He earned his J.D. from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, in 2015 and his B.S., cum laude, from California State University in 2011.

Alyssa C. Hughes, an associate in our Indianapolis office, assists clients and advocates for their needs, which are primarily in the areas of commercial litigation, tort litigation, and premises liability litigation. Hughes gained experience at law firms in Indianapolis and as an intern at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in Phoenix.

Jessica L. Reiss, an associate in our Indianapolis office, has considerable interest and depth of knowledge in environmental law.

Her experience allows her to advise clients with a wide range of environmental issues.

Reiss earned her J.D. from Vermont Law School, magna cum laude, in 2011 where she was the managing editor and staff editor of the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law. She earned her B.A. from Ball State University in 2004.

To say that Daniel Seikaly, of counsel based in our Washington, D.C., office, has had a distinguished career dealing with white collar, fraud and national security issues would be an understatement. Seikaly brings more than 30 years of experience in civil and criminal law – both in private practice and in the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the CIA – to bear for his clients.

He earned his J.D. from Wayne State University Law School in 1970 and his B.A. from Michigan State University in 1967.

Oren Tepper, an associate in our Los Angeles office, represents borrowers and lenders in connection with the negotiation and documentation of permanent and mezzanine financing, as well as in the purchase, sale, and leasing of commercial real estate with a focus on multifamily properties and shopping centers.
