My main areas of practice are family law and civil litigation, although I also have considerable experience in First Amendment issues, particularly those that relate to the rights of the media. I have an interest in family law issues as they relate to members of the GLBT community, as well. My practice involves both litigation and appellate practice.
I am licensed to practice in Pennsylvania, the United Stated District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
On a personal note, I moved to Pittsburgh in 2009 and fell in love with it. I enjoy spending time exploring the city and attending cultural events such as theatre shows, Pirates games, and festivals like Pride and the Italian Festival.
