With my book "The Lawyer, the Lion, & the Laundry: Three Hours to Finding Your Calm in the Chaos," my course "Transform Your Relationship with Time to Achieve More with Less Stress," and other resources, I help professionals lead happier and healthier lives. As a practicing lawyer, I was told I couldn’t be a successful lawyer and have a meaningful personal life. I found a way to do both, and now I help others do the same.

I served clients with individual attention, reasonable rates, and personal integrity. I am admitted in New York and Connecticut and serve as a facilitative mediator in civil disputes in both jurisdictions. In my practice, I provided services in the areas of civil litigation, residential and commercial real estate, trusts and estates, and business formation and transactions. I also served as independent general counsel to several businesses, providing affordable and efficient general counsel services on an outsourced basis. I have nearly twenty years of experience handling general commercial litigation matters, ranging from contract disputes and business torts to multi-party and multi-jurisdiction litigation in diverse areas of substantive law, including breach of non-solicitation and non-competition agreements, federal securities law, unfair business practices, lender liability, investment fraud, and animal law issues. I routinely represented clients who have been sued in violation of arbitration agreements and who wish to enforce their arbitration agreements in lieu of proceeding in court. Many of the clients I represented are in the telecommunications and energy industries.In my practice, I represented clients, as both plaintiff and defendant, in all stages of litigation and arbitration, including advising clients regarding whether to initiate proceedings, and from initial filing through trial or settlement and on appeal.Prior to private practice, I clerked for the Honorable Joel F. Dubina of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. I also served as an adjunct professor of law at Brooklyn Law School and Pace Law School, teaching criminal law, legal writing, and moot court.
