I have been successfully trying cases for over ten years. I started my career as prosecutor in a district attorney's office, and stayed there for seven years. In that time I handled cases from misdemeanors including DUI and DWS, to felonies like burglary and Measure 11 assaults.
After leaving that job, I started my own practice focusing on helping individuals with the kinds of problems we all have. I represent people accused of crimes, people in divorces or who have custody disputes and other "regular people" problems.
My cases aren't just a file to me. When I sign up to help someone with a problem, I take the time to get to know who the person is and what is really going on in their lives. I run a small shop to keep my prices down, and to ensure that I have the time to give all the people I work with my personal attention.
