As a seasoned attorney with eighteen years of legal experience, I am comfortable in the courtroom and the boardroom.  I became an attorney in order to help people and to bring quality, affordable legal representation to individuals and businesses alike.  Everyone deserves a zealous advocate who is willing to fight relentlessly to achieve the best results for their circumstances.  I will be that advocate for you.. I am a native New Yorker, born in Brooklyn.  I attended the City University of New York’s John Jay College for undergraduate studies and I graduated from the University of Baltimore School of Law in May, 1997.  After law school I clerked for the Honorable Bonita J. Dancy at the Circuit Court for Baltimore City before joining the State of Maryland Office of the Public Defender in September, 1998.  At the Public Defender’s office I represented hundreds of indigent juveniles and adults charged with criminal offenses ranging from DUI and other traffic offenses to robbery, carjacking and murder.. After leaving the Public Defender’s office, I entered the private practice of law where I handled white-collar criminal defense and personal injury cases, including excessive force cases filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.  While in private practice I represented one of the first individuals charged with a criminal offense in connection with the theft of millions of dollars by officials of the Baltimore City Public Schools.. I joined the Baltimore City Solicitor’s Office in 2004.  There I litigated complex civil matters in the local and federal courts, including construction negligence and police excessive force cases.  While employed at the Solicitor’s office, I served as a Board Assistant on the Maryland State Board of Law Examiners where I actually wrote the Bar Exam.  From 2005 – 2008, I wrote essay questions which appeared on the Maryland Bar Examination and the Practicing Attorney’s Bar Examination.  I also assisted in crafting the Board’s analysis of the answers to bar essay questions and graded completed exams.. After leaving the Baltimore City Solicitor’s office, I served as an Assistant Attorney General in the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia.  In that capacity I litigated complex employment discrimination and constitutional claims in defense of the District of Columbia government.  I was promoted to Chief of Civil Litigation Section II at the Office of the Attorney General in 2011 and held that position until September of 2015.  I managed a team of up to eleven attorneys, four paralegals, and an administrative assistant and supervised over two hundred cases, including complex employment discrimination matters, whistleblower protection act cases, police excessive force cases, Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act cases, and other constitutional matters.. In addition to teaching a course where I help law school graduates acquire the skills needed to pass the Maryland Bar Exam, I have taught at the National Association of Attorney’s General Training and Research Institute and a Trial Advocacy course at Georgetown Law School for the National Institute for Trial Advocacy.. “Mere access to the courthouse doors does not, by itself, assure a proper functioning of the adversary process.” –Thurgood Marshall. I believe everyone is entitled to the highest level of legal representation possible.  I believe in fighting for my clients to achieve their desired results.  And I believe in serving my clients to the best of my ability.  Do not attempt to access the courthouse doors without proper legal representation.

After service in the United States Navy during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, I went to law school in the Middle West and then returned to Washington, D.C. to practice communications law.  Leaving the technical side of that field, I focused on libel and defamation law and public employee rights to report wrongdoing in the workplace.  Our Federal employees caretaking the environment were my primary focus through to 2004.  I then returned to Federal service to set up the modern whistleblowing programs for the Defense Department and the Intelligence Community.  The work was exhilarating.  My skills in Federal Employment Law were honed and I picked up new insights as a National Security lawyer focused on oversighting of the security clearance adjudication process, 2004 to 2018. In 2018, I returned to private practice on Connecticut Avenue, using the experience of the previous quarter century to continue helping our Federal workers.

Let me tell you a little bit about me, my experience and my areas of expertise.. I went to the Cornell Law School and have over thirty years’ experience representing individuals, workers and unions in federal and local trial and appellate courts throughout the country. I am committed to representing the interests and rights of employees and injured individuals.  I have extensive jury trial experience.  In addition to the District of Columbia, I have tried cases throughout the country, from San Diego to Seattle, Tennessee to Maryland, and in Richmond and Alexandria, Virginia.  I am a member of the Board of Governors of the Trial Lawyers Association of Metropolitan Washington, D.C.. Having been a trial attorney for a major labor union for nine years and then a partner in a labor law firm for another nine years, I have considerable experience in employment law, including wrongful discharge, sex, race, and other forms of discrimination, labor law, employee benefits, “whistleblower” cases, individual employment contracts, non-compete agreements and severance benefits.. As one example of my trial experience, in March 1999, after an eleven day trial, a jury in Oakland California awarded a young airline pilot I represented, Kathleen Betts, over $1.5 million in a sex discrimination and defamation case against United Airlines. Betts v. United Airlines, Inc., Dkt. 97-4329 (U.S. Dist. Ct., N.D. Ca.); see also, 246 F.3d 672, 2000 WL 1728077 (9th Cir. 2000).. Over the last fifteen years I have also developed expertise in toxic tort and other complex personal injury cases, especially childhood and workplace lead poisoning cases.  I have recovered well over $12 million on behalf of lead poisoned children.. In April 2000, a jury awarded a lead poisoned child and his mother whom I represented, $1.6 million after an eight day trial in the District of Columbia Superior Court.  Gomez v. Atlantic Realty, Civ. 97-1151 (D.C. Sup. Ct.).  That is still the largest verdict and recovery for a lead poisoned child in the District of Columbia.  As the parent of a disabled son, I have a unique understanding of what it means to have a disabled child and a special passion for representing injured or disabled children in lead poisoning and other types of cases.. In another case, I represented a group of people forced from their homes by a gasoline spill from a gas station that resulted in a multimillion dollar settlement in 2002.  In 2003, I settled a premises liability case for almost $2 million.   Of course, I have also represented persons in more commonplace personal injury cases, such as car accidents, slip and fall cases, assaults, and so on.  There is no cost to you to retain me—I only earn my fee, if I produce results for you.. I started as a litigation and trial attorney on the staff of the Air Line Pilots Association, the largest pilots' union, for nine years.  After that I joined a small union-side labor law firm in Washington, D.C. and was there for another nine years, becoming a partner there.  I then joined the law firm of Koonz, McKenney, Johnson, DePaolis & Lightfoot, one of the top personal injury firms in the area, and spent five years with that firm.  In 2004 I decided to strike out on my own and open my own law office where I continue to represent injured workers, children and other persons with personal attention, skill and dedication.. I am a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, spent three years in the Army during the Vietnam Era, was honorably discharged, and earned my law degree from the Cornell Law School. My wife of twenty-three years, Lynne, much my better half, I and our two adopted children, Stephen, who has cerebral palsy, and Alyssa, live in Arlington, Virginia.
