Firm Focus and History
After being a partner at a large Sonoma County firm, I began my own firm in 2003 to concentrate on helping injured people. I represent people who have suffered injury -- physical, economic, emotional -- as a result of someone else's conduct.
Previous Employment Summary
After graduating from law school in 1989, I practiced in Washington, D.C. I moved to California in 1998 and was an associate and then a partner at what was then the largest firm in Sonoma County. I left in 2003 to set up my current office.
