About Michael
From an early age, I knew I wanted to pursue a career where I could serve the public in some capacity. My father was my ultimate inspiration to devote my life to serving others. As a criminal defense attorney, he showed me how one individual could make a difference by advocating for the voiceless. Given his busy schedule, I found that we spent most of our time together on the weekends. Our Saturdays were usually spent running errands around town. No matter what store or town we were in, someone would always stop my father to chat. After a while, I realized that most of these people were my father’s former or current clients. Some had questions, and others simply wanted to catch up, but the indisputable positive impact his guidance had on these individuals’ lives was apparent. My father’s commitment and passion for being an advocate ignited my drive to do the same.
Family has always been central in my life. My parents instilled in me the belief that, when all else fails, you can trust and rely on family. I am lucky to have three siblings, who are also my best friends. My core familial values, coupled with my observations of my father in the legal profession, led me to pursue a career in family law.
I grew up in Weedsport, New York, a small town west of Syracuse, New York. I am a huge Syracuse Orange and Boston sports fan. In my free time, I enjoy skiing, golfing, and spending time with my family and friends. I now live in Fairfield, Connecticut, as after watching my father over the years, I believe in being part of the community where I practice law.
