I have been practicing law for nearly 30 years and have tried many cases to verdict, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in New York and Vermont.

I was born and raised in the Albany area, the fifth of seven children. I received my undergraduate degree from Manhattan College and my law degree from Hofstra University School of Law.

My father worked for a local power company and my mother was a school teacher. They both worked very hard to ensure that we all had a decent upbringing. Two of the greatest qualities I inherited from my parents are a strong work ethic and an understanding that we all have an obligation to help those in need. I bring my work ethic and sense of responsibility to my profession. I work hard for and care about my clients.
