I was born in Moscow and immigrated to the United States when I was six years old. I grew up in Sunnyside, Queens playing stickball on NYC streets and was a big Mets fan. My father worked in a printing company in midtown Manhattan that published magazines like the Heavy Metal magazine Circus among others. My mother worked for Eagle Electric in Long Island City as an engineering aide. We spoke Russian at home and loved to take vacations to a lake in Maine during the summer months. In high school, I was on the debate team competing throughout NYC and continued in college as part of APDA going up against Ted Cruz from Princteon, Austan Goolsbee from Yale, and other top speakers. My favorite debate was a trip from NYC to Stanford where my partner and I made the finals and debated a funny topic about the World Wrestling Federation in front of a large audience. After my undergrad at Vassar College, I backpacked through Europe all summer and started law school at UT Austin in Texas. I am admitted in NY & TX and have been doing plaintiff's personal injury since 1999. I love helping serious injury victims and families. I started a YouTube channel that is growing with over 2 million views. In the year before Covid, I tried nine (9) cases with two seven figure results. I am on a journey to become the best trial lawyer I can be. In my spare time, I play tennis, pickleball, and a little ping pong. My favorite foods are seafood, sushi, and ramen. I am married with 2 kids, a 15 year old boy who can whip me at tennis and a 10 year old girl who is an amazing artist and gymnast. My wife who also plays tennis keeps me balanced and prevents me from overpreparing for trial.
