Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. As a native Southern Californian I have seen Orange County grow from a sea of orange groves and small communities into the sprawling county we know today. I have enjoyed being a part of our legal community over the years as our county has grown. I began practicing law in Orange County in 1983 after attending California State University, Fullerton, and Western State University School of Law. During more than 20 years of practice I have had extensive experience trying a variety of cases before judges and juries in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego Counties. In addition to trial work in the areas of personal injury and civil litigation, I handle estate planning matters including wills, trusts, health care directives, durable powers of attorney, conservatorships, guardianships, and litigation related to these areas of law.
