As a law student, I served as an Editor on the Touro Law Review, spent a great deal of my time serving as a Research and Teaching Assistant to my Criminal Procedure Professor, and received the CALI award for academic excellence in Advanced Legal Research and Writing.. I went on to practice in New York and Connecticut, representing clients in civil litigation, criminal defense, and personal injury cases. I formerly acted as Lead Attorney in the Title Claims & Tax Department of an East Coast mortgage banking firm representing lenders, trustees, and investors, and handled a high-volume civil caseload. I left civil practice and joined a small firm in Connecticut where I handled a vast range of cases including, but not limited to, sexual assault, assault, harassment and stalking, larceny, burglary and robbery, driving under the influence, drug possession and sale, domestic violence and criminal mischief. I also successfully represented plaintiffs and claimants in motor vehicle accident and personal injury matters and effectively assisted clients with the pardons application process presenting to the Connecticut Board of Pardons resulting in expungement of criminal records.. While licensed in Washington, New York and Connecticut, I currently reside and practice only in Washington, representing clients in Westwood Pacific's main practice areas: litigation, bankruptcy and restructuring, business, real estate, probate, estate planning, and family law..
