Biography

I began my legal career as a juvenile dependency attorney.
I spent nearly five years working full-time for dependency parents and children. That experience taught me how to be a strong and compassionate advocate, both in the courtroom and out.

When Child Protective Services are involved, it is crucial to have a skilled dependency attorney working for you. The same goes for a family law case where you finances and valuable time with your children are at risk.

Whether it's a juvenile dependency case or a family law matter, you deserve the time and attention necessary to ease your fears about the process and guide you to a successful resolution.

If you hire me, you will receive the special attention you deserve.
