Ian was born on a public holiday- Veteran’s Day, November 11, 1977 in Good Samaritan Hospital, Suffern, New York to loving parents, Wendy and Warren who went on to have another son Jason, who is a successful Cantor in Northern Virginia. Since Veteran’s Day was a public holiday, Ian enjoyed public school closures throughout his early years and has extended that tradition into his Firm, making Veteran’s Day his Firm’s first recognized holiday. Ian learned from his early years. That fighting through physical altercation or violence was unacceptable. Rather, Ian fought through using his words, for words yielded an insurmountable amount of power which violence could never achieve. Underneath Ian’s sarcastic, strong and serious exterior is a thoughtful and compassionate man who vigorously fights for those who find themselves incapable of using words, or articulating messages in furtherance of their cause or in their defense. For Ian, there is no separation between personal and professional life as an attorney’s job is a 24/7 undertaking. You can always expect from Ian an insightful and razor-sharp approach to any obstacle preventing a path forward. Particularly sensitive to the needs and unique attributes of minority populations, it is always better to have Ian on your side than against. For to those who perpetrate discrimination, victimization and marginalization against the less powerful, less funded, and less connected, Ian ensures a complete exhaustion of his efforts. Never being intimidated by the amount of money or resources an adversary may possess, if Ian believes his cause is worth pursuing, or that his voice must be heard, little or nothing gets in his way. The battle will be long over before Ian gets off the field. Call Ian up, get to know the guy. Let him stand up for you, if you cannot stand up for yourself.
