Marisha is an attorney with Family Security Law Group. Marisha began her legal career as a litigator and spent over a decade defending actions against global corporations involving personal injury, business disputes and general negligence claims. While she found litigation exciting and challenging, Marisha also found her role to be very reactionary as clients generally came to her after something negative had occurred. With a desire to provide legal guidance that is both proactive and designed to avoid conflict, Marisha determined that her legal skills were best used helping people plan for the future. Marisha's current practice is devoted to estate planning, probate and trust administration. Her expertise at navigating trust and estate issues on behalf of aging seniors, middle-aged individuals, young families, as well as those who have undergone a divorce or formed a blended family, is an asset to her clients. Marisha’s mission is to compassionately work with her clients to craft customized, innovative solutions to their unique family needs that deliver security and peace of mind.
Marisha graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and a minor in Anthropology. She earned her Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School, where she also served as an articles editor for the Loyola Law Review. Marisha is a frequent speaker on estate planning issues.
In her free time, Marisha loves traveling with her husband and daughter, taking her two miniature dachshunds to the beach, experimenting with new recipes and supporting events sponsored by the Los Angeles City Fire Department, of which her husband is a member.
