SOS* - (*Ship of State)
Lawyer-Writer-Second Rounder
Providence, Rhode Island Area

I'm part of the writing team from SOS* - (*Ship of State), a big screen techno-political thriller that made it to the Second Round in the AFF Screenwriting Competition this year. A thirty year veteran trial attorney, for the last decade I have exclusively represented clients with symptoms of severe psychiatric illness who are subject to involuntary hospitalization and treatment. I can't write about my clients, but buy me a beer and I will tell you a lot of interesting stories . . .
