About Jean
Biography
Former State Bar Prosecutor with 17 years' experience at every level of State Bar and State Bar Court Proceedings from the moment the complaint is received in Intake through the entire Trial process, including Review. During my 13 years as a prosecutor I helped update the handbook and policy manual for the intake and investigation units in the Office of Chief Trial Counsel. I developed trainings and MCLE for State Bar prosecutors. I have handled thousands of cases. My goal is to resolve your matter confidentially and efficiently. I possess the compassion and wisdom necessary to help you assert your best State Bar defense.

"Jean is one of the most enthusiastic attorney's I've had the pleasure of working with. She not only knows her stuff, she knows enough to learn the things she has not yet encountered.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jean for many years. She had a great reputation as a California State Bar prosecutor. She is now in private practice and brings that same hard work and knowledge to her client's cases. I have always found her to be ethical and extremely hard working. There is not many people that have both the book smarts and the practical experience to be such a strong advocate for their client. Hire her with confidence."
