Legal advice you can understand I am a New York attorney with more than 15 years of experience, offering a modern, limited-scope approach to legal services. You don’t always need an attorney to take over an entire matter. Sometimes you need a contract reviewed, a difficult legal question answered, a document drafted, a strategy developed, or an experienced lawyer to serve as a sounding board before you make an important decision. That’s where I come in. Since moving my practice exclusively online in 2018, I have focused increasingly on limited-scope (or “unbundled”) legal services. We define exactly where you need my help, and you remain informed and involved in the rest. Business Law & Contracts: I work with entrepreneurs, startups, small businesses, and established companies on a variety of legal matters including contract drafting, review, and negotiation; operating and partnership agreements; employment matters; and ongoing legal questions and strategic legal guidance. Family Law & Pro Se Support: My family law practice is now focused on helping litigants who are representing themselves. I do not appear in court on my clients’ behalf. Instead, I work behind the scenes to help pro se litigants understand the law and procedure, develop case strategy, prepare and review court documents, conduct legal research, evaluate settlement proposals, and prepare for court appearances. Representing yourself doesn’t mean doing it alone. With the right knowledge and preparation, you can remain in control of your case while getting experienced legal guidance where you need it. AI + Human Legal Judgment: AI has made legal information and drafting tools more accessible than ever, and I welcome clients who use them. But AI output isn’t legal judgment. It can miss context, misunderstand applicable law, overlook procedural requirements, or produce an answer that sounds convincing but is simply wrong. If you’ve researched an issue or prepared a legal document using AI, I can review the work, identify potential problems, and help you determine whether the approach makes sense from a legal and strategic perspective. How I Work My goal is simple: help you understand your legal situation so you can make informed decisions with confidence. I believe in straightforward communication, practical solutions, and being transparent about the work a matter actually requires. Sometimes you need extensive legal assistance. Sometimes you need an hour of an experienced attorney’s time. Part of my job is helping you determine the difference. I have been licensed to practice law in New York since 2009 and am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Have a legal question or project in mind? Tell me what’s happening and what you need help with. We can determine the appropriate scope from there.
