Licensed in the District of Columbia and Missouri, he is a Certified Regulatory Compliance Manager (CRCM). Devin holds a J.D. from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law.
“I’ve worked with Devin for a number of years, and I’m excited to bring him onboard,” said Jeff Barringer, Member (Partner) in McGlinchey’s Albany office. “His deep understanding of consumer finance regulation, particularly in the areas of licensing and data privacy, will enhance our team’s deep bench in these areas. Especially as we find ourselves in unprecedented times, we’re proud to have an attorney of Devin’s caliber serving our clients.”
