Profile
I am a West Point graduate and former Finance Officer with the United States Army. I am currently an attorney admitted in New York and the District of Columbia.
I have been practicing since 2005, after admission to the New York State Bar. I was admitted in the District of Columbia in 2006. I look forward to expanding my opportunities to serve more of the area’s residents in the coming years.
As an attorney, I have over four years of experience, predominantly in civil litigation for defendants at the state level in New York, and some experience in DC and Maryland as a law clerk. Although the bulk of my experience is in civil cases, I have experience with criminal and family matters in the DC area.
In my prior life as an Army officer, I served overseas in the Republic of Korea as a Disbursing Officer and at Fort Jackson, South Carolina at the U.S. Army Finance School.
