His efforts have resulted in millions of dollars in settlements, offering essential financial relief to those affected by asbestos exposure.

He joined Early, Lucarelli, Sweeney & Meisenkothen in 2004 and was named a partner in 2018. Licensed to practice in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, he manages the firm's practices in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

His professional excellence has been recognized by the Super Lawyers rating service, which named him a “Rising Star,” a distinction awarded to no more than 2.5% of attorneys in each state.
