I began serving others long before I was admitted to practice law in New York in 2008. I served in the Army where I was trained as an infantryman at Ft. Benning, Georgia. During my basic training at Ft. Benning I was selected as a member of the Honor Guard, Presidential Escort to President William Clinton.
After attending Cardozo Law School and studying American Government at Harvard University, I continued my public service in a clerk’s position for the Honorable Arthur A. Alarcon, Judge of the United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
I take the same vigor and commitment to my everyday work. Our approach is you want an attorney who can show compassion for your situation and bring a personalized approach to a resolution to your matter, all while remaining professional and successful in litigation or while negotiating a settlement.
Your interests are always at the heart of arriving to a successful resolution, whether through settlement or litigation. Please call to learn more and see how we can help you.

I asked Lance to stay on my case throughout that 4-year process, during which time my ex fired her att...
