I have been an equestrienne for enarly 20 years, and am currently training my own mare for competition dressage.  I live, work, and train in the Tri-Valley Area but have handled cases for clients from San Diego to Redding to Lake Tahoe.  I feel there is more to being a lawyer than just lawyering, and I believe that finding out a client's goals is the first step in determining what strategy to employ to get to that goal.  I guarantee you will get nothing but my best efforts to resolve your case in an effective and cost efficient manner.

I am the Daughter of an attorney and knew that this is what I always wanted to do.  I made a point to get an LL.M in Taxation after my law degree to better understand the various tax implications of estate planning and law.  I volunteer for the terminally ill in estate planning and tax matters and have for a few groups for 23 years or more.  One of my cases involved a wretched case of Elder Abuse and I pursued it for 7 years, 1997-2005.  I took it personally and stood up for Harold because no one else would.  Elder Abuse is pernicious and not to be tolerated.  In addition, I work with Special Needs Trusts to protect potential assets of those with special needs. It is a big part of what motivates me.. I was raised in San Francisco but went to High School here in Danville, where I now live with my family.  I have listed some litigation cases to show my general experience but they were cases that were filed so were public record.  On the other hand, my estate planning clients are very important to me. Their privacy and confidentiality are critical to me so you will not see me list the many cases or estate plans I have done because I will not 'name names' for better publicity or scores.  Their privacy, like yours, is more important.

I am a litigator who specializes in trust, estate and securities litigation.  I handle cases for trustees, beneficiaries, financial professionals, investment advisors, stockbrokers, Wall Street banks, and broker-dealers. These cases include civil, probate and regulatory claims based on breach of fiduciary duty, breach of trust, fraud, suitability, mismanagement of mutual funds and managed accounts, the prudent investor rule, as well as employee promissory notes, up-front loans, raiding, trade secret, unfair competition and related employment claims.  I have been practicing more than 25 years in the San Francisco Bay Area.  I founded my firm, Barr & Attorneys, with my longtime friend Loren Barr in Danville, California.

I handle trials, arbitrations, appeals, mediations, and court-ordered settlement conferences across the real estate spectrum, including: boundary disputes, easements, ownership disputes, priorities of title, deeds of trust, quiet title and title correction, mechanic's liens, construction disputes, title insurance coverage, escrows, real estate transactions "gone bad," representing real estate professionals (realtors, lenders, mortgage brokers), and commercial unlawful detainers.. When I am not in court, I draft and negotiate commercial and residential leases, counsel clients in real estate transactions, and advise clients on title insurance coverage and escrows.. I started my career as associate claims counsel with First American Title Insurance Company, where I handled coverage determinations under title insurance policies, managed claims litigation, and provided legal counsel on title insurance, escrows, and a variety of complex real estate issues.
