I have had the privilege of being in private law practice in Maryland for the last 19 years. I was a judicial law clerk for the Honorable Howard S. Chasanow, both on the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, as well as on the Maryland Court of Appeals. Since 1990, I have also enjoyed tutoring some of Maryland's finest and brightest attorneys for the Maryland Essay Exam; all whom have been successful. Specialties Maryland does not allow for publication of specialty areas for private practitioners. My private practice consists of a general practice, focusing on litigation in the areas of family law, juvenile and criminal law matters, contract law, representing business clients of various sizes, including area churches involving legal matters, employment law, bankruptcy law, and personal injury law.

We provide legal counsel to individuals on matters related to family law, wills, small business start-up, bankruptcy and other debt solutions.
