Bio
Lawyer, fighter for democracy, entrepreneur, advocate for innovators and creators. Reinventing legal services in the post-Covid world with the first all-remote, all-digital team of counsel -- MainStreet.law, serving the tech and digital media industries (especially climate tech, software, life sciences, and social media and the creator economy).
I prosecuted Trump University while at the NY AG -- and am now a pro-democracy activist and commentator on Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, and elsewhere, defending the rule of law against fraud, corruption, and fascism. And I'm a legal commentator at MSNBC, CNN, and many other wonderful outlets.
I'm passionate about
Democracy, mountains, cities, music, sports, black coffee, the internet, history, underdogs, good UX design, the rule of law, increasing scientific research, and, evidently, lists
An idea worth spreading
Nothing else we care about will happen -- fighting climate change, winning major advances in medicine, improving education, lifting people up -- if we lose democracy and the rule of law.
