Claimed Lawyer Profile

Biography

I am a dedicated commercial litigator committed to securing the right solutions for my clients. My practice is deeply rooted in the professional design and construction industry, where I represent clients in a variety of matters including professional design malpractice, defense under Labor Law ("Scaffold Law"), public bidding protests, fee and payment collection, project delay and acceleration claims, construction defects, mechanic’s lien and bond claims, and more. Additionally, I handle a broad range of general commercial and contract litigation, such as insurance coverage, real property and lease disputes, N.Y. CPLR Article 78 proceedings, and other commercial litigation matters.

I represent a diverse group of clients that includes public and private real property owners and tenants, design professionals, sureties, insurers, contractors, public agencies, and municipalities. I regularly appear in the N.Y. Supreme and Appellate Division Courts, N.Y. Court of Claims, and Federal Courts. My experience in the design and construction industry allows me to assist clients in drafting and negotiating agreements to meet the unique and specialized needs of their projects while appropriately allocating costs and risks among all stakeholders.

I add substantial value and efficiency by advising my clients on risk mitigation and dispute avoidance strategies. Where feasible, I assist clients with early identification and resolution of issues in an effort to prevent costly and time-consuming litigation. I am also a highly capable and experienced litigator who represents clients through all phases of litigation, arbitration, and other dispute resolution proceedings with the goal of achieving the most favorable, efficient, and cost-effective resolution for my clients.

I maintain an active law license in New York state and am licensed but inactive in Arizona and California.
