I received a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Northwestern University in 1996 and then got my JD at the University of Illinois College of Law in 1999. I have been a lawyer helping people with legal issues in the United States and Internationally since then. That includes litigation as well as contracts/transactions. I also have a passion for helping small and medium businesses with trademark registration and trademark-related legal projects.

The law can be confusing and complicated for people, and I am passionate about providing professional legal services to my clients while simultaneously making the legal process less confusing and stressful for them. My goal is to help clients navigate through both good and difficult times by tailoring my skills, experience, and services to their specific needs.

I am currently licensed and authorized to practice before the Illinois courts and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Internationally I am one of a select few American attorneys licensed and authorized to practice before the United Nations ICTY/IRMCT, the International Criminal Court, and the State Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Clients have retained me internationally alongside local counsel in several European countries, as well as Australia and Africa in private legal matters. I also have been appointed by the United Nations to represent persons at the ICTY/IRMCT in addition to being chosen by indigent accused to represent them.

Since 2009 my law firm has handled domestic and international cases, including Trial litigation (including Commercial, Premises Liability, Personal Injury, Criminal Defense, and General Litigation), as well as Transactional work (Trademarks/Copyright, Contracts, Corporate formation, and Real Estate Transactions).
