I am a solo practitioner providing affordable legal services in the areas of estate planning, probate, conservatorships and elder law.

An attorney since 1992, I graduated from the Washington College of Law at American University with highest honors. I practiced law with Covington & Burling in Washington, D.C. before moving to San Diego in 1999 and practicing with the law firms of Shustak, Jalil & Heller, Shustak & Partners, and La Bella & McNamara.

As a litigator, I handled many cases involving insurance coverage, financial and real estate fraud, elder financial abuse, trusts and fiduciary duties. I have also served as a senior appellate attorney for the Fourth District Court of Appeal of California.
