I have been a practicing attorney for 23 years. I started my legal career as a prosecutor in the Bronx County District Attorney's Office. That experience was invaluable. I learned how to vigorously advocate for my clients. I have tried cases before Judges and juries.
After working as a prosecutor, I spent almost three years working side by side with a Judge. My title was Principal Court Attorney. I spent time doing legal research and drafted decisions and orders for the Judge on a variety of legal issues. I learned how to think like a Judge. If you have issues involving Family Law, Employment Law and Criminal Law, please contact me and I will be very happy to set up a meeting.
