Biography
While in law school I was a legal extern for an American television and media conglomerate based in Atlanta, Georgia, where I assisted in drafting licensing agreements to obtain the rights to exhibit media content throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Following graduation, my practice has focused on representing individuals and companies in the acquisition, disposition, development, financing and leasing of commercial properties across various asset classes (i.e., multi-family, retail, multi-use, restaurants, shopping centers and hotels).
My favorite aspect of practicing law is assisting clients through difficult challenges by providing pragmatic solutions necessary to accomplish their goals. My greatest strengths as an attorney are: responsiveness; the ability to listen to my client needs; and the fact that I treat each transaction as if it were my own.
Outside of the office, I enjoy volunteering as a youth sports coordinator and spending time with family.
