A graduate of Fairfield University (1995) and of Seton Hall University School of Law (1998) he began his career by serving as judicial law clerk for the Honorable Douglas Hague who governed the medical malpractice calendar for Middlesex County. Strictly interested in helping hurt people obtain justice, he began trying cases before judges and juries in 1999. He has handles cases where people have been hurt in motor vehicle accidents, serious falls because of dangerous conditions, defective products, medical and nursing home negligence, and construction accidents. Multiple cases he has handled have received statewide attention via reported results in “New Jersey Law Journal,” and “Verdict Search.” Most recently one of his cases was featured in the “New Jersey Law Journal” as the third top settlements in New Jersey in 2015.

Enjoying the art of teaching, he frequently gives seminars to a variety of different audiences. He has spoken to local schools discussing the legal implications of bullying, and the responsibilities of investigating abused children and DYFS involvement. For over 15 years he has studied and taught the art and science of body language, lecturing and training law students (Rutgers and Seton Hall), practicing attorneys, prosecutors, police officers, and Judges. He was also featured on CNN as a body language expert on “Prime News with Vinnie Politan.” He has written articles for attorneys in the “New Jersey Lawyer Weekly Newspaper,” and also for the public as the author of a column “Legally Speaking” which appeared in The Journal Magazine and circulated throughout Monmouth County New Jersey.
