What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?
I encourage those clients who wish to educate themselves on their legal issues to do so, but I remain available to answer any questions they may have.
Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?
Yes.
Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?
Yes.
Why did you decide to be a lawyer?
I wanted to make my living helping people.
What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?
I received an excellent education from U.C. Davis School of Law. I have since successfuly handled hundreds of cases including dozens tried to a judge and several tried to a jury.
Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?
Insurance companies are supposed to spread risk among the population and help those who suffer losses. In my experience, far too often, insurance companies attempt to take advantage of people in their time of need. I began to focus on personal injury clients to help prevent that abuse.
What do you like best about your career?
I love to level the playing field between individuals and large corporations who would otherwise take advantage of them.
