I was elected to the Nassau County Court in 2003 after serving as an assistant district attorney and then as a principal court attorney for 10 years prior. I began my judicial career in January 2004 with an assignment in the Nassau County Family Court. That court, like most family courts, was and still is a hectic and overburdened place where people come looking for solutions to real and complex problems. Of all of the courts that I found myself in, it was the rawest, realest of them all. The nearly impossible challenge was to spend the needed time on a particular case or problem, given the sheer volume of matters that would come across my bench on a day to day basis.

I left the bench in 2014 and am now managing partner at Barket Marion Epstein & Kearon in Garden City, New York. It is in that context that I recount the story of my encounter with Naila Amin.
