Legal Experience
 
I have been practicing  law since 1983, and have handled a wide variety of legal matters. I currently concentrate my practice entirely on Probate and Estate Administration as well as Elder Law and Will and Trust preparation. I was selected as the Washington DC attorney for several major legal service plans, including those of Chase Manhattan, American Express and Montgomery Ward, helping thousands of satisfied clients with their legal problems.  I have been a participating attorney with AARP, and do volunteer work for the Legal Counsel for the Elderly.

I am licensed to practice law in the District of Columbia and in Maryland, but have handled matters in other jurisdictions such as Virginia, on a pro-hac vice basis when needed.
Practice concentrating in:
In my legal practice, I have taken many cases to trial when necessary, but have settled many hundreds of disputes to the mutual satisfaction of my clients, sometimes involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the process, I have handled cases in such areas of concentration as:
Personal Style
I have developed a friendly, caring style, and treat my clients with the full respect they deserve. I recognize that lawyers are in a service business, where the client is entitled to accessibility, responsiveness, communication, and timeliness, from a lawyer that values his clients.
Education
I received my Law degree from the Washington College of Law at American University in 1980, and also received a BS in Electrical Engineering (1965), and an MS in Industrial Engineering (1968) from Polytechnic University in New York, and have completed several years of advanced study in Operations Research, Management Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science.
Other Professional Experience

I have been a participating attorney with AARP, and do volunteer work for the Legal Counsel for the Elderly. I was selected as the Washington DC attorney for several major legal service plans, including those of Chase Manhattan, American Express and Montgomery Ward.


I was the lead and responsible attorney for the landmark 50 page decision by The District of Columbia Court of Appeals in the case of In Re Mollie Orshansky, 804 A.2d 1077 (2002), resulting in a most favorable decision for Mollie Orshansky, who the Court, appointed counsel, the improperly appointed conservator and guardian, and the District of Columbia Adult Protective Services were all fighting to force into a nursing home in DC, away from her family in New York, against her expressed wishes, showing the value of a properly executed power of attorney, and following the strict requirements of the Law.


I have worked with a number of industries and trade associations, in resolving technical problems, including the electronics, glass, Ship building, Computer Systems, as well as the air and space craft industries.
