Biography

I have dedicated my entire (over 27 years) legal career to serving and helping people who have found themselves in horrible predicaments and legal trouble.

With my specialized training and experience, I help people to not only fix their legal troubles but to give them the hope and the tools to make the necessary life changes to get them on the right path.

Prior to starting my private criminal defense practice in 2021, I was an Orange County California Public Defender where I served for 26 years, handling over 65,500 cases!

My motto is "Caring for Clients and Changing Lives!"

I have made over 100,000 court appearances and conducted 400 hearings and 200 jury and court trials, including serious and complex felonies, misdemeanors, dependency, mental health, juvenile delinquency, and Collaborative Court cases including Veteran Treatment Court, Drug Court, and DUI Court.

As a successful and highly recognized trial attorney, I have delivered countless great results for my clients, and the positive changes I have witnessed in their lives are the fuel that motivates my drive.
