KNOWLEDGEABLE PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE

dollars in judgement and involved post-judgment enforcement litigation
in federal district courts and courts of appeals throughout the country.

Roger Williams University's undergraduate college, Southern New England
School of Law and the University of Massachusetts School of Law, and is
