My clients know I treat every matter as if it’s my own. I bring unwavering commitment, clear communication, and a willingness to do whatever it takes—legally, strategically, and practically—to get the best results possible. That mindset was forged early in my career, when I practiced law in Israel and advised on some of the country’s largest real estate transactions, often working directly with top-tier U.S. attorneys. Today, I bring that same level of precision, urgency, and client-first focus to every deal and dispute I handle in New York.
