I have often been asked if I think I can match up with some of the older attorneys that have been doing this for 30 or 40 years. My answer is that I believe that I can do a better job. To me, there is no such thing as a "small case". I will give 100% matter how big or small a case may be. I can guarantee you that I will always fight to get you what you deserve, or more.. Furthermore, success in a case often relies heavily upon an attorney's ability to research relevant case law as well as information about the opposing the party. Today, the majority of this is done electronically. Having grown up using computers and the internet on a regular basis, I am very tech savvy and have various methods that I utilize to give my clients an edge over the competition when it comes to gathering information that is necessary in bringing forth a strong case.. About me personally, I am fluent in English, Hebrew, and Spanish, which comes in quite handy here in Los Angeles. I've traveled to approximately 38 different countries, in 6 different continents.

I've learned a lot along the way, and I am very grateful for being blessed with the opportunity to not only enrich myself, but to help enrich others as well.. I look forward to assisting you with whatever legal issues may come your way.

I have been practicing law since 1995.  I have spent much of my time helping fathers who are in arrears with their child support payments.  Many of them have had their wages garnished, drivers' licenses suspended or levies on their bank accounts.  I help get their lives back on track by placing them on a reasonable payment plan and releasing their driver's and professional licenses so that they can continue living a normal life.  I can also help modify your support payments and reverse some of the judgments made against you if there is a basis for it.  At times clients are charged with a misdemeanor for non-payment of child support for which we also help resolve their cases in order not to plead to a misdemeanor charge.. Many of our clients are out of state clients whom we end up representing without them ever traveling to Los Angeles.  This saves clients a great deal of time and money and that is one of the reasons that I built a very informative website for them so that they can learn about me and how I can help them.. We also help retrieve licenses for clients who have suspended licenses due to either non-payment of a ticket or tickets, too many points on their driver's licenses, hold on their license or warrants out for their arrest for neglecting a ticket.  We are 98% successful in getting these client's their licenses back which is crutial especially in LA.  We handle all tickets and cases from beginning to end with no appearances necessary by the client.  This saves our clients a great deal of time by not standing in long line or waiting in the courtrooms.. I also help commercial driver's licensees with their tickets by either attemtpting to dismiss or to lower their tickets to a no-point violation since the option of traffic school is not available to them.. Our firm also handles a great number of DUI case with best results in addition to all misdemeanor and felony criminal charges as well as personhal Injury and accident case..
