I have represented thousands of clients throughout the state of California. I am a member of the San Diego County Bar Association and a proud veteran of the United States Army, Reserves and the California Army National Guard.
In 1996 I graduated from the University of California with a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy, and in 1999 I received my juris doctorate from the University of California Hastings College of Law.
Early in my legal career I worked for large multi-national companies, including PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and North American Exchange Company, a division of Lennar Homes. I have been a solo-practitioner for over 13 years representing individuals, and small to medium sized businesses throughout the greater San Diego region.
I have experience addressing client issues related to bankruptcy and insolvency, family law matters, business and corporate issues, litigation, and tax issues.
I understand and recognize people call me to resolve difficult and sensitive legal matters that are overwhelming and stressful. I am compassionate, respectful and provides each client the guidance and direction to achieve the results that matter.

- Q. I signed a lease for six months and want to get out in three. How do I go about that?
- A: Depends on your lease and whether it has an early exit clause and/or a defect that the lease would be rendered invalid. We don’t have enough information to give more specific information- but if neither of the above exists then your best bet may be to negotiate an early exist payment.
- Q. I pay child support to my ex for our daughter, she has sole physical and legal custody of her. Today the judge approved
- A: In order to stop the child support garnishment you need to file for modification of child support and it will only be modified after a court order. Any modification entered after the filing of the request for modification will be retroactive to the date of filing and you will be entitled to a credit and/or reimbursement for over-payment.
- Q. how may I lift a DVRO that requires me to move out of my home while the title is being contested in quiet tile case?
- A: There is insufficient information to determine where you are in the DVRO process - is it a temporary restraining order pending a hearing or has a hearing been held and a restraining order after hearing been entered. If the DVRO is currently temporary then you will need to successfully defend the DVRO at the scheduled hearing, or a subsequent evidentiary hearing if you determine 20 minutes to defend against the temporary.
