About me
I take pride in not only providing the best legal representation for all of my clients, but also in getting to know them on a personal level and creating more than just a basic “attorney-client” relationship. Whatever type of legal matter you need assistance with, it is undoubtedly a personal matter to you, which makes it personal for me, too.
In a relatively short period of time I have established a reputation in the Hudson Valley legal community as an honest, effective and civil advocate for his clients. My knowledge and experience in DWI Defense has provided me with multiple opportunities to lecture at various Continuing Legal Education events where I instruct and advises other practicing attorneys in the art and science of DWI Defense.
