      My commitment to represent those suffering from tragic results of injuries or death was forged at an early age as I experienced one first hand when my father died on the job.
      Raised in the Bronx by a young widow, I saw the importance of having the RIGHT lawyer.  My mother had to fight insurance companies for compensation and benefits while grieving her husband and caring for three small children.
      I have chosen to practice in the Bronx to serve the communities that I have known since childhood.  My pride, commitment, dedication, experience and compassion are the foundation for my practice.  Much like the New York Yankees, those are the attributes which have led to the tradition of success.
      I started my career as a Kings County prosecutor where I honed my trial skills.  I was a winner of the inaugural Office Trial competition.  I then returned to my roots and assumed the responsibility of representing those suffering from serious personal injuries.
      With over 13 years of experience as a personal injury trial attorney, I continue to treat each and every client as on of my own family members.
