Why did you become a lawyer?

I’d always loved the academic side of argumentation – not the yelling and screaming but building a case and a position based on analysis of available facts – and I saw law school as a way to apply that interest and focus towards helping people exercise or defend their rights in society.

Most memorable court room experience?

Hearing the jury announce a verdict in my client’s favor in an asbestos exposure trial in Brooklyn. I was just a couple years out of law school and we’d been working 18-20 hour days for more than a week so seeing it work out in the end and sharing that moment with the client’s widow and children was special.

What are 3 things you couldn’t survive without?

My family, my guitar, and grapefruit-flavored seltzer water.

Favorite Musician or Band?

Killing Joke.

Favorite thing to do on the weekend?

As a lawyer and dad of two, definitely sleep.
