License Advocates Law Group LLP

2009 - Current

My partners and I operate a specialized law office with a focused mission. We defend California licensed or certified workers—or those who want to be—from discipline against the license, such as revocation or suspension, or from burdensome limitations on “probationary” licenses. We do this work with skill, commitment and dedication, and we do it at “real world” prices, affordable to the good working people who hold these licenses.

As a Managing Senior Assistant City Attorney, I supervised and directed the Office's central civil litigation staff, managing resources and supervising staff of more than 124 attorneys and support personnel who were responsible for defending civil lawsuits. I also provided legal and management advice directly to the Los Angeles City Attorney, City Council, Mayor, executive officers, and numerous City Department boards, commissions and general managers.
