Biography
Very early in my career as an attorney, while engaged in negotiating the terms of a very serious contract, my opposing counsel was apparently taken back, ostensibly aghast. He made this apparent by stating, "for someone who has only been admitted to practice law for a few days, you're pretty damn tenacious." I suppose that he was reaffirming several of the qualities that have long-since honed to a science, satisfying my clients (and at times) irking my family - my gumption, persistance, and neverending relentlessness.
That lawyer's observation set the tone for my career. I developed a reputation that may be most aptly described as Stephen King (a known critic of attorneys) once wrote, "an attorney with sharp teeth, and preferably a taste for human blood." I admit that I haven't ever drawn blood, but I like the metaphor for my effectively aggressive, unorthodo, and zealous advocacy, which I have routinely employed on a daily basis, for each of my client, for over ten years
With all candor, I aim to separate myself from the lawyers that are so often the butt of so many old jokes (not to mention the caricature of the many imagianary lawyers conjured by the great King). I have been told that I'm much easier to speak to than many other attorneys. I have been told that I "don't look like a lawyer." I have been told by experienced people that I'm the best lawyer that they have ever known; and I have been threatened with contempt of court only twice. I believe that principle trumps procedure and that there's a good argument that the entirety of common law is one big legal fiction. Above all, I aim to solve problems. In keeping therewith, I believe that candid communication is elementary in every case, as essential to building trust between attorneys and clients as between married couples.
As indicated by my work over the course of my career, I constantly strive to build and maintain trust, while always providing the best possible legal representation for each and every single one of my clients. I have been very successful in doing so - persistently achieving excellent results across the board, from cases involving punk rock shows at Tompkins Square Park and the Constitutional rights that make such events possibl, to multi-million dollar contracts, to cases of alleged homicide.
One of the most important facets of my practice is to ensure the peace of mind of every person who humbly seeks my counsel. I want you to be able to sleep at night. It actually matters to me. The better you sleep, the better I sleep. Your problems become my problems merely by virtue of the business that I have nurished and constructed. Take that weight off of your shoulders and leave it with me. I'll use that weight to build momentum and fight for the best solution to your case. That's my job. And I'll never lie to you.
Thanks for your interest in my practice. Please don't hesitate to give me a call to discuss your legal issues or to set up a free consultation at your convenience. (I don't actually bite).
