Aggressive, Bakersfield criminal defense and DUI Lawyer.
Even though I chose to become an attorney as my second career, I have been helping people and serving this great community my entire adult life. I began as a paramedic primarily working in East Bakersfield. I later moved into upper management for the ambulance company and oversaw the management of several emergency and nonemergency ambulance companies throughout the state. Ultimately I became the program director and flight paramedic for the local medivac helicopter were I could serve the critically ill and injured in Kern and the surrounding counties. My lifelong dedication to service has followed me to my law carreer and I will FIGHT TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS!
