General Biography

I have practiced in commercial litigation, civil litigation, and employment law since 2001. I was also a public defender at The Legal Aid Society for one year so have some criminal experience. I have also been an Arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association’s No-Fault division since 2017. Most recently, I became certified as a mediator with the New York Peace Institute. I took the basic mediation training in 2022 and took advanced commercial mediation training with NYCLA in 2023. I have also conducted mediations for Creatives Rebuilt New York, an organization that provides grants to arts organizations in New York State.

I have been a member of the Muslim Bar Association as well as the South Asian Bar Association since 2007. I have also worked in a diverse range of legal jobs, from working with large corporations at a Wall Street law firm, to working with indigent defendants. I believe this diverse experience gives me a unique perspective when listening to disputes and trying to help find solutions.

I have mediated cases with Creative Rebuild New York. These cases have primarily involved employment disputes. I have also arbitrated insurance cases since 2017. While arbitration is different from mediation, it has given me the opportunity to hear various types of disputes, evaluate evidence, and hear from a variety of litigants.
