I am an adult guardianship attorney in New York City and author of the Adult Guardianship Law Blog, which covers adult guardianship law in New York State and nationwide.

I routinely represent guardians and petitioners in proceedings for the appointment of a guardian (contested and uncontested). I have also represented alleged incapacitated persons and incapacitated persons, and have served as court evaluator and an independent court-appointed guardian.

I have made the following presentations, and have taught the following continuing legal education courses, on adult guardianship and mental health law:

My article, Obviating the Need for Guardianship With Powers of Attorney: It’s Not as Easy as You Think, is published in the New York State Bar Association’s Elder Law and Special Needs Journal.

I am certified by Part 36 of the Rules of the Chief Judge to serve as Attorney for the Guardian, Guardian, Attorney for the Alleged Incapacitated Person, Court Evaluator, and a Supplemental Needs Trustee.

Prior to my career as an attorney, I worked as a political reporter for Politicker.com, providing political coverage from the floors of the 2008 Republican and Democratic National Conventions. Following my departure, I was lauded as an “omnipresent” reporter by the Baltimore Sun.

I live and work in New York City and practice throughout the entire state of New York.
