Attorney at Law

After graduating with my law degree from the University of Louisville, I gained experience working on both sides of the law as a criminal defense attorney and prosecutor for Essex County before striking out on my own. With a unique insight into how the law works, I offer my clients extensive knowledge and experience that can benefit their case — no matter what they're up against. I'm committed to providing honest analysis and sound legal guidance throughout their case. It gives me great satisfaction to help individuals and families through difficult times and show them a path to a better future.
