With 18+ years of experience spanning immigration, healthcare regulation, labor law, privacy compliance, and estate planning, I help individuals, businesses, and organizations navigate complex legal and regulatory landscapes — without the overhead of a traditional law firm. My career has taken me from the courtroom to the boardroom. As a Senior Attorney at the New York State Department of Health, I spent a decade advising state bureaus on regulatory compliance, statutory interpretation, and public health law — including serving on the legal team for New York's COVID-19 pandemic response. As a Hearing Officer with the New York State Department of Labor, I have presided over 100+ mediation and compliance conferences, recovering over $4 million in wages for workers across New York State. And as a Judge Advocate General with both the U.S. Army Reserves and the New York Air National Guard — a role I have held for over 15 years — I have guided service members and their families through estate planning, wills, trusts, and the unique legal complexities that come with military life. **Here's what I can help you with:** **Immigration Advisory** Guidance on visa pathways (H-1B, O-1, EB-5, TN), adjustment of status, naturalization, asylum, and removal defense strategy. I have successfully advised on 20+ asylum cases and secured cancellation of removal for multiple clients. **Healthcare Regulatory & MSO/MSA Compliance** Compliance reviews, regulatory gap analysis, and policy interpretation for healthcare organizations, startups, and providers navigating state and federal regulations — including HIPAA, Certificate of Need (CON) requirements, and public health law. I regularly structure and review **Management Services Organization (MSO) arrangements, Management Services Agreements (MSAs), and Professional LLC (PLLC) / friendly-PC structures**, advising on the corporate practice of medicine doctrine, fee-splitting restrictions, telehealth compliance, and the contractual framework that keeps physician-owned entities and their management partners on the right side of state law. **Business & Entity Structuring for Healthcare Ventures** Formation and governance guidance for PLLCs, professional corporations, and MSO/PC combinations — including operating agreements, management agreements, and the allocation of clinical versus administrative control needed to satisfy corporate-practice-of-medicine and licensure requirements. **Labor & Employment Compliance** Advisory on wage and hour compliance, employer obligations under state and federal labor law, workplace policy review, and regulatory risk assessment. Backed by hands-on experience presiding over labor disputes at the New York State Department of Labor. **Estate Planning Document Review & Advisory** Review and advisory on wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare proxies, and beneficiary designations. Particular expertise serving military families, international clients, and blended family situations requiring nuanced planning. **Contract, Privacy Policy & Terms of Service Review** Plain-language review and advisory on contracts, ToS agreements, privacy policies, and business documents — ensuring your paperwork says what you think it says and protects you the way you need it to. Whether you're a healthcare startup structuring an MSO, a provider group forming a PLLC, a small business navigating employment compliance, an individual with immigration questions, or a family planning for the future — I bring institutional knowledge, real-world experience, and a practical, client-first approach to every engagement. *Licensed in New York. Available for advisory and consulting engagements worldwide.*
