I was born and raised in Poughkeepsie, NY, in the Mid-Hudson Valley. After graduating from Our Lady of Lourdes High School in Poughkeepsie, New York, I began my legal career as a paralegal with a general practice firm, including matrimonial law and family law matters, wills and estates and appeals. I attended Pace University School of Law in White Plains, N.Y. and was admitted to practice law in the State of New York in January 1996.
I worked as an associate attorney for several area law firms.
I began my own firm in 2010.
