Legal problems can feel overwhelming, especially when they involve your home, your finances, your reputation, or your ability to move forward. My goal is to help clients understand what is happening, what choices they have, and how to respond with a clear plan.
I bring experience from both sides of the courtroom, including prosecution, defense, complex civil litigation, mass torts, civil RICO matters, public interest legal work, and legal technology. That range of experience shaped the way I practice now: practical, direct, and focused on helping people protect their rights.
Today, my work centers on housing, consumer protection, debt-related disputes, civil litigation, and access to justice. I believe clients should not feel lost in their own cases. I work to explain the process clearly, identify realistic paths forward, and resolve disputes efficiently where possible.
Not every case needs a war. But when someone is acting unfairly, unlawfully, or in bad faith, the response should be focused, prepared, and firm.
Outside of law, I am also a dog person — which means I understand loyalty, patience, persistence, and the occasional need to bark when someone crosses a line.
