About Arasto

I was born and raised in San Jose. I graduated from law school in May of 2010 and passed the California State Bar examination two months later in July. Since that date, I have devoted my practice to protecting consumers. My office consists of three attorneys and two support staff. We pride ourselves in treating all clients like family.
