I was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. I have been living in Florida since 1985 and have been residing in Lee County since 1996. I am married to Amy Hawthorne and we have a daughter named Cassandra who recently graduated from the University of Central Florida.
I believe in using a personal approach in my practice. When you hire me, you get me. I am the lawyer you will deal with. You will not be handed off to a paralegal.
I believe in using a compassionate approach to the practice of Family and Criminal Law, with a little Bronx toughness thrown in when needed. Put my experience to work for you.
