I ran two robust court programs in NY Civil Court (in Queens, Staten Island and later Brooklyn) that were created by the Office of Court Administration. This involved recruiting, training and supervising the staffing for these programs and acting as a liaison with the Chief Administrative Judges to continuously improve and expand our programatic goals. I conducted CLEs, I created consumer-related web content and I advanced the policy goals of our consumer debt team by working with other advocates in the New York City community at large. I also carried a large in-house docket of consumer-related cases which had a heavy motion practice, I handled all aspects of hearings and trials and I did appellate work, including perfecting appeals and arguing before the Appellate Court. I also handled all phases of fling Chapter 7 bankruptcies on behalf of indigent persons, including petitions, motions and appearances. Other relevant experience: As a 3L in law school I litigated a case on behalf of a domestic worker in the Eastern District of New York under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), New York labor laws, and common law. In conjunction with this case, I presented oral arguments to the presiding Magistrate Judge, I conducted depositions of defendants and third party witnesses, I drafted and amended pleadings and motions and I regularly interviewed clients (using an interpreter) to continue developing the litigation strategy. While in law school I also worked as an intern at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

This experience is invaluable because it provides a practical understanding of issues that help shape and develop successful litigation positions and strategies. Simply put, I make deals and, when necessary, know how to litigate to enforce clients' rights. I have been involved in a wide spectrum of transaction and litigation matters, some of which can be described as bet the company matters. These matters include corporate restructuring, bankruptcy and creditors' rights, distressed M&A, asset sales, transactional advisory and risk analysis, commercial litigation and real estate finance. From an industry perspective I have represented entities involved in the following businesses: airlines, chemicals, insurance, defense, drugs, equipment leasing & financing, healthcare, hedge funds, financial services, hospitality, manufacturing, real estate, software, minerals and mining, media and publishing, retail, real estate finance and telecommunications.

My experiences taught me that litigation may arise from numerous and various facts and circumstances, most often driven by economic and emotional factors; but resolution comes when the involved parties see past those motivational factors and recognize that a pragmatic solution exists which, while perhaps not optimal, is preferential to the continued cost, uncertainty, risk and delay which accompanies having the dispute decided by a third-party decision-maker, whether that be a judge, jury, arbitrator(s) or government agency. As a litigation manager I learned that, whenever possible, it is far better to take control of the dispute and resolve the litigation as early as possible, thus avoiding the continually escalating fees and costs and the risk of worse-case scenarios and, importantly, letting people get back to important business and personal pursuits. I believe that, as long as a party has a realistic understanding of the dispute and what it needs to resolve it, an early, acceptable resolution is often preferable to litigating to \"the win.\" My goal as a mediator is to explore and understand the cause of the dispute, the parties' perceptions of the dispute, the facts and evidence on which they intend to rely, and to make sure that each understands the risks and cost they face pursuing litigation compared to the possible benefits of a negotiated settlement. I then facilitate dialogue between the parties helping them to explore workable solutions - while recognizing and respecting that the dispute is the parties' and, in the end, it is their responsibility and right to decide what they each need and what solutions they can or wil","state":"NY","specialty":"Bankruptcy Law
