I have practiced law successfully for over thirty years. I am a graduate of the University of Miami's Schools of Business and Law. In the last twenty years of my practice, I became involved in probate administration and litigation, as well as estate planning, including preparing wills and trusts. I enjoy this work because it is personal, and I can see the impact of my work more clearly. Helping my clients through their legal issues and making a difference in people's lives is what keeps me interested in the practice of law.
I gained valuable experience in my banking career before becoming an attorney. I had the great fortune of beginning my business career with one of the largest banks in the State of Florida. There, I earned the opportunity to work my way up. I was trained as an installment and residential loan officer, a commercial credit analyst, and ultimately a commercial lending officer. In the early phase of my legal practice, I was involved as a business litigator in significant work representing the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) in banking matters. Subsequently, I focused on commercial and business litigation in a variety of areas. In addition to practicing in the state courts of Florida, I am admitted to practice in United States District Courts for the Southern and Middle Districts of Florida.
