I concentrate my practice in Elder Law, which encompasses, but is not limited to, Estate and Trust Planning, Estate Administration, Asset Preservation and Protection, Disability and Special Needs Planning, Guardianship, and Medicaid.
Born and raised in Cranford, New Jersey, I earned my Undergraduate Honors Degree in Psychology at Seton Hall University and my Law Degree from Wake Forest University School of Law. At Wake Forest University School of Law, I was selected to partake in the Elder Law Clinic, which provides free legal services to low-income residents of Forsyth County, North Carolina. During my time in the Elder Law Clinic, I made it a priority to assist disenfranchised voters to obtain ID cards so that they could vote. At the Elder Law Clinic, I gained invaluable experience with the substantive laws affecting the elderly, including Guardianship and Medicaid.
Before and while attending law school, I worked in the elder care field for approximately seven years, holding various jobs at an Assisted Living Facility. I gained invaluable experience while working at the Assisted Living Facility, having been immersed in the day-to-day life of elders and their common problems and concerns. It was this experience that led me to devote his life to Elder Law.
I am a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and the Elder and Disability Law Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association.
