I began my own firm in 1996 in order to focus on helping those who have been injured by malpractice. Since that time, I have gotten to know hundreds of people and the stories behind their cases.

Unlike many medical negligence lawyers, I fell in love with medicine as a child, when I accompanied my father, a doctor, on his house calls to visit patients. I cherish those visits to this day, and I try to achieve the same closeness with my clients that I saw between my father and his patients.

My legal career in medical malpractice started as an associate and later as a partner in a prominent firm where I handled hundreds of cases representing doctors and hospitals. Today, as a plaintiff’s attorney representing patients, I know and can anticipate how attorneys representing medical professionals will build their case because of what I learned during this period of my legal career.

After attending law school at the American University, Washington College of Law, where I served on law review, I was a television journalist and investigative reporter, as well as a commentator on Court TV. Investigative skills and the ability to uncover and tell a story are essential to my case development and trial work in front of judges and juries.

Establishing my own practice means I dedicate my work to my clients and the hardships they endure. I study medicine and keep up with medical research, so that I can best advocate for my clients.

I have been a faculty member of the Cardozo Law School’s Intensive Trial Advocacy Program over the past 10 years. I am a member of the New York City Bar’s Lawyer Assistance Program Committee, whose mission is to help lawyers impaired by addiction, drugs, and mental health issues. I am rated AV Preeminent®, by my peers, ranking me at the highest level of professional excellence for legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards. 

During free time, I love to take walks with my son and our dog in Central Park. I study watercolors and paint at the Art Students League.
