In 2008 I celebrated my 25th year as a lawyer. Over the years, I’ve tried to keep in mind the words of a mentor who told me, “A client comes to you with a problem that needs to be solved. Anyone can see a client’s problems; but it takes a creative lawyer to find a way over, under, around, or through the barriers.” In more than three decades of lawyering, I’ve honored that mentor’s vision.In 2016 I joined with two other experienced lawyers to form a new law firm in midtown Manhattan. Our law practice focuses on the legal needs of religious organizations: churches, temples, synagogues, mosques, and related institutions.
