From Bagdad to Bay Street.

Before I decided to open a “Home Office” in Sag Harbor, I also spent about 10 years on legal assignments overseas.

Q. What sort of work did you do overseas? A. I helped reform financial systems that were crumbling or corrupt... in countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, and South Korea.
Q. When the economic system in Iraq was crumbling, did you go there as well? A. Yes. In 2003, at the request of the Department of Defense.
Q. How has the overseas experience prepared you to be a lawyer on the East End? A. I’ve leaned a thing or two about the importance of building trust... and that lesson is universally useful
