After graduating law school in 2009 I worked in hospital liability defense until 2015 when I joined a plaintiff's personal injury firm. While working for the defense I gained experience that is helpful now that my practice is focused on helping individuals who have been injured seek just recovery. My practice now encompasses all aspects of plaintiff's personal injury work on medical malpractice, premises liability, and general negligence cases.

Besides being a FINRA public arbitrator, I mediate family issues in Denver while still shadow lawyering clients in New York. I encourage the preemptive approach to law to head off legal difficulties and I take pride in exemplary, personalized client service.

My environmental law experience includes a decade as an attorney for the Environmental Protection Agency, rising to Regional Counsel Section Chief; a decade as an Equity Partner for a 200 attorney litigation firm, rising to Chair of their Environmental Practice Group; and a decade running my own Environmental Law Boutique Firm in Chicago before opening my Firm's second office in Denver Colorado in 2011.

I earned a Juris Doctorate, a Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering, and a Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign.
