From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I finally got admitted to the New Jersey Bar and I am currently working rather unpredictable hours as a contract attorney. Therefore, my presence here will continue to be sporadic, although more so than usual. If it takes me a while to respond to a message left on my talk page, please understand that I cannot always reply quickly. Thank you.
