I have worked in a dozen fields of law over my career of 44 years. Mostly I was a business trial lawyer, but now I only advise and handle transactions: no trials. I am semiretired but come to the office most days.

I help clients with appellate cases including preparation for appeals at the trial level, record preparation and assembly, as well as briefing and oral argument. I have successfully handled numerous trust and estate appeals, business litigation appeals, and property litigation appeals. I am based in San Jose, CA and one of the appeals I successfully has been published in in numerous practice guides and other court of appeals decisions.

Straight talk is good business. I will explain your options, then you decide what to do. My job is to anticipate potential problems and suggest strategies for accomplishing your goals.
