I concentrate in areas of real estate, commercial financing, business/commercial transactions, estate planning, and bankruptcy law.

I have a very supportive and loyal staff, all of whom I admire, respect and appreciate.

I enjoy the practice of law and the entrepreneurial aspects of running my own business. I aim to create a personal/approachable atmosphere while affording our clients the benefits of knowledge, education and experience.

I am admitted to the Bar of the State of Connecticut and the United States District Court for the State of Connecticut.

I am a member of the following organizations:

I am a charter member of Business Networking International – Business Exchange Chapter and have acted as their Treasurer since 2013.

I am an active volunteer with CJK Foundation, a non-profit organization assisting those suffering with anxiety and depression.

I have three sons who are the absolute lights of my life.

I believe that positivity, determination, communication and tenacity will get you everywhere you want to go.
