I've been representing clients in the criminal and family courts of New York State since 1999, and I believe that being an attorney isn't a business, it's a craft that requires a sense of personal honor. I've tried cases from open-container violations to murders and, whatever the matter, I'll never leave you in the dark about your case, I'll give your case care and attention, and I'll never sell you out or do anything without your knowledge and consent.

Having won dozens of cases in criminal and immigration court, I'm a tough litigator but also a compassionate listener. I've appeared in State and Federal courts and have handled matters as complex as multi-defendant conspiracies, White Collar defense, and violent felonies. No case is too small, or too large.
