Guiding businesses and business owners on general and complex legal matters requires skill, knowledge, timing, and patience. So does fly fishing the tropical flats and the cold New England waters. As an attorney, I am an experienced advisor on many matters, including: mergers & acquisitions, contracts, negotiations, licenses, international transactions, business partner disputes, succession & estate planning, tax, and real estate transactions. If you would like to talk about fly fishing, I am also passionate about striped bass, tarpon, bonefish and snook (among others). Sharing stories and opportunities for either are always welcomed and interesting conversations. After viewing the experiences and demands of my family’s manufacturing business first-hand, I attended business school at Bryant University, studying family business management. I have also studied international business in Florence, Italy. Prior to attending law school I was a business consultant with a computer technology firm, advising business owners on how to effectively leverage new technologies to solve real business problems. All of these experiences have cultivated a practical, solution-based approach that I bring to each matter that comes before me.. As an advisor I am a problem solver and a deal advisor. I lean upon my business and legal backgrounds to understand my client’s business or personal needs and goals, and to focus on practical solutions that fit those needs, the matter, and the economics involved. Through this approach I have had the pleasure of assisting various clients achieve positive results such as:. I attended law school at the University of Connecticut School of Law where I was a member of the Insurance Law Journal and was published as a case editor for “Fidelity & Surety Digest,” which focuses on construction and financial services bonding requirements. I have also engaged in various pro bono activities including as a volunteer attorney with the Connecticut Urban Legal Initiative, Inc. and as a member of the board at New Life Christian Fellowship of Connecticut, Inc.. I currently live just outside of Hartford, Connecticut with my wife and four children. When I am not in the office I am often exhausted by my kids while playing, trying to play golf, making furniture, or engaging in any activity that presents a challenge to overcome.

I Focus on clients and their issues in a practical and goal oriented way. I aim for a particular outcome based on what the client requires. Sometimes that’s money. Sometimes it’s “other”, like a town approval or a tenant out of their unit.. My goal is always to resolve matters to my client's full satisfaction in a timely manner, within the bounds of what the law allows. Whether that is through negotiation, or litgation, or some other alternative, I have the experience to guide my clients to successful resolutions of their matters, or to connect them with other professionals who can do so. As a (relatively) young and social lawyer, I am active in the community and have developed a network of trusted, qualified legal professionals (lawyers, outside paralegals, legal advisors) who handle matters that I do not. I also have a deep network of other professionals like realtors, banks, accountants, investment advisors, non traditional funders, mortgage originators, inspectors, surveyors and environmental consultants that I work with on a regular basis who treat my clients respectfully. These personal relationships make a big difference in cost, quality, and outcome.. I also have the wonderful asset of working with my father and his 50 plus years of experience, so when I have a question, I can always consult with him. I hope to continue the tradition of excelence that my father has delivered for over half a century.. Lastly, I am deeply committed to my City, New Haven. (I love Connecticut and all it’s towns and cities too but New Haven is my #1) I have lived here for 38 years and have no intention of ever leaving. Through the zoning work I do I want to shape the physical future of New Haven for the better. Particularly, I support responsible development without unnecessary oversight or interference by anyone or anything that shouldn’t get the opportunity to erect barriers in the way of someone trying to better this City. I support the vested rights of land owners and the logical extension of those deeply important rights; development, full use, minimal interference, and so much more.. I have learned that much of being good at a job, any job, is having the personal connections with all the people that influence the outcome of a matter.  At this point in my career, I think I have those relationships in place and have earned the trust from the people I interact with regularly. I aim to grow these relationships every time I meet someone new and I think it’s working. I have contact with true decision makers in government and politics and use those relationships to the benefit of my clients without apology. I maintain these relationships in a deeply honorable and appropriate way in full compliance with legal requirements and ethical standards. But I think my honesty and openness with those in “power” makes me a credible and believable partner and I expect the same honesty and integrity from my clients.
