Where It All Began

Before starting my own law firm, I worked for law firms in New York City. I represented people and businesses in lawsuits in court. Other clients needed help with legal issues for themselves or their businesses that didn’t involve a lawsuit. Some of my favorite clients were young families and small business owners and working with them inspired me to start my own law firm in 2011.

What I Learned

Starting my own business helped me understand the challenges and opportunities that confront business owners at all stages of their entrepreneurial journeys. I was immediately amazed at the creative and innovative ways that these businesses worked with their customers. I quickly learned that the heart of a small business is constantly learning and adapting to the changing markets we all operate in.

My business grew and expanded with my clients. Together, we were able to explore new and innovative ways to move our businesses forward. For some clients, their business reached its zenith and it was time to plan for the future or, in some cases, divest their interest or dissolve their partnership so they can pursue new business opportunities.

Why Do I Practice Law?

Years ago, I saw the importance of estate planning when my grandfather left money for our family in a trust for our education. It allowed me to go to school, but it also left a legacy of the importance that my grandfather placed upon education for his family. At the time, I thought “trust funds” were just for the ultra-rich children who ended up in the newspaper gossip pages. But I learned that anyone can set up an estate plan to ensure that they can leave a legacy for their family long after they are gone. More importantly, I learned that the process doesn’t have to be complex and intimidating and I strive to pass that message on to my clients.

Who Are My Clients

Running these businesses are people who are passionate and have other legal needs. For those individuals, I have represented them in real estate transactions, trust agreements, estate planning (wills and healthcare documents), and other legal arrangements to plan for their futures.

What I Do When I Am Not In The Office

When not practicing law, I’m an avid soccer fan and music lover who enjoys playing tennis and exploring my untapped potential as an amateur chef. Each day, I try to wind down by reading and I am always on the lookout for a good book to read next. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them!
