How and Why I Practice.

I'm pleased to announce the opening of my practice in Western Loudoun County. This is the community I've chosen to call home, and I'm deeply committed to serving its residents. While Western Loudoun boasts thriving businesses, farms, and a strong sense of community, I've observed a need for greater access to legal services. I firmly believe that legal representation is a fundamental necessity, and I'm dedicated to providing accessible and ethical counsel. My practice is built on the principles of candor and personal integrity, which I believe are essential for delivering effective legal services.

​

First, some background.

​

I'm licensed to practice in Virginia (2019) and Washington, D.C. (2022), and for the past decade, I've helped businesses navigate complex challenges in both the government and private sector. My experience spans a wide range of industries, from international oil and gas to software-as-a-service and shared workspaces, with a fair focus on government contracting, administration, bid support, and requests for equitable adjustment. On top of all of that, I've also supported corporate governance for companies with operations both at home and abroad.

​

What is ethical practice, exactly?

​

Ethical practice, in its essence, is the integration of professional and personal ethics. As an attorney, I am bound by a duty of zealous representation, responsible stewardship of client funds, and an unwavering commitment to my furthering the interests of the law. Beyond these professional obligations, I believe that businesses are integral to the health of our communities, and I am dedicated to supporting their growth and success. In estate planning, my focus is on preserving legacies and ensuring that client priorities are honored. Within family law, I strive to minimize conflict and protect the well-being of all involved, particularly the most vulnerable.

​

So why do I do this?

​​

I'm a product of the New York state family law system and I've been a front row witness to ugly custody and separation proceedings. I've been abused by bad business practices and seen good people put out by poor planning. I've seen families shatter over estates disputes. I've lived the experience of and helped pick up the pieces of life's punching bags. You deserve an attorney who not only knows the law but who knows the sense of isolation and desperation you're fearing. Someone to help you keep your head up, place your priorities front and center, and who has come out the other side still standing. 

​

When we're all on the same page about our values, the work we do together becomes so much more meaningful, lasting, and capable of achieving real, attainable goals. My sincere promise to each and every client is this - I will not lie to you nor will I pretend that reality doesn't exist but I will do everything in my power to ensure that you are given a shield from an often uncompromising and aggressive world. Together, we'll create outcomes that give you and what matters some level of certainty and sanctuary.
