I began practicing law in 2010.  Since that time, I have helped many people get through difficult situations in their lives.   The legal system can be intimidating.  Especially if this is your first time dealing with it.  That’s where I come in.  I will explain everything to you in plain English and save the fancy lawyer talk for the courtroom.  The goal for our first meeting is to make you feel comfortable about knowing what stage you are at in the legal case and what your options are.  I have handled a wide variety of criminal charges.  If you look at the “Practice Areas” page of this website, you can see for yourself if I handled the same charge you face now.  Chances are that I have, or something just like it.

As far as legal licensing, I maintain licenses to practice law in New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Florida, and the U.S. District Court for the Middle District Court of Florida.  (The last one is a special federal jurisdiction.  There is a difference between state law and federal law.  I can explain it to you if you want to learn more.)

Education:
Florida Coastal School of Law; J.D. with honors.
Boston University; B.S. in Communications.
Oxford University; semester abroad.

An arrest is serious business.  It can affect your life for days, months, and even years.  Furthermore, it may impact those around you such as a spouse, child, or employer.  I help clients regain control of their lives and exercise their constitutional rights to the fullest extent possible in courts of law.  To create a good defense strategy, you should begin immediately because the State Attorney’s Office is already working on their side of the case.  Who is working on yours?

Concerning personal injury cases, I deal with a wide spectrum of fact patterns.  When someone first visits my office, they are often still in pain and surrounded by chaos.  Their vehicle is destroyed, so how will they get around?  Maybe their automobile insurance policy provides a rental vehicle, but maybe not.  What about finding the proper medical treatment and doctors?  Who specializes in that type of injury?  Will health insurance cover any of the costs?  I know the answers to these questions.  I provide you with the guidance needed during this period of uncertainty.  They call me a “legal counselor” for a reason.
