As a legal expert in trade regulation and consumer protection, I have over 30 years of experience in federal court and administrative litigation, regulatory enforcement, and disability adjudication. I retired from the Social Security Administration (SSA) in 2021, where I served as an Administrative Law Judge for more than 12 years, resolving complex and sensitive disability claims.Prior to joining the SSA, I was a Senior Attorney at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for over 20 years, where I led investigations and litigation against false, unfair, and deceptive trade practices in advertising and marketing. I also acted as a consumer protection advocate and spokesperson to the media, professional groups, and consumers. I hold a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Trade Regulation from New York University School of Law, where I specialized in antitrust, consumer protection, and trademark law.Currently, I do consulting work as an online legal expert for JustAnswer - guiding consumers on consumer protection, Social Security and other legal issues.
