I entered the legal profession following a career as writer and editor, having last worked at HarperCollins Publishers, New York, New York. I moved to Milford, New Jersey, from Detroit, Michigan, age 13, and grew up working at my folks’ bed-and-breakfast, Chestnut Hill on the Delaware. My experiences, including three years in seminary, help me appreciate the varied hardships and uncertainties of ordinary existence. Past stints include dishwasher, caddie, carpet and mattress deliverer, landscaper, pizza deliverer, nursing home worker, security guard, waiter, caregiver, painter, janitor, construction worker, innkeeper, farmhand, reporter, copy-editor, copywriter, grant-writer, Kirkus book reviewer, and editor. I work thoroughly for each of my clients, whether in or out of court; I aim, above all, to bring calm and clarity to them during strange, adversarial times—I aim, that is, to be a true Counselor-at-Law.
