Biography
Providing high quality legal representation to a wide range of clients throughout the greater Los Angeles area since 1993. I offer reasonable and highly competitive hourly rates where applicable. Prenuptial Agreements and Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDRO) are expertly prepared for one flat fee. The best interests of the children are the focus of the courts and of my law practice. Once your family law matter has resolved, you will not be abandoned. If modifications of any support, child custody or visitation orders are needed in the future, contact my office to reopen your file. I was recently asked what types of medical malpractice cases I am willing to take. My answer? I take good cases. Unlike most other personal injury lawyers, I get the records reviewed by a qualified expert up front before any letters are sent or any case is filed. If I agree to take your case it's because I know it's good and I can make you money.

- Q. I filed for divorce; will the court handle all proceedings automatically?
- A: Absolutely not. It is up to you and the other party to take whatever steps are necessary to move your case forward and to its conclusion. There is no automatic anything and you should certainly have no expectation that the matter will conclude on its own or "automatically" within 18 months. It sounds to me like you really need to retain an attorney to assist you with your dissolution case.
- Q. What would be the best type of lawsuit over my daughter's death?
- A: It would be wrongful death resulting from medical malpractice. Your problem however is the fact that there is no treatment for abnormal or marginal cord placement. To have a claim based on malpractice, you would have to prove malpractice caused the injury (i.e. your daughter's death). If the death would have occurred even in the absence of negligence, you don't have a case. With abnormal or marginal cord placement, the standard of care requires close monitoring of the pregnancy and in some cases, cesarean section. In your case, if the diagnosis was missed, then you would not have had the benefit of the required close monitoring. Again, however, whether that would have changed ... Read More
- Q. Seeking Wife's Address for IEP and Custody Concerns
- A: Domestic Violence shelters' locations are typically kept secret for the protection of their residents. There's nothing you can do about that and you shouldn't try. As you clearly already have court orders, Mom must have an address "of record". That would be the address she used/uses on her court documents. That's where you would serve her if you want to take any action to compel her to disclose the location of the minor child. You say you have a court ordered 50/50 parenting plan. How are you exercising your custodial time if you don't know where the child is? If Mom is keeping you from him, then she is in contempt of court orders. As your child is only ... Read More
