Biography
I am dedicated to providing excellent legal guidance to my clients. I graduated University of Connecticut and then went on to attend Brooklyn Law School. After graduating law school, I worked both in private practice and as an assistant district attorney in Suffolk County and as the Southold Town Attorney.
My areas of practice are: Matrimonial and Family Law, Real Estate, Criminal, Civil Litigation, Commercial and Corporate Law and Estate Litigation. With all cases, I am looking to find resolution. However if necessary, I am also prepared to take every case to trial if a resolution cannot be reached.
It is important to us that all of your questions are answered to your satisfaction, fully and completely, and that you have a complete understanding of what is happening in your case.
