After spending a summer as an intern at the U.S. Attorneys’ Office in Eastern New York, John quickly realized that criminal law was the perfect fit for him. Shortly thereafter, John was granted a Student Practice Order by the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department that allowed him to represent indigent clients charged with crimes and offenses while still in law school.

Persons caught up in the criminal justice system are up against enormous hurdles. We set out to provide the best representation possible. We are committed to zealously and creatively taking on all criminal and traffic matters no matter how big or small the consequences may be.

John received his Bachelor of Arts from New York University and his Juris Doctorate from Hofstra Law School. At New York University, John was elected and served as President of the Senior Class. At Hofstra Law School John was elected and served as Vice President of the Student Bar Association. In addition, John was awarded membership in a number of prestigious organizations including the Moot Court Association, the Labor & Employment Law Journal, and the Criminal Justice Clinic.
