Legal Services & Lawyers

In these difficult economic times, my practice focuses on representing consumers in landlord/tenant conflicts, collections actions, and Chapter 7 bankruptcies. On the business side, I have advised employers, set up LLCs and protected bloggers against cease-and-desist orders.

Some recent cases:
* Numerous win-win settlements in landlord/tenant cases.
* I'm currently involved in suing several landlords who rented grossly uninhabitable premises.
* Consumer credit defense.
* Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

I have always felt that my experience in working my way through school
and other life experiences have helped me to be flexible and creative in
my approach to life, business and the law. In addition, my actual legal
work experience spans more than ten years and encompasses a wide
variety of legal areas.

I moved to Sonoma just before starting High School and love the area. I
worked my way through Santa Rosa Junior College, where I graduated
with honors, and Sonoma State University, where I graduated cum
laude. I finally left the area, but not very far, to attend the University of
Pacific McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. I graduated and joined
the State Bar of California in 2001. I finally moved back to Sonoma after
working in the Sacramento area for several years.
