I have established a legal career that enables me to do first-rate work while at the same time participating meaningfully in pro bono activities. I believe that client service and public service go hand-in-hand. In addition to serving on numerous nonprofit Boards, I have dedicated over 2,000 hours to pro bono clients since 1997, ranging from transactional work for nonprofits and charitable organizations to landlord-tenant and consumer cases for low-income individuals.
