Attorney Biography

I have been named a Super Lawyer from 2007 through 2014, which is awarded to the top 5% of lawyers in Northern California.

As an attorney it is my goal to help my client through a difficult process as quickly and inexpensively as possible while still making sure my client receives a fair and reasonable settlement. I am willing to mediate a matter or use the colloborative model. Most cases settle but if they do not settle because of disagreement or a party is being unreasonable then litigation becomes necessary. I am an experienced trial lawyer and prepared to fully litigate a matter.
