Education

My Education

I have a BA from Syracuse University and continued my education to receive my Juris Doctor degree from Syracuse University College of Law. I have acquired trial experience of more than 30 years, including major felony jury trials. I am also a former Senior Court Attorney in the Cortland County Family, County and Surrogate Courts.

I have maintained a private practice for 30+ years, handling all aspects of criminal cases through jury trials and appeals. Every week I am in various Courts throughout Cortland and Tompkins counties, handling matters ranging from major felonies, to misdemeanors, to various types of civil litigation.

Focused On You

The most appropriate resolution for your case will come about after a thorough discussion of all relevant aspects of your case, including but not limited to the evidence, the equities involved, the expenses involved and the most advantageous potential outcome for you— either by negotiating your best possible resolution, or a trial.

You can talk with me directly about your situation instead of talking to a secretary or paralegal. If I do not answer when you call, then I am in court or with a client. Please leave your name, phone number and a brief message and I will return your phone call as soon as possible, usually within hours or on the same day.
