Having tried several hundred cases, I can certainly argue any set of facts; after more than 20 years in practice, I am confident that I know evidence and the law; but as you can see from my background - I also know most of the players. This combination has provided my clients with consistently successful and outstanding results. I have been a resident of Western Massachusetts for my entire life. After serving as a prosecutor in Hampshire County, I was recruited to work in the litigation department of one of the most prestigious firms in Springfield. I handled a wide array of civil and criminal litigation as the lead counsel. Due to my hard work, I was one of the two youngest persons to be voted partner in this almost Century old firm. I was chosen to serve for many years on the firm's three-member Executive Committee. In late 2012, I left to start my own firm.
