About Barbara
Biography
When first admitted to practice, I was an active criminal defense attorney with the New Hampshire Public Defender's Office. Following this, I stayed home with children, while holding two other positions as an attorney at different times. We relocated to California, where I stayed home with children, before becoming a licensed California attorney. I have had a solo law practice representing children and parents since 2005, with two-and-a-half years off between 2011 and 2014. In addition to being an attorney, I have served on a local school board and held many volunteer positions.
