Bio

As a litigator who has practiced in both the public and private sectors, as a prosecutor and defense attorney, and in the criminal and civil contexts, I serve my clients with a strategic and practical approach to problem-solving, sound judgment, an innate sense of justice, and a tireless work ethic. My practice includes the representation of businesses, individuals, colleges and universities, and not-for-profit organizations in a range of matters, including government, internal, and Title IX investigations, regulatory inquiries, and civil disputes.  I also have experience monitoring complex organizations for systemic issues and policy review, and I counsel clients proactively regarding risk management and mitigation involving a range of compliance and emerging issues, including those related to employment, sexual misconduct, and discrimination.

I am an alum of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office under the legendary Robert M. Morgenthau, where I was trained to work hard, intelligently, and ethically.  I served as the first Deputy Inspector General for the New York City Police Department in the New York City Department of Investigation, where I helped establish and structure a public office to monitor the nation's largest police force.  In that role, I oversaw a team that investigated problems, published reports, and issued recommendations about important policing issues affecting everyday New Yorkers using a multidisciplinary, data-driven approach.  In private practice, I focus on litigation, internal investigations, and white collar representation, bringing the resources, sophistication, and experience of big-law practice in a more personal and client-centered way.  My practice is diverse but my commitment to my clients is always central. 

In my personal life, I am the proud mother of two young boys, the owner of a loving and energetic pointer, and a weekend warrior who loves running, yoga, savoring the buzz and beauty of New York City, and traveling away from the city when the opportunity arises.
