I am the owner and managing attorney for Pacific Point Defense. The firm focuses on criminal law and personal injury. I have handled everything from complex second strike cases to simple misdemeanors, though most of my practice is devoted to DUIs.  I enjoy my line of work immensely and love to take on a new challenging case.  I pride myself on being a thorough and effective negotiator and an accessible counselor. Before going into private practice, I gained invaluable experience as a public defender. I am a trial attorne to my core. There is no leverage in negotiating a case if an attorney doesn't understand what the implications of trial would be and isn't prepared to take the case all the way if necessary.
