I am an educator, attorney, and abolitionist, serving overlapping communities of activists, queers, and prisoners. My work includes criminal defense, particularly for those arrested in the course of justice struggles; representation of witnesses before federal grand juries; and advocacy for incarcerated people seeking gender affirming health care.

My practice also includes drafting agency and estate documents — quality of life planning — for individuals and families of all kinds, including queer and polyamorous families.

As an educator, I prioritize legal support and education for social movement groups working toward collective liberation, people in communities targeted by law enforcement, and other attorneys seeking to learn more about the substance and culture of representing radicals.

I am admitted to practice law in New York State and all the Federal District Courts of New York, as well as the District of Columbia, and the Supreme Court of the United States.

I hold degrees from the University of Michigan (BA, 2000), the University of Wisconsin-Madison (MS, Educational Policy Analysis, 2003), and CUNY School of Law (JD, 2012). In addition to ongoing popular legal education, I have taught preschool, high school, and undergraduate Criminal Law at Hunter College. I currently teach the world’s best law students at CUNY School of Law, in classes including First Year Lawyering Seminar; Indigenous Peoples and Colonial Law; Land Defense, Water Protection, and Sacred Sites; and Professional Responsibility. I am a proud member of the National Lawyers Guild.
