Professional Interests

I am an attorney with a specialized interest in the collector car market.  From a very young age I have been involved in the antique and collectible car hobby.  As a true automotive enthusiast, automobile collector and restorer, I work diligently to combat fraud, misrepresentation and unfair transactions on eBay and throughout the hobby.  I am devoted to the education of collectors and car enthusiasts, and I regularly work with other law firms, automotive experts and law enforcement officials across the United States and Canada to actively pursue collector car matters for my clients.  My extensive library of auto reference materials and knowledge of the collector car market have established me as a highly regarded individual, hobbyist and attorney among automotive enthusiasts throughout the country.
