A change of scenery called after high school, so picking up roots, I settled in New York where I graduated from business school and law school with high Latin honors. While attending law school I gained hands on training and experience as a student attorney. This gave me exposure to civil, criminal procedure, regulatory and administrative law. How does this hielp my clients? It gives me an edge that I use to secure the best possible outcome for my client’s legal issues.
I have had the privilege to train under, work with, and learn from the best attorneys in the field. I have worked on a multitude of difficult and challenging matters that require handcrafted defenses, dedication, and superior patience and negotiation skills.
I enjoy solving my client’s problems and saving them time and money. My clients are always happy with my customer service, certitude, and results. Call me today for a free consultation. I will answer all of your questions and, even if you choose not hire my law firm, you will come away with valuable knowledge about your case, various options and their consequences.
