    I am a New York licensed attorney with a distinguished background in delivering high-quality legal services. My experience includes working at the top-tier law firm Latham & Watkins, where I represented some of the nation's leading corporations in complex disputes and transactions. I earned my law degree from Fordham Law School, graduating near the top of my class. Now leading my own practice, I bring the same level of top-tier excellence to my clients' matters while minimizing their costs. I distinguish my practice in three key ways: 1. Holistic and practical approach: There are often a number of ways to tackle a legal problem. I work with my clients to choose the best strategy for them, whether it involves aggressive negotiation or litigation, or a more subtle or creative solution. 2. Advanced technology: I use advanced legal Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology tools, staying at the forefront of the legal AI tech revolution. AI allows me to streamline labor intensive tasks and to provide top-tier services at a fraction of the price. 3. Flexible pricing: I offer flexible pricing to suit my clients’ needs, including predetermined fixed prices, to keep costs down and eliminate cost uncertainty. My services focus on civil disputes (including property, contract and post-transaction disputes, negligence, fraud, real estate disputes, insurance disputes, personal injury, and more) and contract assistance (including negotiation, review and drafting). I offer a free initial consultation and look forward to discussing your situation and how I may assist you with these or other matters.

    I am a skilled and experienced Contract Attorney and in-house counsel. I read, write, and edit contracts and agreements. This is all that I do. I can summarize, outline, point out liabilities, edit, redline, draft agreements. I can focus on one area or examine the entire agreement. I do Agreements, MSA's, SOW's, MFA's, NDA's, etc. I have extensive experience with the service industry and staffing agreements too. Many people believe they can review and read a contract. But it does take experience and skill to see the finer points and the important clauses. It is easy to have sections contradict each other or go down the slippery slope of unintended consequences. I've spotted issues in nearly every contract, especially from those drafted by major corporations! Don't assume you know the finer points or sign blindly without counsel. A contract is the framework for your entire business relationship, how you are paid, what you do, and how it can be dissolved.. Contracts and Agreements should not be, and need not be a hostile experience. It is a complex document that takes knowledge and experience to master. ATTORNEY ADVERTISEMENT
