About Me

You don't need an unlimited budget to get quality legal protection.

I help small businesses, entrepreneurs, artists, and other under represented clients get peace of mind with any legal issues they encounter.

I’ve worked with huge clients on lending arrangements, purchases, sales and securitizations of assets ranging from intellectual property royalties to mortgages to automobile leases. I’ve also worked with small production companies, app developers, artists selling rights to their works and film students raising every cent possible to get their vision off the ground.

I’ve started this firm to address three unfortunate stereotypes about the legal industry: it’s expensive, inefficient and intimidating.

After working at “big law” firms in New York City, I saw legal bills racked up by clients with deep pockets. I recognize that most clients have a limited budget, and legal fees may not be a top priority. I want to show you that legal protection should be part of the foundation of any successful endeavor, no matter the budget. To that end, I aim to keep you well-informed about the status of your bill to ensure that there are no surprises. Initial consultations are free, and you will know from the outset how much time and resources I anticipate a matter to require

 

Big law firms are powerful, but slow moving beasts. It can be difficult for a client to understand the status of their matter, who is handling it, and just where, exactly, their legal fees are going. When you work with me, you get just that: me. I won’t hand your matter off to a less experienced or involved lawyer. As for where your fees are going – with an almost entirely digital practice, my rates are lower, while remaining flexible and ready to take on clients in any part of the world.

Finally, getting legal advice should not be intimidating. Unfortunately for lawyers, many stereotypes precede us, because unfortunately for clients, they’re often true. This may create a tension between lawyer and client. A client may wonder how their lawyer is taking advantage of them, and may even conclude they’re better off without one. I want to change that, by working together to solve your problems and achieve your goals. If you’re not happy, then I haven’t done my job. 

Your success is my success.
