As a New York criminal defense and immigration attorney, I’m fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian, working closely with clients from diverse backgrounds to ensure every voice is heard and respected.

A New York Native with a Global Perspective

Born and raised in New York, I bring a deep understanding of our community—and the legal challenges New Yorkers face. After earning my Bachelor’s Degree from Franklin University Switzerland and my J.D. from Rutgers University Law School–Newark, I returned home to serve the people of this city.

Proven Experience in New York Courtrooms

My legal career began as an Assistant District Attorney in New York, where I prosecuted cases ranging from theft and assault to drug charges and DWIs. As a Senior Assistant District Attorney, I handled violent felonies, sex crimes, and cyber offenses, and developed key insights through my work in the Integrated Domestic Violence Court, where criminal, family, and immigration law often overlap.

Dedicated to Serving the New York Community

In 2025, I launched my own law firm to deliver personalized, high-quality legal services with a singular goal: to protect the rights and futures of my fellow New Yorkers.

I bring the courtroom confidence of a former prosecutor—and the compassion of someone who believes in second chances. Whether you're seeking a criminal defense attorney in Manhattan, an immigration lawyer in Queens, or a family law advocate in Brooklyn, I’m here to help.
