With over 22 years practising law in California, I have had the pleasure of representing clients when they needed a helping hand and sound legal advice.

As a military veteran, I have also been there protecting our military from predatory lenders and abusive creditors.  I take special pride in protecting those who serve our country.

While in the Navy, I was an intelligence specialist and learned Russian in my capacity as an analyst.  I now use my knowledge of the Russian (and Ukrainian language) to serve clients from the former Soviet Union countries. I frequently travel to Ukraine and Russia providing volunteer work for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).  The OSCE is a joint European Union and State Department proxy that monitors civil society and free market programs in Eastern Europe, most notably in Ukraine and occupied Crimea.
