I have been a solo practitioner for the majority of my career and I practice several areas of law. For the most part I defend. I defend those accused of crimes, those being sued for civil reasons, those in foreclosure, and in some instances those who are being divorced. I have done closings on thousands of properties, and I have set up or consulted more than 100 LLC's and companies.. I grew up in the neighboring town of Ridgefield and I still keep in touch with many friends of over 30 years. I am close with my family and at the present I am single. I enjoy many outdoor hobbies and I restore classic cars and motorcycles in my spare time.. I have a real passion for what I do and can't imagine a career doing anything else.
