Before opening my own firm, I was a senior trial and appellate attorney at the Law Offices of Henry R. Simon, a trial attorney for the New York Telephone Company, and a civil litigator for the Wall Street firm, Hughes Hubbard & Reed. I am an honors graduate of Fordham Law School, and I am a member of the New York and New Jersey bars. I also am duly admitted to practice before the United States Courts of Appeals for the Second and Fourth Circuits, the United States District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, and for the District of New Jersey, and the United States Supreme Court.
I have extensive experience representing buyers and sellers in residential real estate transactions. I do whatever it takes to satisfy the client and complete the transaction in this economic climate. A recent sale I handled required the legalization of a property line land swap, preparation of modification and spreader agreements, preparation of three deeds, and negotiation and resolution of 18 judgments and liens against the property. Regardless of the size of the transaction, I provide the same level of excellent service and engage inconstant communication with my clients. My motto is "do whatever it takes" to satisfy the client and complete the transaction in a timely fashion.
I concentrate on civil litigation in both federal and state courts and residential real estate transactions. I have over twenty years of civil litigation experience, including significant appellate court experience. I have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in complex negligence, discrimination, products liability matters, and toxic tort matters. Employment law has also been a long-standing interest of mine. One of my earliest cases was a class action against the New York City Board of Education on behalf of women seeking promotions to administrative positions in the City high schools.
Regardless of whether I am representing a buyer or seller or a defendant, I am committed to excellence and dedicated to achieving the best possible results for each client.
