Attorney Information

Overview

My love of food and hospitality has driven my professional life. Once I was sixteen, I started working full-time in restaurants and making my way through the brigade de cuisine, until I was an executive chef in my mid-twenties. I was able to work with some of Buffalo’s earliest pioneering restaurateurs, designing several establishments from the front to the back of the house. During this time, I was honored with an invitation to cook at the famed James Beard House. I eventually headed down South, as far as Puerto Rico, and opened restaurants in South Beach, Miami, and finally Atlanta, Georgia.

Once in Atlanta, I “retired” from working in kitchens (albeit only briefly), and studied English and Philosophy, then moved to Queens, New York, to get my law degree and a Masters in Bankruptcy. While in New York, I was able to work on several high-profile cases, including the Chapter 11 cases of General Motors, American Airlines, and Reader’s Digest, and eventually represented the trustee recovering the billions lost in the Bernie Madoff ponzi scheme. I have since moved back to Buffalo, where I apply my big firm experience and attention to detail to help individuals, start-ups, and corporations, focusing on the people practicing culinary arts and working in the hospitality industry. I am a proud father to my daughter, Isabella Mariposa, and I continue to enjoy my time in the kitchen by volunteering to cook for friends, family, and charities.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

How long have you been in practice?
How many cases like mine have you handled?
How often do you settle cases out of court?
What are your fees and costs?
What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
