Clients who work with my firm deal directly with me. I believe accessibility matters. Questions should be answered promptly. Phone calls and emails should be returned. Clients deserve to know where their matter stands and what comes next. Whether I’m reviewing a residential contract, negotiating a commercial agreement, or preparing for litigation, I strive to provide practical guidance, responsive communication, and efficient representation.

Outside the office, I’m still passionate about music, history, science, and lifelong learning. Those interests have led to some unique opportunities over the years, including appearing as a contestant on Jeopardy!. More importantly, they reflect the curiosity and problem-solving mindset I bring to every client matter.

Every case is different, but every client deserves the same level of preparation, honesty, and attention. If you’re looking for legal counsel that combines practical business experience with responsive, personalized representation, I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can help.

I look forward to working with you.

Before becoming an attorney, I built businesses of my own. I founded Asbury Park Brewery and spent years working in the music industry, experiences that taught me firsthand the challenges entrepreneurs face. Running a business means making decisions with incomplete information, balancing legal risk against practical realities, and finding solutions that make sense financially as well as legally. That perspective continues to shape the advice I give my clients today.

I earned my Juris Doctor from Rutgers Law School after graduating from Rutgers University summa cum laude with a degree in Political Science. I also completed the International Law Program at Leiden University in the Netherlands, where I studied comparative legal systems and international legal issues. Since entering private practice in 2015, I have represented clients in residential and commercial real estate transactions, business matters, contract negotiations, employment issues, commercial disputes, and civil litigation throughout New Jersey.

Teaching has always been an important part of my career. I have served as an adjunct professor at Kean University, teaching courses in negotiation, public speaking, and communication. I am also a licensed New Jersey real estate continuing education instructor, regularly teaching real estate professionals about attorney review, contracts, legal updates, and risk management. Teaching keeps me engaged with developments in the law and reflects my commitment to explaining complex legal issues in a way clients can actually understand.
