I obtained my law degree in 1987 with honors from the George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Since 1987 until the present, I have been a member of The Florida Bar and have practiced law in large, medium, and small law firms, including as a partner and managing partner, and as a sole practitioner, headquartered in the Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach County regions of Southeastern Florida.
