Education and Experience
Appellate Cases
The "Snapshot:"
As my first job, after law school, was as an attorney at a large corporate law firm, I am particularly skilled in legal research and writing motions and briefs; and I am comfortable with complex financial issues and matters involving extensive document productions. As a result of working as a lawyer for a not-for-profit assisting indigent clients in matrimonial/family law cases, I learned firsthand about promoting justice and received valuable training in the personal, real-life implications of divorce on families. Due to these distinct professional experiences, I am proficient in communicating clearly (dropping the “legalese”) to explain the purpose and strategy of the process.
