Biography
I have received top ratings from five major lawyer peer rating services: Avvo.com (Superb); Martindale-Hubbell (AV Rating); Super Lawyers of Upstate New York (Environmental Law--six years running); Justia.com; and Best Lawyers in America (Land Use Law). I have more than 46 years of experience in helping clients resolve complex environmental, regulatory, land use, and economic development challenges. Prevailing legal fees in Upstate New York are significantly lower than those charged in New York City, Philadelphia, and other major cities.
