I graduated from Cornell University in 2013 and Wake Forest School of Law in 2016. I began my legal career at a boutique civil litigation firm in Charlotte, North Carolina. In this role, I gained experience in all facets of the litigation process including initial filings, arguing motions, crafting discovery strategies, trying cases, and negotiating settlements.
In 2019, I was admitted to the New York Bar and began advocating on behalf of disabled clients throughout the New York Metropolitan Region. My practice initially focused on Social Security Disability Insurance Appeals. I represented clients at over 150 hearings before Social Security Administrative Law Judges, obtaining favorable outcomes in over 90% of these cases. I also represented numerous municipal employees in their disability pension litigation cases
In 2021, I joined Riemer Hess where I currently represent clients in all aspects of the long-term disability insurance process including crafting exit strategies, filing initial claims, monitoring cases to secure ongoing benefits, and appealing unfavorable decisions.
