Biography

About 40% of my practice is in Veteran?s Law and I represent veterans in claims before the Veterans Administration and the Court of Appeal for Veterans Claims in Washington, DC. I also give a significant amount of pro bono time to veterans whose legal problems are interfering with their eligibility for VA treatment.

I also represent (i) injured people with personal injury claims, (ii) disability, probate and family matters, as well as (iii) inmates with civil rights claims.

I also specialize in Non-Profit Governance as a Professional Registered Parliamentarian, whereby I advise clients on Bylaws, Meeting Planning and Procedure, and Internal Policy Development.

Most days I really enjoy my work!
