I graduated from the University of Miami Law School (cum laude) in 1989. For the past 28 years, I have been a practicing trial lawyer. My career started as an Assistant State Attorney, working for Janet Reno in the Miami-Dade County State Attorney's Office, where I prosecuted everything from DUI to murder cases. I gained extensive experience in the DUI / Traffic Homicide Division, where I was responsible for determining responsibility through the use of traffic crash analysis and accident reconstruction. While working as an Assistant State Attorney, I gained a great deal of experience in the courtroom, being involved in over 47 jury trials during that time. From 1991 until 1997 I spent time working as an attorney in two large law firms, handling Personal Injury Claims, through settlement or Jury Trial, as well as handling many other types of cases including Criminal Defense Cases.In 1998, I went into private practice and opened my own law office in the Fort Lauderdale / Plantation area. A few years later, I opened my second office in Naples, to better serve my growing list of West Coast clients.
