I have decided not to run for Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge for 2022.  Maybe for 2024.  It is difficult for a civil attorney to win these elections, but I really want to try.  For this election there were very few upen seats, and approximately 5 - 6 prosecutors/government attorneys are running in each slot, so I don't really have a chance.  If you are interested in helping me in 2024, please contact me for further information.. I have included a photo of my paralegal!  His name is Oscar.  He claims that I work him "like a dog".  He tells me that all the assignments are "ruff"..

I have a very balanced life consisting of work, recreation, exercise and travelling, as well as spending time with friends and family.
