Professional Certification:
I am a licensed attorney in New York and California.
Bar Number(s): CA ? 257355; NY - 2998938
Professional Resume:
My experience at the District Attorney’s Office helped me understand how to build a criminal case. Since moving to California, I have taught potential law enforcement officers at a career college. Additionally, my teaching experience has introduced me to many criminal justice professionals who could be expert witnesses if needed in a particular case. And, finally, my father was a police officer in Orange County. Throughout my childhood, I developed a strong understanding of how law enforcement works and thinks.
Company Description:
When I graduated law school in 1998, I began working for the Kings County District Attorney’s Office (that is Brooklyn). I worked there for six years on a wide range of cases. They included petty crime to large scale narcotics investigations involving extensive violence and gang activity.
When I left the District Attorney’s Office, I represented physicians throughout New York City, Long Island and Westchester County. These were medical malpractice cases where the doctors were being sued.
Though it paid much more, I did not enjoy my four years in civil litigation. All that I did was for the ‘money’ – my client was an insurance company, my boss wanted a set number of billable hours each month, and the plaintiffs’ attorneys only wanted a large settlement. I missed criminal law. I missed working for an individual’s interests. I want to do that again. When I moved to California, I decided to focus on criminal law.
