You’re here because either you or a loved one needs professional legal help. I have spent over 17 years gathering the knowledge and experience that will make a difference in your case. I haven’t always been a lawyer. I used to be an investigator for the Los Angeles Police Department. Before that, I worked at a bank and at a hotel. I also spent a year as a government contractor in Iraq where I trained Iraqi Police chiefs on things like building searches, keeping track of guns and other inventory, conducting random audits, etc. I have thrown myself into my work. I have had over 20 successful trials and about 5 unsuccessful ones, each one was a learning experience. I have gotten thousands of cases dismissed before trial. My law firm has the tools, the personalities and the passion that your case needs. I am a criminal law specialist, certified in 2018 by the California Board of Legal Specialization. Less than 1% of California attorneys have this designation. It requires real trial experience, hundreds of hours of study, passing a test that half of all attorneys fail, and a perfect record for the California State Bar. I have spent over 100,000 hours at the office, including very late nights and weekends where I barricade myself in the office to finish a motion, an appellate brief, or a trial book (sometimes called a “murder book”). We don’t go to court unprepared. My staff is top-tier. My office manager is a certified paralegal with over 15 years of experience. My associate attorney is a former Orange County prosecutor who has never lost a felony trial. We work tirelessly to get our work done and we do it so that our clients get the result that they want which is usually much better than what the opposing party wants them to get. We do criminal defense, civil litigation, appellate work, post-conviction work (on some cases), juvenile dependency, juvenile delinquency and family law.
