With enough experience behind me to have earned a reputation as a winning litigator, and enough professional life ahead of me to continue to grow, I am at the peak of my career. My clients, partners, peers, and even opposing counsel regard me for my legal prowess and diplomatic, professional demeanor. In fact a partner at a former law firm hired me after I impressed him with my skills as a worthy adversary. That firm then advanced me to be its first non-founding partner.I have managed every aspect of countless lawsuits, including client consultation and intake, investigations, pleadings, discovery, depositions, motion practice, trials, alternate dispute resolution and appeals. I have argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and the 1st and 2nd Appellate Departments of the Supreme Court of the State of New York.In every year since 2011, Avvo.com has recognized me with a superb rating for experience, industry recognition, and professional conduct. I have also been recognized in the 2020/2021 Marquis Who’s Who in American Law Registry.More recently, I have become versed in assignment for the benefit of creditors proceedings under Florida law, a popular alternative for businesses seeking to liquidate outside of Bankruptcy Court.My interest in becoming a lawyer began after a mock trial competition in high school. I also had the honor of serving as a judge for mock trials involving elementary school students. Their preparation and passion continue to inspire me. I kept their thank you notes as a reminder of the importance of shaping the next generation of attorneys to become both skilled practitioners and ethical advocates.Following law school I worked as a criminal prosecutor before finding my calling in commercial litigation, and then bankruptcy litigation. I enjoy the complexities of the cases I handle, negotiating persuasively, and learning and growing as the law evolves. Motivated by delivering exceptional outcomes to my clients, I have a highly favorable win rate.My endless curiosity recently motivated me to launch a thoughtful and topical legal blog, A Lawyer in Florida.I welcome all potential client inquiries, as well as professional connections.
