For 23 years I’ve represented clients in criminal, immigration, family, and civil matters across New York. I have also served as a Village Court Judge in Manorhaven, right here on Long Island where I was born and raised. I started my own practice because I have always had a passion for defending people who get in trouble, and because they deserve a lawyer who actually calls them back.
