Experienced Advocacy. Strategic Counsel.

With over 15 years of legal experience spanning both military and civilian sectors, I am proud to launch Tese Law, a veteran-owned boutique litigation firm focused on technology, cyber, and criminal law. My mission is to provide exceptional legal representation that combines thorough legal knowledge with strategic thinking and personalized attention.

My Background

I received my Juris Doctor from Brooklyn Law School in 2008 and my Bachelor's degree from Rutgers University in 2002. I am currently licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, and New Jersey—all active and in good standing.

My professional journey has equipped me with extensive experience across multiple legal domains. Most recently, I co-founded Cyber Law Firm, PLLC, and previously served as a Partner at Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC, where I worked in Commercial Litigation, Contract and Emerging Technologies practice groups. Before that, I was Chief Counsel at Letterkenny Army Depot, leading a team of attorneys and managing legal matters for a half-billion dollar manufacturing complex within the U.S. Army.

My career also includes significant experience as Litigation Counsel for Farmers Insurance, where I handled complex products liability, civil fraud, and contract cases. I proudly served in the U.S. Army and Reserve Components for nearly 23 years, with 3 overseas deployments, including 7 years as a Military Intelligence Officer and 13 years as a Judge Advocate General (JAG) attorney, retiring as a Major. During my JAG service, I gained valuable experience as both a military prosecutor and defense counsel, handling complex cases under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) including Attempted Murder, Sexual Assault, Aggravated Assault, Tax Fraud, Theft, Drug and cases involving military specific crimes. This unique combination of intelligence background and diverse legal military service provides me with exceptional investigative insight and strategic thinking that I bring to every case.
