
