Professional Experience

Need someone to explain complex legal issues, statutes and court cases in plain English? Look no further. A former Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan, I've been working as an award-winning legal reporter for the past 8+ years, writing articles on diverse topics such as fair housing law, shopping center/office building management and Canadian workplace safety and environmental law. I've proven adept at boiling down legal mumbo jumbo into clear and concise language for non-lawyers. A thorough researcher and skilled interviewer, I'm up to the challenge of writing about any and all legal issues.
