Certified Tutor

I am a long-time teacher (law) and have tutored for bar review and for the LSAT. I have been an attorney since 1987. I am a former assistant district attorney, police attorney for the New York City Police Department, and agency legal specialist for the North Carolina Justice Academy. I have taught criminal procedure, constitutional law, torts, contracts, and criminal law to law students at Concord Law School of Kaplan University. I have provided legal instruction well over a thousand law enforcement officers. I have also taught law at the undergraduate level.

I have a strong interest in making sure that students understand the material, and I will communicate with you to understand which learning style works best.

Outside interests include animal welfare, reading, tennis, and visiting New York City, my "old home town".
