I have been practicing law for the past fifteen years.  I began my career working as a criminal defense attorney, which allowed me to gain trial experience and to build my understanding of the vehicle code and how it correlates with personal injury.  That experience gives me unique perspective on dealing with auto accidents, that too often include driving under the influence, hit and runs and various other criminal conduct.  It also allowed me an opportunity to gain trial experience at much younger age than a typical civil attorney.  If you have had the unfortunate experience of being involved in a car accident, I am happy to answer any questions that you may have.

I am a Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law with The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.

My extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of estate planning, trust administration, probate and elder law will give you peace of mind in knowing that your assets are secure and will be distributed according to your specific wishes.

I am a trial lawyer that represents businesses, executives, entrepreneurs, investors and property owners in litigation matters with a focus on business disputes, intellectual property, white collar criminal defense and cross border matters.. Previously, I served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of California in San Diego.  I also gained valuable experience in complex business litigation while representing Fortune 500 companies for top-tier firms such as Sheppard Mullin, Mintz Levin and Luce Forward Hamilton & Scripps.

Hello,. I fight for all of my clients as if they were family, and I am proud to say that other lawyers from all over San Diego County have hired me for themselves and for their family members.. One of the things that I believe sets our firm apart is that we go through a cost/benefit analysis of each case, and even major case turning point decisions - with the client, and involve the client in that key strategic bird's-eye analysis.  We feel some attorneys can lose that "big picture" perspective, and while they pursue a set of theoretical ethical standards, their clients are ultimately harmed by their cognitive inflexibility.. Another aspect of our firm that we strive to keep is our small firm/fast paced culture.  Our team is close-knit - a family if you will.  We know each other's families and we push one another to achieve top honors in every aspect of our lives.  Inside the firm we put 100% into staying current with legal issues, determining our clients' objectives and achieveing them, and developing a personal connection with our clients as we are trusted with their children, their savings, sometimes even their freedom.  Outside the firm we pursue martial arts, surfing, and hot yoga among other activities.  Our lives are balanced and our work product is premium.. While I could wax proflific about our firm's character for pages, I will spare you the diatribe and invite you to...come check us out!  We look forward to meeting you.. Best,. Joshua Hershon

Focused on alternative dispute resolution in family law as a priority, Daniel Martin has been practicing for more than 20 years. He brings extensive experience as a top litigator to the team of attorneys at Fleischer & Ravreby. But despite his many hours of experience in both jury trials and bench trials, he prefers to work with his clients to find good legal solutions outside the court system that include divorce mediation san diego.. Martin keeps his clients foremost in mind when working through any legal matter. While he has no hesitation standing up for a client in court, his experience allows him to recommend to clients when it is prudent to settle a case for a good result that saves the client excess attorney fees. “My job is to protect my client, to get people out of my office with the least amount of emotional and financial damage possible. I tell them what they need to hear, which leads to them to good decisions.”

First and foremost, I am Mason's mommy, and fur-mom to two adorable rescue pit bull terriers, Piglet (14) and Tyson (12).  I'm a die-hard USC Trojan (Fight on!), a perpetual wonderluster, and in my spare time you can find me on a snowboard, yoga mat, or simply just exploring the great outdoors with my fam.. On a professional note, my legal practice focusses exclusively on Estate Planning - drafting wills & trusts, trust administration, wealth preservation planning, and elder law.  I manage my own law practice, Tasch Law Firm, which is based out of Coastal Carlsbad, with offices in Sorrento Valley & Mission Valley, and satellite offices in Pacific Beach and Orange County.. I believe that every single person needs some level of Estate Planning, and it is my goal to make it easily accessable (from both a cost & convinience standpoint), and easily understandable.  I know I've done my job when a client exclaims, "Wow.  That was easy!" at the end of our meeting- it makes my day!

Finally... a peaceful and fair divorce for a low flat fee Divorce does not have to destroy your family emotionally or financially. Court has nothing to do with fairness and divorce lawyers can keep things going just to make more money. Divorce mediation saves money, time and stress. Why pay lawyer fees of $40,000 to $400,000 when you don't need to?. ---. I have a Masters in Special Education and taught severely emotionally disturbed children for many years. I came to the law with a bias in favor of doing what is in the best interest of the children and was saddened to see how our adversarial system rips up families with no thought of fairness or helping couples get along (instead of fighting) so the children can be protected. After 8 years of private practice I swore I would never take another adversarial case and have done nothing but mediation for the past 5 years. I have helped over 350 couples divorce without fighting and every one has made a deal after working with me. On average it takes between 4.5 - 7 hours to complete the whole thing. Cutting divorce lawyers out of the process saves a LOT of money, stress and ugliness.

Born in Madison, Wisconsin and raised in Riverside, California, Julie A. Cardin, the daughter of an attorney, has been serving clients for more than fifteen years with special compassion and a rare set of skills that includes law, tax preparation and public accounting. She's proven to be an effective advocate for those who face audits by the Internal Revenue Service and the tax agencies of the State of California. Her skill and knowledge is further buttressed by her experience as a field auditor for the IRS. There, she learned to comb tax returns for anomalies, discrepancies, abnormalities, overstated expenses and understated income, learning all the while how to prepare returns for clients so as not to raise red flags in the first place. She also learned what IRS agents need in order to resolve a case and just how much room the law affords taxpayers to negotiate. She so impressed the IRS that they sent her out, at age 25, to lecture large gatherings of agents, CPAs and attorneys on the proper preparation of tax returns. Ms. Cardin earned a bachelor of science degree in accounting from the California State Polytechnic University in Pomona and went on to work for Certified Public Accountants in San Diego, Orange and Riverside counties. Finding that accounting was not enough to occupy her restless intelligence, and still holding a day job, she enrolled in law school. National University, which later was absorbed into the Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, awarded her a scholarship. On her first try, in 1990, she passed the California Bar examination. Her law school brought her back to teach courses in taxation, community property and professional skills. Attorney Cardin is a member of San Diego's North County Bar Association. A CPA in California since 1992, she also became licensed in 2005 as a Certified Public Accountant in Nevada.
