I primarily focus on single-plaintiff, multi-plaintiff, and class action employment litigation in state and federal courts.. I provide top-notch legal representation to employees who have suffered from harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and wrongful termination in the workplace. I have in-depth knowledge and experience in a variety of employment-related issues, including employee termination, reasonable accommodations under the ADA and FEHA, wage and hour laws, harassment and discrimination issues.

I help divorcing people with complex financial issues resolve their disputes quickly, sensibly, and with as little drama as possible.. Divorce cases are bad enough when the financials are easy, but when they are complicated, things get messy in a hurry.. I work with clients who use their resources wisely and get information quickly so that they can help me help them. They want to get the straight news, without sugarcoating, and stay away from destroying all that they have created so far-- both financially and emotionally.. Early in my career, I spent too much time in litigation lamenting how destructive and unnecessarily costly trials were. I don't do that any more. I don't litigate, and I don't lament. I simply make sure to give clients good advice, early on, without blowing smoke or thumping my chest.. In my divorce and paternity practice, I help clients gain perspective, calm, and clarity as we walk through the process of re-constructing their lives. Whether in mediation sessions, collaborative law meetings, or daily discussions, I help clients create plans that mitigate much of the adversarial positioning and emotional damage common in the dissolution process.. I help clients divorce without drama.

I believe in compassion, generosity, and providing solutions to help others facing often catastrophic life-changing events.. These challenging events often take the form of a serious injury, failing relationships, partnership disputes, or other challenge that sends that sinking feeling to the pit of one's stomach.  Much of the time, this sense of dread is mostly due to facing the unknown.. I want my clients to know that things will get better, it is going to be okay, and that its possible to not only persevere in the face of these gutt wrenching challenges, but thrive.. Unfortunately, facing these events will likely happen to you at some point in your life, and surrounding yourself with the right people and professionals is crucial.. If this approach resonates with you, I am happy to discuss how I might be able to help.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two young daughters.

Our firm prides itself on its motion practice, and has recently obtained several victories in Federal Court on motions to dismiss, which were published in the Daily Journal.. I received my BA in History from Arizona State University before moving to Los Angeles to obtain a Master's Degree in Russian at UCLA. After successfully negotiating two employment contracts with one of the largest employers in the state of California, I pursued my JD from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. Since becoming a member of the bar, I have practiced in personal injury, premises liability, product liability, government claims and business litigation.
