Great Experience

Patricia is extremely knowledgeable and kind. She was reassuring, especially when I became stressed out as the case moved through the Court system.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2007.

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2007

updated on 07/18/2025

This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Patricia’s comment:

“I purchased a marketing package to help grow my firm. I spoke with a few attorneys who had given testimonials about the package. All said it was very effective and I should follow the directions. One direction was to send out their prepared letters and not to change anything in the letters. I was disciplined because those letters had misleading information about my prior experience. I had no idea I was doing something wrong by sending the letters. I was heartbroken over the whole ordeal.”
