Business Savvy Trial Attorney
This lawyer is licensed to practice in California and has no record of discipline from the California bar association. *
After leaving Orange County's largest firm 21 years ago, I formed my own firm to be able to provide outstanding service to my clients. My primary focus is my clients' needs in business litigation and executive compensation issues. Example cases: I had a six-week jury trial involving claims of securities fraud. My most enjoyable case was beating Ford in a jury trial for great clients whose Ford Thunderbird self-ignited while parked in their garage. My most satisfying case was saving the shareholders of a private company from being looted by corrupt executives.

The intellectual challenge keeps it interesting. Litigation allows my competitiveness to be channeled. The executive compensation/employment allows me to counsel some very smart individuals.
I appreciate a client who brings their ideas and views to me. Clients should be well informed.
Of course, I will review documents prepared by clients. Clients have a much better knowledge of the facts than I do. However, we may disagree as to the legal significance of those facts.
I have seen countless individuals get slaughtered in court because they do not know the procedural rules. Judges do not help the unrepresented. Even as a skilled lawyer, I have found it difficult to represent myself. Our emotions make it very hard to be detached enough to represent ourselves.
I worked for five years with Texaco, three years with Rutan & Tucker (Orange County's largest firm), twenty on my own, before joining this partnership.
Before becoming a lawyer, I worked in factories and in bars, in inner cities and in small towns. This enables me to relate to all kinds of people. My formal education at two great universities has been invaluable.
My strength is the ability to penetrate the fog surrounding each case to see clearly the legal issues; strategic thinking and negotiating ability are particular strengths.
I am intense when I need to be; I work incredibly hard to serve my clients. But, I also can relate to my clients and enjoy the opportunity to help them understand what is happening in their case.
My personal interests include serving God, skiing, golfing, and sailing.
