Education & Personal Life
I started the firm in Hudson County in 1987 after graduating from Newark's Seton Hall University School of Law. Prior to law school, I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Ithaca College in 1984. As the third generation of legal professionals, I am proud to continue the legacy of my father and grandfather who were well-respected attorneys in the North Jersey legal community.
I am frequently contributing to magazines and newspapers in Hudson County concerning immigration information and I have spoken to various civic organizations and at other gatherings about immigration law issues. I have also been featured on TV and Radio discussing these issues. If you would like me to speak to your organization feel free to contact me.
When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, biking, exercising, skiing and spinning at Soul Cycle in NYC.
