    I help cannabis entrepreneurs grow their businesses by navigating state and local requirements. Whether its license applications, equity applications, compliance, or zoning problems, we handle the legal issues, so they can focus on their business.

I am a driven civil litigation attorney. I primarily practice environmental, administrative, municipal, zoning, and land-use law. I also have experience in labor and employment law. I counsel individuals, businesses, and municipalities, and help them resolve their legal issues by educating, advising, and, if necessary, litigating on their behalf.


I am passionate about my work, and am committed to providing excellent representation for my clients. I am currently admitted to practice law in New York, Ohio, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, the United States District Court for the Western District of New York, the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
