What I Do

My practice involves all aspects of real estate litigation, with a focus on representing the interests of condominium and cooperative boards. I use my extensive litigation experience to find creative solutions to resolve complex issues for the benefit of my clients.

Throughout my career, I have established myself as an attorney who excels in handling high-profile and complex cases from inception through trial, having tried numerous cases before juries and judges. I began my litigation career representing the interests of general contractors and construction managers and use this experience to better represent boards and individuals. My litigation career guided me in my general counsel work, and helped better form practical solutions and advice to the day-to-day issues affecting boards and individuals, from the small to large scale.

In addition to my general counsel work, I litigate claims across all areas of real estate and construction, including construction defects, contractual claims, and license agreements. I also negotiate contracts on behalf of clients for projects big and small. In doing so, I aim to achieve practical solutions expeditiously and use my experience to achieve the best results for my clients. I have negotiated many seven-figure settlements, as well as settlements with a combination of monetary relief, remediation work, and warranty extensions for the work and systems affected.

As a seasoned litigator with trial experience, I can handle all the needs of my clients and offer solutions to their individual issues.

Who I Help

Condominium and cooperative boards

Why I Enjoy What I Do

Every decision that is made in a condominium or cooperative potentially carries a risk in the present and future. I get satisfaction in using my experience to guide boards in minimalizing risk and exposure, while setting precedent that will put the building in the best possible position in the future. Each approach is different and catered to the needs of each individual building at the time, but the goal is always the same.
