I was admitted to the California Bar in 1999 and I advise families and individuals on estate planning matters, including wills, trusts, family partnerships, probate and estate administration matters, as well as trusts and  estate litigation.  I also consult with clients on all aspects of business and transaction law, with an emphasis on representing closely held business entities, including partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies. 

I received my Juris Doctorate from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 1999. I also trained in Tokyo, Japan as part of the Temple University International Law Program. While in Japan, I worked at a legal office where I refined my Japanese language skills and counseled foreign companies on how to establish their businesses in Japan. Prior to law school, I attended Brigham Young University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations and a minor in Japanese.

I taught Business Law at Merced College from 2002 to 2007. I was also a registered securities representative, holding a Series 7 license from 2000 to 2002.

I have spoken to groups throughout California on the topics of estate planning and asset protection. I was also a featured panelist at the Asian American Hotel Owners national conference in Chicago, IL where I spoke on the topic of estate planning.

I am a member of the California Bar Association. I enjoy working and living in Granite Bay, California and attending my children’s sporting events and recitals. I also enjoy fly-fishing, golf, water sports, snow sports and travel.
