“I Built My Practice Around Listening.”

My path in the law didn't start in a corporate glass tower. It began at Catholic Migration Services in Queens, representing immigrant workers, tenants, and families facing eviction and exploitation.

In that high-stakes environment, I learned a truth that most law schools never teach: Legal strategy is useless if you don't listen to the human being sitting across from you first.

When I transitioned into commercial real estate and business law in New York, I realized that clients were suffering from the exact same problem: attorneys who talk over them, push boilerplate templates, and bill hours without understanding their real problems and objectives.
