Norristown, PA 19401
I am both a full-time Assistant Public Defender for Montgomery County and a solo practitioner. My solo practice focuses on criminal, civil and family law litigation with over 20 years of tested experience throughout southeastern Pennsylvania and Maryland. I have successfully tried civil and criminal jury trials, contested family law hearings, administrative proceedings and appeals. I also periodically serve as an arbitrator in civil court cases, and I have been court-appointed as conflict defense counsel in state criminal prosecutions.
Many moons ago, I earned an Ivy League degree in philosophy from Columbia University, and then my law degree from the University of Miami. I began my legal career as a judicial law clerk in Towson, Maryland, and first established my own law practice there at the age of 26. I moved to Pennsylvania in 2000, and revived my solo practice after working for a few years with local law firms. These early efforts were rewarded by being named a "Pennsylvania Super Lawyer- Rising Star" in 2005 and 2006 by the publishers of Philadelphia magazine. Based upon my law firm experiences, I have found that I now best serve my clients one-on-one as a solo attorney.
I'm active in the Montgomery Bar Association and I'm currently a Director. I'm also co-Chair of the Solo/Small Firm Practice Committee and a member of the Judiciary Committee. Get involved!
