I attended Touro Law School.  Prior to that, I was a paralegal with MDASR.

I did not always want to be an attorney. It wasn’t until I worked here as a paralegal that I realized that I wanted to do more for our clients. That’s when I went to law school.

I like practicing Social Security Disability because it allows me to help disabled individuals get the benefits they need and deserve.

I greatly value my relationship with my clients and always strive to provide the best legal representation possible. I believe it is very important to have a good relationship with my clients so they feel comfortable discussing all their issues and impairments with me during what in many cases is a very difficult time in their lives.

If I were a client, I would look for sincerity and compassion in my attorney.

What I most like about working at MDASR is the sense of team work in endeavoring to do the utmost for our clients.

When outside of the office I like to spend time with my family, travel and go to the beach.

I am a member of the Injured Workers’ Bar Association.
