I have been representing small individual and family-owned businesses in Connecticut for more than 30 years in transactions and litigation matters. I have also worked as in-house counsel for a large company overseeing human resource consultants and employment law matters. I've owned several businesses and been involved with start-ups and growth oriented companies. I offer start up and growth companies with affordable corporate counsel service packages which allows the business to have a fractional in-house attorney for all of its legal needs.
