Originally from Queens, New York, and seasoned in the Midwest, I combine the precision of a subject matter expert with the personalized attention of a boutique practice. I believe in putting the weight of federal consumer protection statutes behind consumers who have been told they have no power.

My extensive background in federal bankruptcy court provided a look “under the hood” of the banking system. I spent years dissecting mortgage statements and credit reports, uncovering the systemic errors that banks hope consumers never notice. Today, I use that deep technical expertise to litigate affirmative claims against those same institutions. I do not run a “volume shop.” I hand-select cases where I believe I can make a significant impact on the law and my client’s life.

Why I Fight Banks

The modern financial system is automated, impersonal, and often broken. When a computer algorithm denies your mortgage modification or freezes your bank account, there is often no human being to talk to. I use the federal court system to force these institutions to answer for their errors.

My philosophy is simple: The law is a tool for leveling the playing field. When a bank violates a federal statute, they should pay for it.

Referrals & Co-Counsel

I partner with other attorneys as co-counsel or accept referrals for consumer litigation, with a primary focus on the Southern District of New York (SDNY). If your client is facing a complex mortgage servicing error, a persistent credit reporting inaccuracy, or an aggressive debt collector, I can provide the federal litigation support needed to turn a problem case into a statutory fee-shifting opportunity.
