Long before he set foot in a courtroom, this attorney was already drawn to the work of trial lawyers. That early pull led him to Duquesne Law School and into criminal trials that taught him how to read a jury, earn a client’s trust, and speak clearly when it mattered most. Those early cases didn’t just build skill—they shaped the kind of attorney he became.
Meet the attorney behind that drive.
A Career Built In The Courtroom
He’ll tell you he “always wanted to be a lawyer”—a simple statement, but one that reflects a clear sense of purpose. That purpose carried him through Duquesne Law School, through early criminal trials that put him in front of juries fast, and into a practice centered on the people at the heart of every case. Courtroom work, as he sees it, is more than procedure and argument. It means listening carefully, preparing thoroughly, and helping clients make sense of what comes next when an injury or act of negligence has upended their lives. His connection to Duquesne runs across multiple generations of his family—a detail that says something about the long-term roots behind our Pittsburgh-based practice.
