For three years, I represented the New York City child welfare agency in Family Court proceedings.  While working for the agency, I appeared in Family Court virtually every day, and I litigated dozens of contested hearings.

Family court litigation is a daunting process with high stakes.  As your attorney, I will work diligently to protect your rights and those of your children.  I always try to expedite cases, but never at the expense of my clients.  I will litigate your case at every stage if necessary to defend your interests.

I graduated from Brooklyn Law School, and I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania.  When I attended Brooklyn Law School, I served as President of the Unemployment Action Center, where I represented individuals who were denied unemployment insurance benefits by the New York State Department of Labor.  I am admitted to practice law before the courts of New York and Connecticut.   I serve on the New York State Bar Association Committee on Legal Aid, and the Queens County Bar Association Juvenile Justice Committee.  Furthermore, I am a member of the Assigned Counsel/Attorneys for Children Panel for the Second Judicial Department.
