Kevin established his own law practice in 1990 after associations with major Wall Street and midtown law firms. He was eager to build a general practice which now focuses on commercial, estate, real estate and corporate law. His experience litigating a broad spectrum of disputes provided him with the tools to properly advise clients on how to prevent such disputes, whether negotiating a contract, preparing an estate plan or buying or selling a home. In addition to acting as general counsel for businesses and nonprofits, Kevin frequently volunteers his time on behalf of a variety of community and professional organizations.
