I have served as a trial attorney for the Riverside Public Defenders office since January of 2008. I have completed, to verdict, approximately 13 trials. I have also conducted numerous Preliminary Hearing examinations. My trial stats include four total acquittals; and in only two of the 13 trials was the District Attorney ever able to convict my Client as charged (In all other contexts my Clients were only convicted on a portion of the charges or lesser included offenses.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
