I received my Juris Doctorate degree from the New England School of Law in 2003, and my Bachelor of Science degree in Management from the University of Massachusetts Boston, with a concentration in Finance in 1999.. At the New England School of Law I was recognized as a New England Scholar and a recipient of the New England School of Law Service Award. I assisted students as a Legal Research Advisor and volunteer as a judge for Moot Court, both as part of the legal writing program.. Additionally, while at the New England School of Law, I served on the executive board of the New England Journal of Criminal and Civil Confinement as the Managing Business Editor. As the Managing Business Editor, I oversaw the Journal’s Confinement Outreach Program and its 2003 symposium: Offender Sentencing and Re-entry: Changing Policies for Times of Budget Restraint.. I am admitted to practice before the Massachusetts State Courts and the Federal District Court for Massachusetts, including the Bankruptcy Court. I also served on my town's Zoning Board of Appeals. My legal experience includes handling matters involving family law, debtor and creditor rights, product liability, consumer protection, and general litigation.. __. CAUTION -- this site's "rating system" is based on criteria that Avvo believes to be important and by assigning values to those criteria. In my opinion, the qualities that make a good lawyer are difficult to quantify. I do not endorse their system or ratings. If you need a lawyer, talk to friends and acquaintances whose opinion you trust.

My firm provides industry-expert, outside counsel services to new and emerging businesses.   My differentiator is an extremely quick turnaround (generally less than twenty-four hours) of accurate, high quality agreements.  As a result of my extensive knowledge (25+ years) of technologies, industries, solutions, channels and customers, I am able to quickly and effectively interpret and translate business terms into legal terms and conditions.   I am also able to comfortably engage in discussions and negotiations with business and legal leads from both customers and partners.. As I am experienced at providing "sole" counsel services to businesses that are in the early stages of customer engagement, product delivery and infrastructure development, I can help companies grow while maintaining their cost/budget structure.   As an example, the cost of a non-burdened, sole practitioner  such as myself is far lower than what a company generally pays for a full-time, in house headcount or partner/associates from venture-backed, high priced law firms.    The company also receives my services each and every time; the firms, conversely, will engage an associate or junior attorney with limited experience.  The results generally do not meet the company's needs as time to market (closing sales deals) and costs are critical to startups.
