What I'm looking for

I seek plaintiff- or defense-side litigation roles where I can handle trials, depositions, complex no-fault and insurance matters, and mentor junior attorneys.

I am an experienced litigation attorney licensed in New York with a career focused on personal injury, no-fault insurance, foreclosure defense, bankruptcy, and general civil litigation. I have run my own practice since 2008 and previously handled high-volume defense and plaintiff matters at established New York firms.

Throughout my career I have appeared frequently in Supreme and Federal Courts, handled motions, preliminary and compliance conferences, and conducted depositions and examinations under oath. I have resolved matters through trials, arbitrations, and settlements across a wide range of insurance policy limits.

I have experience prosecuting and defending motor vehicle, premises liability, slip-and-fall, and medical provider no-fault claims, including commencing lawsuits, drafting pleadings, responding to discovery, and preparing witnesses for trial. I have also handled real estate closings and municipal hearings, demonstrating versatility across civil practice areas.

I bring a practical, courtroom-focused approach and a track record of managing large caseloads, preparing dispositive motions, and advocating effectively for diverse clients. I seek opportunities where I can apply my trial experience, litigation management skills, and client-first ethos to achieve favorable outcomes.
