also known as “Dan”
I am a Certified Family Law Specialist and represent clients in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and select matters in the Central Coast and Sacramento area. I work with clients of all background, including business owners, homemakers, those with 7/8 figure wealth, attorneys, doctors, therapists, teachers, and military servicemembers and veterans. I also work with forensic accountants, therapists, mediators, loan officers, real estate agents, and attorneys in other fields to holistically resolve your family law issues. I have a lot of experience in high conflict custody matters, including domestic and international move away, domestic violence, substance abuse, and mental health issues. While I litigate, I settle many of my cases because I maintain good relationships with my fellow family law attorneys, the Court, and other professionals, and work hard to know the facts of your matter so I can quickly work to resolve the matter with your partner/spouse. I strongly believe in the principal of informed consent. You will know where you stand and what decisions you can make so you can make the best choice for yourself and your family.
I love the practice of family law. I know it's an unwanted service, but one that is necessary. People often come to me when they have been victims of abuse, made personal mistakes that have caused an end of a marriage or relationship, or simply have grown apart. It's hard for many people to let go of the past and the end of the relationship and move forward. That is why I work with a variety of family law related experts (financial planners, forensic accountants, life coaches, real estate professionals and therapists) to help you divide assets, heal, and take control of your future and the legacy you want to leave your loved ones.
In my spare time, I enjoy the beach, cooking, hiking, reading, travel, and writing.
4/9/26: The Importance of Staying On Top of Budgeting:
Far too often, I run into couples who divorce that live their lives paycheck to paycheck. Long term marriages, where increases of income are not saved, but are spent. Two, three, four children later, the marriage falls apart, and when I meet with one of the spouses, and as I issue spot, I frequently notice the following:
1) People who could save, but are spending what they earn on discretionary expenses. Or are buying homes and cars they cannot afford.
2) People sell busineses or homes but do not realize the tax consequences and end up with significant IRS/FTB debt.
3) One spouse is in control of the finances, and when the marriage falls apart, their control means they start allocating the money to solely benefit them, and not the marriage/relationship. Debt payments go to their credit card accounts, or for forward for expenses other than other higher revolving debt. They buy a car and incur more debt, versus paying down existing debt.
4) Money gets lost due to addictions (gambling/drug/alcohol abuse).
Obviously, divorce increases expenses. Attorney's are hired. Households are split. This increases costs at the worst time. Some people just give up and decide to put up with their financially abusive partner, and their problems compound when they later have no choice but to divorce.
If you are facing these problems, you should take action to protect yourself, especially if your spouse is not being transparent and is not willing to work you as a couple to resolve your financial problems. Hire a PI if you need to. File for divorce, obtain support orders, and if you must do so, freeze investment accounts. It is difficult to enforce fiduciary duties if no family law case exists.
4/10/26: Kitchenware and Candybars:
Usually pregnancy and the prospect of having a child elicits happiness and hope for the future. But not always. Sometimes partners break up right after the pregnancy is discovered. And some of those people who ended their relationships were abused and their ex partner continues to abuse them. Sometimes the abuse is so bad that the pregnant ex partner has a difficult choice to make. Do I give birth, or do I go to Planned Parenthood and have an abortion and keep my ex partner from ruining the rest of my life? I have had a couple of situations in my career where this was an actual dilemna, and an abortion was carried out. A couple others took their shot and kept the pregnancy going.
The reality for abused partners is facing their abusive ex, year after year. The arduous task of navigating custody and domestic violence issues both during the pregnancy and after birth. The numerous hearings that will occur as the abusive ex partner tries to get more and more time. All the money involved. All the stress involved.
For some women, they keep the pregnancy going for cultural, religious reasons. Others its because they are worried about infertility. The need to keep the pregnancy going outweighs the abuse, and the possibilty of abuse, and they feel that the family court's will provide them enough protection. For those that choose abortion, those possible factors are outweighed by the abuse and the need to protect their mental health, and they are cynical about the family court's ability to protect them.
Abortion is hot button moral issue. Every state has different rules. Some basically outright ban it. In California, abortion is allowed through the first two trimesters, and thereafter can be done to protect the life and health of the mother. In California, we respect the pregnant person's right to choose, and expect their ex partners to respect their decision. Kitchenware and Candybars.
If you have an abusive ex and are pregnant, consider all your options. You are respected here and we will do everything we can to protect you, and we will also respect your right to choose.
4/12/26: Giving Kids Confidence to Believe in Themselves:
Parenting is a challenging but rewarding responsibility. Every kid has a different personality, likes/dislikes, strengths, weaknesses. Some things are harder for kids to do than others.
My son is in karate. He loves/hates it. Karate is a precise sport, especially with the katas where precise movements are required to advance in rank. He struggles with katas. He got behind because he got sick, but I have him caught up now and next week he will earn his blue belt. He had to practice hard. Sometimes practicing for a couple of hours, and learning it bit by bit. He complained a lot! But with encouragement and love and $20 in Roblex, I got him through it. And he believes in himself more after pushing through it.
