Please note that I am no longer in private practice. However, if you are a low income Orange County resident, you may request an appointment with me by contacting Public Law Center at.
My practice as an attorney aligns with my personal mantra of “every individual has a story, and everyone deserves to be heard.”
Although I practice all aspects of family law, including divorce, parentage, custody, visitation, and support, my concentration is on domestic violence restraining orders. In the last three years, I have assisted over 100 petitioners and am a certified domestic violence victim advocate.
I believe in zealous representation of clients. The court process can feel overwhelming, and many people feel voiceless at a time when their most precious treasures are at stake – their children, their families, and their autonomy. However, there is another way.
If you have a family law matter, I would like to hear your story, convey that story to the court in a compelling way, and protect what you value.
Every individual has a story, and everyone deserves to be heard.

Very competent and caring
I had a really complicated situation with my custody and divorce (who doesn't right?). I was dealing with a lot of anger and such which brought out a side of me I'm not proud of.
