In practice for over 44 years centered in the San Francisco Bay Area. I take pride living and working in this community directly with people of all walks of life who come to me seeking legal advice.
I have raised my three children as a single parent and have experienced the joys and tribulations of parenthood in the complex financial and social environments that we live in. I am proud to say that they have distinguished themselves and served the community through legal and military service.
I have committed myself to a lifetime of service to our community. I feel it is a privilege and duty to be available to you during your time of need. No matter what your legal needs are, I hope to be an advocate for you.
