For The Underdog
Championing the Underdog in Legal Battles
Whether I’m defending clients accused of criminal offenses or prosecuting civil cases on behalf of clients who have been wronged by large companies and insurance companies, I am always on the side of the underdog. And that’s the way I want it to be!
Facing the Commonwealth or Federal Prosecutors? I Can Help
In a criminal case, the accuser is almost always the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or in a federal case, the United States of America, both entities with unlimited resources. And those resources are used to prosecute you! You need to level the playing field by hiring an experienced Massachusetts Criminal Defense Lawyer that you can trust.
Taking on Large Companies and Insurance Giants
In a civil case, I battle with large companies, or insurance companies that look down upon my clients, which is how we end up in litigation. Insurance companies think they can bully my clients by throwing money at them, or by threatening to refuse to settle. And many times, it works with some clients. But not with those represented by me. Clients come to me exhausted battling insurance companies and on the verge of giving up. But I am always ready to help and most importantly, ready to battle for what is right.
A Proven Advocate for Justice in Every Case
I thrive on challenging the government and holding it to its burden of proving every offense, no matter how minor beyond a reasonable doubt. I thrive on suing insurance companies and large corporations who think they can bully my clients. Because in my life I have been the underdog, and I know victory is much sweeter as an underdog.
A Rich and Diverse Legal Career
I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, and began my career in Boston, representing clients in personal injury cases, contract disputes, summary process matters, and class action lawsuits. I later moved to Buffalo, New York, where I expanded my practice to include litigation, medical malpractice defense, nursing home defense, employment discrimination defense, and corporate health care law. During that time, I also obtained my law license in my home country of Canada, and practiced law in my home province of Ontario.
Experienced Representation Across Multiple Jurisdictions
Throughout my career, I’ve represented clients in the state courts of New York, Massachusetts, and Ontario, as well as in federal litigation in Massachusetts federal courts, New York federal courts and the First Circuit Court of Appeals. While I have learned a lot in my career, and will continue to learn, my passion for the law has never weaned, and I don’t think it ever will.
Passionate Advocacy Rooted in Experience and Compassion
I have known I wanted to be a lawyer since I was 12 years old, and that has not changed. My passion for the law and my desire to see justice done is what drives me and makes me a compassionate, empathetic, conscientious and hard-working advocate for my clients.
