I am a practicing lawyer and also hold a California real estate broker’s license and I am a registered patent attorney with the US Patent and Trademark Office.

My practice covers many areas of commercial law, with specific emphasis on corporate and partnership disputes, real estate transactions and litigation, and business formation and transactional agreements. Over more than 40 years of practice, my experience covers a wide variety of industries, nationalities, and issues ranging from the mundane to the extraordinary, especially in my litigation and corporate governance practice. These industries include retail, restaurants, manufacturing such as the plastics industry, aerospace related industries, banking, provisions to common carriers, financing, homeowners associations, and many, many others. I attended numerous Boards of Directors meetings, obtained the appointment of provisional directors, and handled various types of appraisal issues in both the corporate setting and real estate matters.

I served as a judge pro tem for 10 years, an arbitrator, a mediator and attended training for those roles.

I also provided extensive service to various types of non-profit activities, including our public schools.

I earned my AB in physics from Columbia University in NYC and my law degree from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C.

Finally, for over 30 years my firms actively participated through my efforts in international lawyer referral networks including Lawyers Associated Worldwide and IR Global. LAW’s member firms (lawyers and other consultants) hail from 100 firms in 50+ jurisdictions and IR Global covers 155+ jurisdictions engaging over 1000 professionals spanning 60 practice areas.
