With over 22 years practising law in California, I have had the pleasure of representing clients when they needed a helping hand and sound legal advice.
As a military veteran, I have also been there protecting our military from predatory lenders and abusive creditors. I take special pride in protecting those who serve our country.
While in the Navy, I was an intelligence specialist and learned Russian in my capacity as an analyst. I now use my knowledge of the Russian (and Ukrainian language) to serve clients from the former Soviet Union countries. I frequently travel to Ukraine and Russia providing volunteer work for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The OSCE is a joint European Union and State Department proxy that monitors civil society and free market programs in Eastern Europe, most notably in Ukraine and occupied Crimea.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Houbeck is a compassionate and tireless advocate on behalf of his clients. I have seen him go to bat for them in court, and I am constantly amazed by his tenacious, "go-getter" style. You won't be disappointed by hiring Mr. Houbeck to be your gunslinger against the corporate behemoths.
