I have been practicing law since 1997 and in 2001 started my own practice focusing exclusively on commercial litigation and collections. I have successfully litigated a broad range of matters and obtained favorable rulings for my clients in both trial and appellate courts. A sample of the matters I have handled include: ♦ Obtained a landmark ruling with national implications in federal court under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act; ♦ Won a ruling published on the front page of the New York Law Journal as a Decision of Interest which permitted service of process via email upon a recalcitrant defendant; ♦ Litigated actions for breach of contract and labor law violations against employers; ♦ Represented a financial consulting company against a bank it promoted; ♦ Serve as outside counsel to a law firm; ♦ Defended an art gallery in a multimillion dollar lawsuit; ♦ Litigated disputes between business partners; ♦ Represented an investor against a broker and brokerage firm for fraud and breach of various duties; and ♦ Enforced an action on behalf of a Bankruptcy Trustee involving a preference action.PUBLISHED CASES: Foti v.
