Don retired from active military service from the United States Navy as a commissioned officer in 2001 having served in the aviation community and nuclear submarine service. He established his law practice in southeastern Connecticut in 2006. For the past decade he has represented over eight hundred children and parents as a panel attorney for the Office of the Chief Public Defender. In 2012, Don represented an out-of-state, non-custodial Father before the Connecticut Appellate and Supreme Courts regarding the applicability of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), In Re. Emoni W. et. al., 305 Conn. 723 (2012). The Supreme Court held that the ICPC did not apply to out-of-state parents, sustained father’s appeal, and remanded the case to the trial court with the direction to reverse the judgment.
