Business Owner

Making a difference in the lives of people who need help has always been what I have sought to do, both as a lawyer and in the community. Being able to calm the fears of clients who are feeling especially vulnerable after a serious work injury, and offer them solutions and hope, is something that I take pride in being able to do. I take the time to listen to my clients and make sure I understand their situations. I do my best to explain the strange and complicated world of California workers’ compensation law in ways that they can understand.



I feel truly blessed to be able to do the kind of work I love and can get real satisfaction from doing. I feel an obligation to give back to the community, and have therefore given my time to serve as an officer and president of a parent teacher organization, coach youth soccer, and sit as a workers’ compensation judge pro tem.
