Trial Attorney · New York

Every case has
a turning point.

I find it.

Partnership disputes. Custody litigation. Business conflicts. The cases that keep you awake at 2 a.m. deserve someone who will be awake with you.

Trial Attorney · New York

The courtroom is a stage. Every element — the pause before an answer, the angle of a document held up to the light — is choreographed for the twelve people who decide everything.

Confidential · No Obligation

Here’s what we’re going to do.

The first call is a conversation, not a pitch. You describe the situation. I tell you honestly what I see, what it takes, and whether we’re the right fit. No pressure. No invoice.

Chapter II — Conflict

Business Litigation
01

A tech founder. A broken partnership. $4.2M on the table.

Two co-founders, four years of work, one operating agreement that said nothing about what happens when one of them stops showing up. The plaintiff wanted dissolution. The defendant wanted a buyout at a fraction of fair value. We found a third option neither side had considered.

Outcome

Settled at mediation. Client retained controlling interest and recovered $2.8M.

Duration

14 months

Family Law
02

A relocation notice. A custody order. A mother who needed to move.

She received a job offer in Seattle — the kind that changes a family's financial trajectory for a generation. Her ex-husband's attorney filed to block the move within 48 hours. The existing order said nothing about interstate relocation.

Outcome

Court approved relocation with modified custody schedule preserving meaningful parenting time.

Duration

8 months

03

A restaurant owner. A slip-and-fall. A $1.1M demand letter.

The plaintiff's attorney sent a demand letter on a Friday. By Monday, they had surveillance footage showing the plaintiff entering the restaurant, leaving, returning, and creating the condition that caused the fall. The case never reached a jury.

Outcome

Complaint dismissed with prejudice. Zero settlement paid.

Duration

6 months

04

A non-compete clause. A star employee. A former employer's injunction.

The injunction was filed the same week our client's new company was set to close its seed round. The former employer wanted a temporary restraining order that would have frozen everything. We had 72 hours to respond.

Outcome

TRO denied. Seed round closed. Non-compete narrowed at final hearing.

Duration

4 months

Not seeing your situation?

Every case I take starts with a conversation, not a contract.

If you’re facing litigation you didn’t anticipate, or a dispute that’s grown beyond what you can manage alone, the first call costs nothing. Tell me what happened. I’ll tell you what I see.

Partnership Dissolution

I came in thinking I understood what was at stake. After the first meeting, I realized I had been wrong about almost everything — and that was the most valuable thing anyone had told me in two years.

Family Law

She didn't promise me what I wanted to hear. She told me exactly what the judge was likely to think, why, and what we needed to do about it. Three months later, we were done.

Civil Litigation

The other side had a larger firm. They had more people in the room. None of that mattered. What mattered was that she had read the file closer than anyone else in the building.

The Approach

I.

Read everything.

Every contract. Every email. Every message that was deleted. The turning point is always in the record.

II.

Find the story the other side doesn't want told.

Facts don't win cases. Narratives do. I find the narrative before the other side finds theirs.

III.

Build the case for the person in the back row.

Jurors, judges, mediators — they all decide the same way. Not on law. On what feels true.

The case doesn’t wait.

Neither should you.

A confidential consultation is the only way to know what your situation actually requires. No forms. No intake questionnaires. A direct conversation with the attorney who will handle your case.
