He is proud of his pro bono work, highlighted by the formation of the Alliance To Help Owners Maintain Equity (AT HOME), a group whose advocacy of reform to the District of Columbia’s system for selling real property tax liens led to a front-page investigative series by The Washington Post, and, in turn, the adoption of significant reforms.
