What I Do
I focus my practice on transactions and litigation involving cooperatives and condominiums.
Prior to joining the firm in 2021, I worked as a paralegal in the Queens District Attorney’s Office where I assisted assistant district attorneys in felony trials.
Before law school, I followed two generations of family into the ironworking trade as a member of Metal Lathers Local 46. I worked on the construction of high-rise buildings, bridges, and other major municipal projects. My firsthand experience in the construction industry informs my work today and is a valuable asset when assisting the firm’s clients with construction-related matters.
Who I Help
Condominium and cooperative boards
Why I Enjoy What I Do
I take pride in finding logical solutions to otherwise illogical problems. It brings me joy to efficiently resolve our clients’ disputes so they can return their focus to items that are much less burdensome.
