Biography
I have been practicing law in Southern California since 1988 and have successfully tried numerous jury and bench trials to the satisfaction of my clients. I have an unblemished record with the California State Bar. I welcome the opportunity to provide a complimentary consultation to any prospective client and personally meet (or speak on the phone if more convenient) to discuss your legal issue, whether it be related to an insurance dispute, HOA issues, a business dispute, personal injury or an estate planning matter.
