introduction
I have extensive experience representing municipal, corporate and individual clients in both state and federal courts in litigation involving animals, personal injury, insurance coverage, commercial transactions, labor and employment disputes. I also have a thriving general practice and frequently represent individual and municipal clients in transactional matters as-well-as tax certiorari litigation, business matters, contacts, wills and estates, employment discrimination, not-for-profit formation, elder care guardianships and constitutional law.
I maintain an ever expanding niche practice in the area of animal law and business issues involving animals which focuses on advocating for clients and the welfare of animals in a variety of legal contexts. I am a member of the New York State Bar Association’s Committee on Animals and the Law, an attorney-member of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, co-chair of the Albany County Bar Association's Committee on Animals and the Law and the author of “Animal Law Update”, which is published quarterly in the Albany County Bar Association’s newsletter. I am the supervising attorney for animal law component of Albany Law School’s pro bono legal project. I also frequently lecturer on dangerous dog hearings and negligence issues for the state and local bar associations. I maintain an activeblog about local and national animal law related issues.
