With my free time, I enjoy writing songs and playing music. I’m also a big fan of Sacramento’s wealth of sunshine and scenic beauty. As a transplant from Buffalo, NY, I like to remind myself that no matter how hot it gets, I’ll never have to shovel the heat.

Delivering for Clients
“A strength I bring to my litigation practice is an in-depth understanding of how the courts work. I’ve seen firsthand how judges look at briefings before the court and have learned what makes for a good argument and what doesn’t.”
