I was born in New Rochelle, New York, in 1976, I grew up mostly in the small town of Hopewell Junction, NY. Tired of the cold winters, I moved to South Florida in 1999 and made it my home. I now live in Palm Beach Gardens with my wife Jessica, our three children and our five dogs. I am the first person in my family to become a lawyer. I graduated magna cum laude from Florida Atlantic University and went to law school at Nova Southeastern University. I first started practicing for an insurance defense law firm. Two years into practice, I left the darkside and opened my first plaintiff’s law firm. Since that time, I've secured over $295M in verdicts and settlements, including a record $92.3 million in Gadson v. Ed Smith Construction and a $100 million award in a sexual abuse case involving a U.S. figure skating coach. When I’m not in trial, you’ll find me watching the Florida Panthers play ice hockey or flying my plane around Florida.
