In 1994 he was appointed by Governor Pataki to head the transition team on environmental issues in New York State. In 1995, he organized a task force to create a "green building" tax credit for New York State which was enacted into law in 1999.

In 1977 he joined the practice of Charles Korn to handle Mr. Korn's estate practice, but soon thereafter was introduced to Mr. Korn's active real estate practice, and in 1982, upon Mr. Korn's closure of his office, he joined the firm of Friedman, Leeds & Shorenstein, representing primarily real estate developers and tax shelter syndicators. After joining McLaughlin & Stern, he was appointed by the New York County Supreme Court to mediate more than twenty cases and successfully settled more than two-thirds of those cases. In addition he has served as an arbitrator on a number of occasions, including a recent AAA panel. Recently, he has become involved in a number of litigations, most of which are real estate related. For his work related to environmental matters, he was named a Super Lawyer in 2009.
