I have represented closely-held businesses, such as partnerships, family owned businesses and corporations for over 20 years in commercial transactions and litigation before state and federal courts. I have been also served as a Receiver appointed by the Superior Court to oversee a financial business.  I have also served as an attorney for the Bankruptcy Trustees in the United State Bankruptcy Court for Connecticut. Before becoming an attorney, I worked for a national bank as a commercial real estate appraiser. My background in real estate and banking helps with advising clients on property purchases as well as representing them before municipal boards and appeals to superior courts on tax valuation issues. I believe that experiences with business operations and valuation give me a unique perspective in assisting my clients as a corporate advisor and as an advocate.
