About Me:
|
20 years a lawyer, mostly a trial lawyer, I like helping people. I practice in areas where local people need help, though I can also consult with out of area attorneys on major fraud cases, which is an area of special interest to me due to my many years as "the fraud guy" for the OCPD. I have been published in small press magazines as a poet, writer and critic.
