I concentrate in the areas of commercial, corporate, land use and real estate litigation in the state and federal courts. In 1984, I graduated from Columbia College, Columbia University, where I studied Political Science and Economics. In 1987, I graduated,  magna cum laude, from New York Law School, where I was 4th in my class, a recipient of a full-tuition merit scholarship, and a Research Editor of the Law Review. While I was a law student, I interned with state and federal judges.

After graduating from law school, I began a two-year position as a Law Clerk to the Honorable Robert D. Potter, Chief Judge of the United States District Court, Western District of North Carolina, located in Charlotte, North Carolina. After completing my federal clerkship in 1989, I returned to New York and worked on numerous complex litigation matters in state and federal courts.

In addition to being admitted to practice before the courts of the State of New York, I am admitted to practice in the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York. I am a member of the New York County Lawyers' Association, the Nassau County Bar Association, the Suffolk County Bar Association and the American Bar Association, and its Litigation Section.
