Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers of Pennsylvania, Inc.
I am the Executive Director of Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers of Pennsylvania, Inc. ("LCL"). Since 2011, I have held the position of Deputy Executive Director at LCL, where I was in charge of overseeing the Helpline operations and acted as the primary contact for intervention requests. During my tenure, I expanded LCL's outreach to law schools and increased our presence within the organized Bench and Bar. In my current role as Executive Director, I am responsible for the administrative and financial operations of LCL, as well as overseeing Judges Concerned for Judges, which is a judges’ assistance program.
I have been a licensed attorney in Pennsylvania and New Jersey since 1999. My legal practice spanned from 1999 to 2001 and again from 2009 to 2011, during which I worked in several capacities.
