I am a former Deputy District Attorney and Deputy Public Defender who has litigated thousands of cases, including misdemeanors and felonies. My background includes adult and juvenile cases, as well as serious and violent felonies, including attempted murder, sex crimes, and three-strikes cases. With these experiences, I know the criminal justice system from the inside out.
I am also an experienced civil litigator with a litigation background at a "big law" firm. I later switched sides to sue corporations and other entities or persons (including insurance companies, police departments, governments, and others) on behalf of individuals to obtain justice for my clients. I have seen how corporations and the government fight to protect their interests, and I use those same skills to protect individuals against the injustices inflicted upon them.
I am a member of several prestigious trial and attorney organizations. I am admitted to practice in California. I graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with top honors from college. I later earned my MBA/JD from UCLA. I also have a graduate degree in communications from USC.
