I have been practicing law as a litigator for over 35 years whereby I have extensive experience in family law, criminal defense, and civil litigation. Over the course of this vast experience I have conducted criminal and civil jury trials as well as complex family law court trials. I have also litigated cases in the higher appellate courts.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, after having received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice Administration, I worked for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office. I acquired expertise in forensic science and criminal identification qualifying me to conduct training in those subjects. On numerous occasions I qualified and testified in court as an expert in the science of fingerprints.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have known Frank for over 10 years and have had the pleasure of working with him as co-counsel on multiple civil cases. Frank is an excellent litigator both inside and outside the Courtroom. Without any reservation, I recommend Frank for any civil litigation or family law matter.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I've known Frank for 32 years. Before becoming an attorney, he worked for the Alameda County Sheriff's Department. That experience combined with his subsequent 32 years of practicing law has given him a broad base of knowledge in the fields of criminal defense, family law, and civil litigation.
