Background and Experience

As a litigator, my focus was legal research and writing. I utilized insights gained from over a decade working in the courts to craft compelling and persuasive arguments.

In my time with the courts, I drafted thousands of orders and opinions at the trial and appellate level. The Courts and Judges I served include the Third Circuit, the Eighth Circuit, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the District of Delaware, the Eastern District of Missouri, and the District of the Virgin Islands. 

 

Through my experience in the courts, I gained invaluable experience and honed an approach that considers all perspectives when evaluating a case.

 

I currently serve the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas as both a Judge Pro Tempore and an Arbitrator.
