OC Former Deputy District Attorney Protecting Your Rights in California Criminal & Family Courts
Assertive and Knowledgeable Orange County Former Prosecutor
Through careful negotiation and strategic legal maneuvers, I am dedicated to protecting my clients from day one of our representation. My goal is to save you time, money, and emotional stress by avoiding litigation whenever possible. I work tirelessly to resolve cases outside the courtroom, but if the situation demands it and the other side remains uncooperative, I am prepared to leverage my trial experience to vigorously defend your rights and privacy.

How My Legal Services Stand Out
As an experienced Newport Beach attorney for domestic violence and beyond, I have worked on cases from all different sides. I have significant experience in working in this field both as a law clerk and as an attorney. My prior experience includes working as a prosecutor in the Domestic Violence Vertical Unit as a Felony Deputy District Attorney, where I received insight into handling restraining order matters from both the prosecution and defendant’s side. Mitigation plans are key to resolving these matters in a way that is often cost effective, or if not, we take time and effort to help restore proper boundaries within families whom participate in plans with mental health and other professionals. I now apply the knowledge I gained as a former domestic violence prosecutor to defend against damaging allegations, criminal charges, or help clients, their families, and children find relief by suggesting services and support in concert with our representation.
