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

​

I grew up in New Jersey before attending 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.  

​

After graduating, I started my career at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, one of the oldest "white shoe" law firms in New York. There, I counseled some of the world's largest Private Equity firms 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. 

​

After working at the right hand of three distinguished federal judges, I returned to New York to the storied 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.  ​
