Over the years I have received many awards and recognitions for exceptional service, client satisfaction and highest ethical standards. The Legal Network has recognized me as “Top Lawyers in New Jersey” several years in a row. I have been invited to join elite Top 100 National Trial Lawyers due to strong qualifications as TOP civil/criminal defense trial lawyers. I was nominated as one of the "10 Best" attorneys in NJ by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys. Recently, I was honored to receive a prestigious KEAN University Award for Outstanding Services.
I started my own law practice right after graduating from Seton Hall Law in September 1996 and practiced law ever since. I have successfully represented thousands of satisfied clients, where clients are the center of my attention. You can always count on personal approach and close attention to your case. The success of your case is my main goal, and I always strive to achieve it. If you’re looking for aggressive and diligent legal representation, you have found the right place.
Also, currently I'm enjoying the responsibility of serving and representing the interests of over 45,000 residents of Bridgewater Township community as a Council President. Providing quality services and protecting people's interests is the mission of my life. My key to success is a keen focus on details and getting the job done expeditiously, second to none, where my expertise is my main tool.
