I came to the Law Department just after graduating from law
school, and quickly was permitted to take on significant responsibility in
a wide variety of matters. I've worked on affirmative environmental
cases of all sizes, from administrative proceedings before the City's
Environmental Control Board to a federal product liability action against
ExxonMobil for MTBE contamination of groundwater that resulted in a $104
million jury verdict. On the other hand, I also defend City agencies
who allegedly cause contamination or fail to adequately review the
environmental impacts of a project (ranging from a homeless shelter to the
Willets Point Development Plan). I've advised City agencies on clean
heating oil legislation and other PlaNYC sustainability efforts, spoken
before the Village Planning Board of an upstate community about potential
risks to the City's drinking water supply, and participated in the City's
response to the proposed listing of Newtown Creek as a Superfund
site. The list of interesting experiences could go on, but more
importantly, the people in my Division are smart, dedicated, and
tremendously supportive.
