After growing up in the Harrisburg area I attended college in Boston then postponed my law school aspirations and began a business career there. After a career and geographic detour I moved to Miami where I continued my business career as an accounting and finance professional for the next seven years. In 2002, I was ready to return to Pennsylvania to finally pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer to help people navigate life’s legal curveballs as well as be closer to family. When I graduated from The Dickinson School of Law of The Pennsylvania State University, I passed the bar examination immediately and was admitted to the practice of law in Pennsylvania. I did not immediately pursue a traditional path of grinding out long hours as a new associate at a big firm. Instead I returned to the business world and focused on helping my employer as an in-house counsel working with a number of entrepreneurial startups within the compasny’s family of businesses. In addition to helping entrepreneurs with all of the legalities of starting, growing and running new businesses , I began to explore the possibility of starting my own solo law practice. While continuing to serve entrepreneurs and small and growing businesses I also decided to concentrate on areas of law most of us encounter at some point in our lives – accidents, death (probate, trusts, Wills, etc), real estate, and more. After the company I worked for was sold and relocated to San Diego I moved my law practice into high gear taking on more and more clients in business, consumer finance (debt) litigation, estate planning and probate. Along the way I kept my door open for friends who needed help with small business matters and now welcome entrepreneurs and small businesses as clients every day.
