Biography
I began my legal career at Dwyer, Black & Lyle, LLP as an associate attorney in 2008 and later became a partner in 2011. The firm was subsequently renamed Black, Lyle & Habberfield, LLP in 2015. I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree from the State University of New York at Brockport and graduated with honors from law school at the State University of New York at Buffalo. I am licensed to practice law in both New York and Pennsylvania. My affiliations include the American Association for Justice, New York State Trial Lawyers Association, Allegany County Bar Association (Pro Bono Committee), Cattaraugus County Bar Association (Continuing Legal Education Committee, Secretary/Treasurer 2012, Vice-President 2013, President 2014, Immediate Past President 2015), University of Buffalo Alumni Association, New York State Bar Association (2012 - 2014 House of Delegates Representative - 8th Judicial District), Pennsylvania Association of Justice, Pennsylvania Bar Association, and American Bar Association. I have been recognized as a "Rising Star" by Superlawyers from 2013 to 2017. Additionally, I serve on the Board of Directors at the Bartlett Country Club, Cattaraugus County United Way (Vice-President 2012, President 2013 - 2014, Immediate Past President 2015-2016), and SPCA Serving Allegany County. I am actively involved with the Saint Bonaventure University Mock Trial team, provide lectures at the SUNY at Buffalo School of Law, and am a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks. In my free time, I am an enthusiastic golfer.
