What is your opinion regarding clients educating themselves on legal issues?

The more the client knows, the better they can grasp what the process is and how to survive an often grueling process.

Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?

I do not review documents prepared by clients.

Are you willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves?

I often talk to clients about whether they need an attorney at all. There are many times that people can represent themselves and do not need an attorney.

Why did you decide to be a lawyer?

I chose law because of the intellectual discipline that I thought would enrich my world view and help me help others.

What work experience and education helps you be a better lawyer?

I represent people from all walks of life, from all educational, cultural and economic circumstances. This has helped broaden my perspective about the kinds of people who come before the court and what their expectations are.

Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?

I chose this area of law because it allows me the chance to defend people's constitutional rights when I go to court.

What do you like best about your career?

Representing the Constitution of the United States every time I step into the courtroom.

Tell us about your law firm:

I am a sole practitioner and have a great staff who understands that I take my responsibilities seriously and work to achieve my clients' goals.

What are your strengths and style?

I have many excellent relationships with Judges and prosecutors through my many years trying cases throughout Southern California. When the District Attorney knows you will go to trial, your client stands a better chance of an excellent outcome.

Personal Interests:

Your case is the most important concern on your mind. Count on me to take your concerns to heart and provide you with the finest representation. Also, when I'm not in court, I love to spend time with my family.
