I have been engaged in the practice of law since 1974 with an emphasis on Bankruptcy, Domestic Relations, Real Estate and Probate. I have maintained an office in Salem, Massachusetts since 1975 and one in Haverhill, Massachusetts since 1984. I am a former President of the Salem Bar Association, former Chairman of the Essex County Bar Association Family Law Council, and a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association's Property Law Council. I currently lecture on family law and real estate matters for Lorman Education Services and am a guest lecturer at Boston University Graduate School's American Studies Program on issues relating to law and historic preservation. I am also a member of the matrimonial and divorce law.
