Firm Focus and History

I founded this practice in 2002. It has grown steadily since then representing both employers and employees in litigation matters.

Previous Employment Summary

I was mentored by some of the finest lawyers in the country at the business litigation boutique firm: Mazzarella, Dunwoody & Caldarelli (now Mazzarella Caldarelli). My mentors there were trained at firms including Latham & Watkins, Gray Cary (now DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary), and Luce Forward, among others. I also worked for a large San Diego law firm: Procopio, Cory, Hargreaves & Savitch. Before that I served as a Judicial Extern for United States District Court Judge Thomas J. Whelan in the Southern District of California.

Activities and Awards

None

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

I enjoy working with clients who have educated themselves on legal issues. Such education can often be invaluable to the litigation process.

Are you willing to review documents prepared by clients?

I am very willing to review such documents. In fact, I frequently encourage my clients to prepare chronologies of the events resulting in the litigation.

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

I have worked behind the scenes with clients who need legal advice in connection with representing themselves. I am always willing to consider this as an alternative to more traditional representation.

Why did you decide to be a lawyer?

I have always been an advocate. It was a natural career choice.

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

I have worked for companies ranging from our family business to international corporations and in law firms both large and small. These experiences allow me to understand that the perspective of different business can be vastly different and that each often requires a totally different approach to their litigation needs.

Why did you decide on your primary area of practice?

I find that this field of law is highly engaging and very challenging.

What do you like best about your career?

I enjoy the opportunity to help employers and employees resolve their disputes with one another. I particularly enjoy actual trial work and often am involved in between one and three trials every year.

Tell us about your law firm:

My support staff is always there when I need them with fantastic, fast, and thorough work.

What are your strengths and style?

I have the ability both to understand complex legal topics and to communicate clearly and effectively with a wide range of people. I find this to be particularly important when facing a litigator's most important task, persuading a jury that my client should win the case.

I am aggressive, efficient and ethical.

Personal Interests:

In my leisure time I enjoy snow skiing, spending time with my family and computer games.
