My Legal Practice

I represent employees who have experienced labor and civil rights violations, and I am committed to fighting for my clients’ rights, seeking justice, and holding bad actors accountable.

It takes great courage for clients to speak up against powerful corporations and institutions. Clients turn to us during challenging times, where their rights and their livelihoods have been threatened. I bring care and patience to ensure my clients’ stories are heard, and help navigate complex legal systems to achieve justice and equity.

My Story

As a public interest attorney, I have dedicated my career in service of others. During law school, I represented low-income clients and individuals facing disability discrimination through Cardozo’s Bet Tzedek Civil Litigation Clinic. I volunteered with Sanctuary For Families and the Urban Justice Center to provide civil legal services to survivors of domestic violence, and interned for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, where I assisted with civil rights enforcement.

Throughout these diverse experiences, I found that solving problems and serving the needs of the most vulnerable was incredibly rewarding and meaningful.

After law school, I clerked in state and federal court, and worked for a premier full-service New Jersey law firm. I bring my passion and experience to every case, and I am proud to work together with my colleagues to pursue justice for our clients.
