I began my legal career as a Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles County and spent fifteen years there handling thousands of felony and misdemeanor cases.  Over that period, I tried almost 100 cases in front of juries ranging from DUI's to murders and almost everything in between.  The last five years of my time at the DA's office, I specialized in domestic violence, child sexual and physical abuse and human trafficking.  These are the crimes that involve people who are at the most vulnerable time in their lives.  I developed both the interpersonal skills as well as the trial skills that make me uniquely qualified to handle these types of cases as a defense attorney.
