I grew up in New England and I love our community. I became a lawyer over 30 years ago to help people and since then I am honored to have businesses, families and municipalities choose me to represent them in negotiations, ligitation and mediation, in addition to being a trusted counselor and friend. My job is different every day and I love it.
