Florida Civil Trial Lawyer

I represent people and businesses in serious civil disputes.

I started my career as a corporate defense litigator at a major international law firm in Miami, representing exactly the kind of large institutions many of my clients now face. It was rigorous training, and it taught me something that shapes how I practice today: I learned how the other side builds its case, marshals its resources, and wears people down.

I earned a B.F.A. from Syracuse University in 2003 and a Certificate in U.S. Law & Methodologies from the NYU School of Professional Studies in 2005, then my law degree from the University of Florida Levin College of Law in 2009, graduating magna cum laude. After my years in corporate defense, I served as a law clerk to three federal judges in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, an experience that gave me an inside view of how cases are actually decided, not just argued. I went on to become a partner at a boutique litigation firm before founding my own practice in 2019. Over nearly two decades, I’ve litigated and tried cases to verdict in federal court, state court, and arbitration, securing favorable outcomes for my clients.

Since 2024, I have been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America® for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs. Earlier in my career, I was recognized as a Florida Super Lawyers Rising Star (2018–2020) and named to Florida Trend’s Legal Elite (2020–2021).

I built this firm around a simple idea: take a small number of cases I believe in, and give each of them everything it needs. I don’t run a volume practice. You won’t find me on a billboard, and you won’t be one file among hundreds. When I take your case, I am the lawyer preparing it, arguing it, and standing next to you.

I was born in Detroit and have lived in New York City, Germany, Italy, and Japan before settling in Miami, which I now call home. Outside my practice, I serve on the Board of Directors of Crime Stoppers of Miami-Dade and the Florida Keys, an organization dedicated to helping keep our community safe.

Whether you’ve been wronged or you’re facing a serious dispute, and you’re looking for a lawyer who will take your case personally, I’d like to hear from you.
