What do you look like?
I am 6 ft 2 and weigh 210 lbs. I have an athletic physique, dark black hair, blue eyes, chiseled features and an imposing presence.
Where are you today and what are you doing?
I live in Miami, Florida where I practice law and advise Fortune 100 companies, global financial institutions and other companies and individuals through “bet the company” litigations, regulatory matters, internal investigations, and corporate crises.
I have often been described as one of the most connected lawyers in the country.
You come face to face with your worse enemy. How do you react?
