About Me
I have been licensed both as an attorney and as a CPA in Maryland for over 30 years. My background is primarily in the practice of law, but also includes five years as a tax partner in a public accounting firm. I received my law degree and MBA summa cum laude from the University of Baltimore in 1993, where I was Editor-in-Chief of Law Review, a member of the Heuisler Honor Society, and recipient of the 1993 Law Faculty Award. I have been teaching professionally since 1989, including four years as an Associate Professor of Accounting and two years as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Law. I have taught or lectured at American University Washington College of Law, the University of Baltimore School of Law, and Dickenson Law of Penn State University. I have also conducted both live and web-based seminars for attorneys, accountants, and business professionals in nearly every state, including presentations to "Fortune 500" companies and "Big Four" accounting firms.
I have published widely on a variety of tax, legal, business, and nonprofit issues. My publications include Borek's Business Planning Manual (MSBA 2022); Contract Drafting and Review for the Maryland Lawyer (3rd ed., MSBA 2020); Legal Issues for Accountants and Auditors (BNA 2015); Hospital Accounting (BNA 2006); and numerous law review articles.
