Halper Law grew out of a desire to help individual people solve real problems. ​

​

I grew up in New Jersey before heading down to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University (Go Dores). There, I studied Economics and Classics before proceeding to Stanford Law School, where I benefitted from brilliant professors and classmates and was elected to the managing board of the Stanford Law Review.  

​

Following my time in California, I returned to my East Coast roots to practice at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, one of the oldest "white shoe" law firms in New York. There, I counseled some of the largest Private Equity firms in various matters and learned how to negotiate with both credibility and strength. 

 

I left Simpson to clerk on the federal district court in my home state before moving on to another clerkship at the federal appellate level. Advising on cases involving discrimination under both state and federal statutes allowed me to master the nuances of employment law.

​

After working at the right hand of three distinguished federal judges, I returned to New York to the litigation boutique Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler. My practice focused on plaintiff-side commercial actions, defending major corporations against products-liability claims in both federal and state court, and individual white collar representations.

 

I was also proud to be part of a team that fought against an unconstitutional congressional gerrymander, culminating in a two-week trial in the Northern District of Florida. (Let me know if you ever need a restaurant recommendation in Tallahassee.)​

​

My time at major law firms taught me what it takes to win cases. Now, I turn that experience to your benefit.  ​
