About
I'm a seasoned attorney and trusted advisor with experience across government, private practice, and in-house roles. My career began in the courtroom — as a prosecutor, Assistant Attorney General, and U.S. Army JAG officer — and evolved into advising companies, founders, and investors on employment, commercial, and strategic legal matters.
The value of experienced legal counsel isn’t in knowing the law, but in helping clients make sound decisions from the start and as they grow.
Licensed in New York and Wisconsin, I work with clients across the United States and internationally on legal and strategic matters related to U.S. business operations. I partner with business leaders navigating expansion, restructuring, and regulatory challenges, helping them make informed decisions as their ideas and companies evolve.
Clients
Founders, operators, and small business owners with real operations and financial stakes often reach a stage where legal needs are too complex for one-off advice — but not well served by traditional firm models either. That’s where I step in.

Services
I work with clients on a project, transaction, or ongoing advisory basis, with each engagement tailored to the business’s stage, structure, and goals. My role is to provide clear, strategic legal support so you can move forward with confidence and avoid unnecessary risk.
