Stay away.

We hired this attorney to handle an action against a builder doing construction at an adjacent property who entered our fenced in backyard and made changes to our property without our permission when nobody was home. In short, this lawyer's communications and judgment were very poor. She was terrible... with follow-up, dropped the ball when there was an opportunity to settle the case, failed to return phone calls and emails for over a month after she blew the first settlement offer, and after the defendant did not appear in court for the scheduled hearing before the Civil court judge she failed to file for a judgement as she was supposed to and promised. The disregard, discourtesy, and incompetence of this lawyer were as bad and even more frustrating than the offending actions of the builder who trespassed and made a mess of our property in the first place. Stay away.

Experience

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2008.

Reciprocal - Discipline issued in NY, 2008

updated on 07/31/2013

This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in New York.

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2002

updated on 12/11/2014

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Education
