About A.

I have been practicing law for nearly 16 years and graduated at the age of 21 from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2003.

I have represented hundreds and hundreds of clients in all areas of the law ranging from Criminal to Civil and in State and Federal courts.

Aside from operating my own legal practice I have worked for many successful lawyers in both civil litigation and criminal defense. I was also the Sr. V.P. of Business Affairs for CalPOP.com, which at the time was the largest internet data center in Los Angeles.

I love going to trial and winning "not guilty" verdicts for my clients. I have won all manner of trials form civil litigation to attempted murder cases.

 

I enjoy representing clients and helping people in whatever capacity I can - from child custody law, juvenile dependency, DUI court, civil, drug, federal asset seizures and criminal cases.

 

I am known as a workaholic so I can be reached almost anytime on my cell at 909-354-9478.  I look forward to hearing from you!

      Best custody attorney in SoCal!

      Posted by

      Aniko really came through for me! I highly recommend her. She really fought for me in court, and helped resolve a tough custody battle for me. I could not be happier! Not only did she come through for me, but she was also great with communicating with me throughout the whole process.

      Very cordial Lawyer

      Posted by

      She is a very very cordial and praiseworthy lawyer I have ever hired. I was in a trouble three months ago. Then I consulted with her and eventually hired her. She handled the case not as a lawyer rather as a friend of mine. I recommend her 100% if you need a cordial lawyer. She is also absolutely professional as well. Hope for the best from a real friendly lawyer and solve your problems.

      Aniko kept me out of jail!

      Posted by

      Thanks Aniko! I was worried with my 3rd DUI because I have three kids to feed and I can't afford to be in jail for one minute! I violated probation and people were telling me I was going to be in jail for awhile. I was super scared. They are very quick to respond- Richard was available 24/7 to take my calls. In the end, Aniko was able to get me just a few days of Ankle bracelet - fine whatever! I didn't have to do DUI classes again either! Thanks Aniko & Richard.
