After graduating with a BBA and MBA with majors in finance and accounting, I joined Shell Oil Company and then the old Gulf Oil Company (now Chevron), doing complex business valuations and financial analysis. I gained a wealth of experience in understanding complex problems, developing strategies for solving problems, and presenting those strategies to top management, and then following through on implementing the solutions.

While working with the oil companies I started night law school and fell in love with the law. I started practicing law in 1973 and have handled virtually every variety of problems over the years. I have probably tried 50 plus jury trial, more than 500 trials to the court, and 25 appeals. I have been able to use my skills, wisdom and experience to successfully settle many cases.

I am "AV-Rated" by Martindale-Hubbell, Peer Review Rated for Ethical Standards and Legal Ability.

"AV: The preeminent rating, achievable only after admission to the Bar for at least ten years, indicating the highest level of legal ability and ethics. The pinnacle of professional excellence."
