As an attorney based in Attleboro, Massachusetts, I specialize in criminal defense and family law across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. I am also a Bristol County Bar Advocate. My practice is grounded in dedication, professionalism, and compassion, aiming for the best outcomes through customized legal strategies.
I earned my Juris Doctor (J.D.) from Suffolk University Law School and studied in the Master of Social Work program at Rhode Island College, complementing my undergraduate education at the University of Rhode Island. Before practicing law, I spent over a decade with the Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth, and Families. This experience sharpened my ability to work under pressure, communicate effectively, and approach cases with empathy. My background in social work provides advanced insights into the human aspects of legal issues, allowing me to advocate more effectively for my clients.
I am a member of several bar associations across Rhode Island and Massachusetts and engage in ongoing professional development. I attend regular trainings to stay current on legal developments and provide high-quality representation to my clients.
