I enjoy being an attorney and helping people and families in need. I began my legal career 19 years ago as an associate in a small plaintiffs' firm that handled a varierty of personal injury cases, including the representation of many women who were sick from the effects of breast implants. In 1998, I became and associate at a larger firm in San Jose and began my work as an insurance defense attorney defending against personal injury cases. I was responsible for hundreds of files and tried many cases to verdict. It was great training and made me a better lawyer. In 2001, I was given the opportunity to leave the larger firm to start a new firm with a few attorneys who had served as my mentors, I was honored. I returned to representing persons who have been injured in accidents, or their heirs. My work is rewarding.
In recent years, I have begun teaching at a local law schoool and also continuing education courses to attorneys throughout Calfornia.
