I am an attorney, educator, and writer who has been practicing law in Massachusetts for 25 years. I have a J.D. from Yale Law School and a Ph.D. in English Literature from Columbia University. I have worked in large firms, small firms, and in the court system, most recently as Senior Attorney at the Supreme Judicial Court and Deputy Advisor to the Trial Court for Access to Justice Initiatives. I believe that law is our common language of rights and responsibilities. It is a language that is--or should be--available to everyone. Let me help you find your most persuasive legal voice.
